operational though not at optimum level, over a period of time going ahead,<br />

� Credit <strong>com</strong>position likely to tilt in favor of retail, MSME and agriculture:<br />
In FY12, with respect to tenure of credit book, the bank’s credit <strong>com</strong>position<br />
increased in favor of term loans to 80% from 77% in FY11. In terms of security<br />
available for the credit book, proportion of secured loans increased to 67% from<br />
62%. Also, exposure to public sector entities came down but on sensitive<br />
exposure front, exposure to <strong>com</strong>mercial real estate (CRE) increased substantially<br />
to 4.4% from 2.5% in FY11. The increased exposure to CRE is backed by lease<br />
rentals.Essentially, in FY12, <strong>Syndicate</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> grew its credit book slower than<br />
the industry with taking higher amount collaterals.<br />
On maturity profile front, the bank’s credit portfolio average maturity remained<br />
almost same with 33% of credit book in upto 1 year maturity buckets as <strong>com</strong>pared<br />
to 32% in FY11. The bank’s cumulative domestic asset-liability mismatch (for<br />
maturity buckets up to 1 year) increased to 28% from 23% of total deposits in<br />
FY11. Shorter end of liabilities funded longer-term investment papers.<br />
On credit portfolio & exposure concentration issues, the bank de-risked its<br />
credit portfolio & exposure reflecting into lesser concentration in top twenty loan<br />
accounts and borrowers. Though, concentration of NPA jumped to 23.4% from<br />
8.0% in FY11. The sharp rise was mainly due to addition of two loan accounts<br />
in Q4 FY12.<br />
On credit book front, the bank’s key focus areas remain on retail banking<br />
(particularly Housing loans), MSME and Agriculture. In an effort to enhance<br />
advances yield, the bank would focus more on MSME, agriculture and some of<br />
the retail segments. More credit disbursement would be done at RO/branch<br />
level.<br />
