KEY POINTS:
- RACE stands for:
- Grow RAM (retail, agriculture, and MSME) loans,
- Improve Asset quality,
- Boost CASA (current account, savings account deposits), and
- Increase Earnings.
- The MD of Union Bank of India wants the bank to rank among the top three PSB lenders, be the industry leader in a few niche markets, and be a contender in government-sponsored programmes.
- Regarding the fundamentals of being one of the top three PSBs, the bank’s profitability and net interest margin should rise, the non-performing asset ratios should drop, and the capital to risk-weighted asset ratio must rise.
- These are the fundamental criteria that Union Bank of India is considering and targeting.
