MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2019 has been the first of its kind the world haswitnessed in the 21st century. We all learnt to live with the Covid and faced threewaveswith self-belief and courage.

Central Banks and Governments around the world have taken structural and financialreforms to save their economies. Banks especially public sector banks played a major rolein carrying forward and implementing the policies announced by the Government and centralbank.

In this unfavourable situation our bank's performance was remarkable and achieved anet profitof Rs.1039 crore.

The positive bankresults are possible only with the contribution of each and every one.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK:

At present economies around the world are facing multiple risks like geopoliticalconflicts supply disruptions and mounting commodity prices especially of food andenergy which have fuelled inflationary pressuresaround the World.

Global financial conditions are a bit fragile with the global uncertainties liquiditytightening higher inflation and rising interest rates. Financial stability risks haverisen on several fronts even though so far no global systemic event affecting financialinstitutions or markets hasmaterialized.

In many countries inflation has become a central concern. In some advanced economiesincluding the United States and some European countries it has reached its highest levelin more than 40 years. Central banks are facing a challenging trade-off between fightingrecord-high inflation and safeguarding the post-pandemic recovery at a time of heighteneduncertainty about prospects for the global economy. Bringing inflation back down to thetarget and preventing an unmooring of inflation expectations require a delicate act ofremoving accommodation while preventing a disorderly tightening of financial conditionsthat could interact with financial vulnerabilities and weigh on growth.

Central banks of major economies around the world have started policy normalisation tolower the inflation rate but the ongoing geopolitical tension disrupted the global supplychains and has increased input cost pressure. The resurgence of COVID-19 infections insome major economies and the associated lockdowns run the risk of further aggravating theglobal supply bottlenecks and input costpressures.

With the invasion and rising interest rates in developed economies capital outflowsincreased markedly from emerging market and developing economies. Tightening financialconditions net importers of commodities is putting downward pressure on the currencies ofthe most exposed countries to the developed economies.

Going forward rising inflation expectations prompts a more aggressive tighteningresponse from central banks in emerging markets and developing economies.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its World Economic Outlook April 2022 projected aslowdown in global growth from an estimated 6.1% in 2021 to 3.6% in 2022 and 2023.Inflation is projected on the higher side with rising commodity prices and supply-chainbottlenecks it is projected at 5.7 % in advanced economies and 8.7 % in emerging marketand developing

economies for 2022.

Global growth momentum can be regained with multilateral efforts like maintainingglobal liquidity opening economic activities following pandemic protocols and end of thewaras early as possiblewith bilateral talk.

Domestic Outlook:

The Indian economy is not immune to negative externalities. The surge in commodityprices is already posing inflation risks and forcing RBI to policy normalization andleading to a rise in interest rates inthe system.

Domestic growth momentum slowed down a bit in Q3 of FY21-22 with the emergence of theOmicron variant in January 2022 but Growth momentum picked up in February itself. RBI inits Monetary Policy Statement April 2022 projected real GDP growth of 7.2% in FY2022-23(revised from 7.8%). IMF in its World Economic Outlook April 2022 report has slashed itsforecast for India's gross domestic product growth to 8.2 % from 9% for 2022 saying thathigher commodity prices will weigh on private consumption and investment. Even though thegrowth forecast was reduced India is still the fastestgrowing major economyin the World.

With the third wave behind us and with the removal of all restrictions alongside abroadening of vaccination coverage economic activity is returning to speed. Most sectorsof the economy are reaching or have exceeded pre-pandemic levels. Notably bank credit hasgathered pace and the job market is gathering steam. There is acceleration in the traveland hospitality sectors. The construction and real estate sectors havealso registered apick-up.

Indian economy is expected to expand in FY 2022-23 with rise in rural and urban demandfinancial sector resilience robust export and remittancesand higherGovernmentcapitalexpenditure.

BANKING SECTOR:

Banking sector successfully overcame the second wave and third wave related risks in2021-22. This is possible because banks entered the pandemic with relatively strongbalance sheets higher levels and quality of capital and ample liquidity. Timely measurestook bygovernmentsand centralbanks to support the economy alsohelped the banks to facethepandemic.

Bank's Credit growth and asset quality improved with the growth in key sectors. Creditoff-take picked up during 2021-22 with the gradual return of normalcy after the pandemic.

Banks entered the financial year 2022 -23 with risks like geopolitical tensions inputprice inflation the spike in crude oil and a global rate hike cycle which could put somepressure on growth / NIMs in the near term.

During the financial year 2022-23 the banking sector may register double-digit creditand deposit growth with the green shoots in the economy provided geopolitical risk ends.
