Yes Bank MD and CEO Prashant Kumar said the bank targets recoveries and upgrades of more than ₹5,000 crore in the FY23. While the bank expects to improve the Retail and MSME Advances Mix further, and aims for a CASA ratio of 35%. The bank has announced its annual report for FY22 on Wednesday.
On FY22 performance, Kumar in the annual report said, "YES BANK has closed the year with a first Full Year profit of ₹1,066 crore and continued its efforts to build businesses across all areas of banking."
"Maximising market share growth in the digital payments space has been our concerted strategy in line with Digital India. In fact, the Bank processes nearly every third digital transaction undertaken in the country," Kumar said.
At the end of FY22, Yes Bank's deposits stood at ₹197,192 crore, marking a growth of 21% over last year. Advances demonstrated a significant upward trend closing at Rs181,052 crore for the year, an 8% increase over last year’s figures.
A strong run-rate has been maintained in the numbers of accounts acquired, with a total of 10 Lakh CASA accounts opened and 11 Lakh retail FD accounts opened during the year. This uptick has been achieved despite prevailing low-interest rates offered by the banking sector, Kumar said.
