Management Comments
Mr. KVS Manian
MD & CEO
This quarter has been pivotal for us as we strategically reoriented both the asset and liability sides of our balance sheet, addressing fundamental aspects to position the Bank strongly for the future. We have chosen to focus on granular retail deposit growth instead of high value, expensive deposits. We have also consciously avoided low yielding or high-risk assets for the sake of growth. Notwithstanding this disciplined approach, we have achieved a year-on-year growth of 15% in advances and 11% in deposits, positioning us competitively within the sector. We achieved this with minimal disruption. Our asset quality has reached its strongest levels in a decade. In alignment with our commitment to building a robust foundation, we have undertaken accelerated provisioning for certain riskier asset classes this quarter. We remain steadfast in our focus on building a high-quality franchise that delivers value to all stakeholders whether through superior customer service and relationships, an enhanced employee proposition, or consistent and sustainable earnings quality. As we look ahead, we are optimistic about future opportunities and confident in our ability to create enduring value for all our stakeholders.
