Directors' Report

Your Bank's Board of Directors is pleased to present the Report on the Bank's business and operations for the financial year ended March 31, 2023.

IntheFinancialYear(FY)2022-23,theglobaleconomystageda broad-based recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic induced output contraction but was confronted with new challenges stemming from the escalation in geo-political tensions. This resulted in higher commodity prices and thus, worsening the existing inflationary pressures. To combat the heightened price pressures, several economies across the world embarked on monetary tightening which led to increase in interest rates globally. Amidst the recessionary fears, sporadic surges in the COVID-19 cases also impacted the global demand, thereby leading to a slowdown in the cross-border trade flows. The simultaneous occurrence of these challenges weighed down the global growth momentum during the year. Like the rest of the world, India also was confronted with these challenges but withstood them better than most large economies, aided by inherent strengths that have been reinforced by wide-ranging initiatives and policy reforms in the recent years. In the post-pandemic period, the revival in economic activities has been led by the concerted policy incentives for the most vulnerable and pandemic-affected segments, higher public capex, release of pent-up consumption demand, higher investment & capacity utilisation as well as rapid normalisation of movement of people and goods. Consequently, the Indian economy continued to witness healthy economic growth in FY 2022-23. With this, India continued to remain one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. In the year 2022, India also emerged as the fifth largest economy globally with a nominal GDP of US$ 3.4 trillion. Gaining traction from the improvement in the macroeconomic conditions, the banking sector further consolidated its financial health and saw a sustained improvement in its performance. Backed by stronger balance sheets and comfortable capital positions, the banks were well-positioned to cater to the growing credit demand in the economy. The improved economic prospects saw a broad-based uptick in the credit growth from all the segments. Though the rate cycle was on upswing, the credit demand remained healthy on the back of higher capacity utilisation and higher corporate profitability. With the interest rates on deposits also increasing in tandem with the monetary policy rate, there has been a renewed shift in favour of bank deposits as an investment avenue, thereby supporting the deposit growth in the economy. Aided by the healthy growth in deposits and credit, most banks in India recorded an improvement in the financial performance during the year.

Taking advantage of the conducive business environment, your Bank adopted a series of strategic measures that helped it in recording further improvement in various financial and operational parameters during the year.
