While there is some concern that smaller companies will find it harder to operate in an economy that is slowing down, the management says the portfolio is a seasoned one and appears confident of maintaining the quality of credit.
 
The bank's Tier I capital adequacy ratio now stands at a much lower 9.93 per cent, down from 10.2 per cent in March 2008 and 13 per cent post its equity issue about a year back.
