Corporate Volunteering

The message that PNB percolates to its staff regarding CSR is that whatever we do today, will have an impact on future generations. We have been undertaking CSR activities with active participation of staff members and the local populace. Further, to augment our efforts, an association comprising of senior women officials and the wives of senior bank officials - "PNB PRERNA", has been voluntarily involved in carrying forward these CSR activities of the Bank.

The Bank considers Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a commitment to operate in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner, while simultaneously recognizing the interests of its stakeholders. At the heart of this strategy, lies our bank's unwavering commitment for creating and sustaining vibrant communities.

X. TREASURY OPERATIONS

The liquidity remained mostly comfortable in FY 2022-23 in the Banking system. However, to contain the rising inflation, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has increased the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) to 4.50 per cent from 4.00 per cent of NDTL in May'22. Further, RBI has also absorbed liquidity from the system through various tools such as Variable Reverse Repo Rate (VRRR). At the same time, RBI was always there to infuse liquidity, whenever, it was required through variable repo rate auction.

Our Gross Domestic Investments stood at Rs.3,99,830 crore as on 31^st March, 2023 with YoY growth of 6.6 percent.

The Bank actively traded in SLR and Non-SLR securities throughout the financial year. Total Trading Profit for FY2022-23 was Rs.1047 Crore.

1. Fixed Income (SLR/NSLR)

Easy monetary policies across the globe during the pandemic period and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which disrupted supply chains and caused a rise in energy and other commodity prices sent inflation rates worldwide above the Central Banks'targeted range.

This forced Central banks across the globe to tighten financial conditions by increasing policy rates. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was no exception. To combat sticky inflation, the RBI increased the repo rate by 250 basis points from 4.00 per cent to 6.50 per cent in FY 2022-23, which reduced liquidity from almost Rs.7 Lakh Crore in the beginning of Financial Year to Rs. 1 Lakh Crore by the end of Financial Year as per RBI data. This resulted in hardening of yields across the curve with 1-year T Bill reaching a high of 7.48 per cent and 10-year benchmark G-sec yields touched the high of 7.62 per cent.

In the Union Budget for the FY 2023-24, estimated gross borrowing of the Central government was announced at Rs.15.43 Lakh Crore, largely in line with the market expectation and the gross fiscal deficit was estimated at 5.9 per cent of GDP. Overall, a fiscal consolidation of 50 basis points has been achieved, along with a push on investment.

2. Equity & Mutual Funds

FY 2022-23 proved to be a rough year for equity markets. The turbulence can be attributed to interest rate hikes, liquidity tightening, foreign investment outflows, geo political tension and the resulting soaring of fuel and food prices.

The S&P BSE Sensex closed at 58,991.52, while the Nifty 50 closed at 17,359.75 on 31^st March, 2023. Over the past one year, the S&P BSE Sensex gained 0.72 per cent while the Nifty 50 declined 0.6 percent during the same period.

3. Forex

USD/INR traded in the range of 76 to 83 per dollar during the year. The Indian Rupee depreciated against USD during the year on account of geopolitical tensions, rate hikes by US FED to contain rising inflation, hardening US treasury yields, which led to outflows of USD from Indian economy. However, rupee performed better than most of the other emerging market currencies. It finally closed at USD/INR82.1750on 31^s* March, 2023.

XI. CUSTOMERCARE

XIII.PNB'S SUBSIDIARIES AND REGIONAL RURAL BANKS

1. DOMESTIC

a. PNB Gilts Ltd.: FY2022-23 was characterized by firming up of yields for most of the year, and witnessed some moderation while approaching towards the end. The year began with hardening of the benchmark yield by 61 bps due to higher crude oil prices and monetary policy tightening across the major global economies amid persisting inflationary pressure.

During the end of Q2 FY 2022-23, yields increased intermittently on the back of hawkish commentary by Fed officials on US monetary policy, which was however, offset by ease in crude oil prices and rising expectations over likely inclusion of India's bond in global bond indices. During the second half, G-sec yields hardened in the beginning, taking cues from the sharp surge in US treasury yields following the 75 bps rate hike by the US Fed and its hawkish forward guidance, followed by the policy repo rate hike by the Reserve Bank. Subsequently, the market sentiment was also dented after JP Morgan held off the inclusion of Indian government bonds in its widely tracked emerging market bond index. Towards the end of the third quarter, bond yields extended a softening bias in tandem with the easing of US treasury yields and the decline in international crude oil prices. The last quarter marked the range bound trading in the mid and longer dated segment, while shorter dated yields firmed up significantly due to continued rate hike expectations. In March 2023, the yields softened, taking cues from US yields following bank collapses, which drove investors to safe assets, which had a salutary impact on Indian yields as well.

During the year, the 10-yr benchmark yield touched a high and low of 7.62 per cent and 6.84 per cent respectively and closed at 7.32 per cent as on 31^s1 March, 2023.

Against the backdrop of deteriorating market conditions, PNB Gilts Ltd continued to fulfill all its obligations as a Primary Dealer mandated by RBI both in Primary and Secondary market.

(77.22) Crore during FY 2022-23 as against Rs. 165.71 Crore during FY 2021-22.

The Bank will continue to focus on building Business through traditional and digital banking. Mobilization of Low-Cost Deposits remain a focus area. Mobilization of Current Accounts will be the area of thrust for FY 2023-24. The Bank will ensure that all the Business units of the Bank function as the profit centers for the Bank. The Bank will strive to regain the lost share in the system and continue to make efforts towards new customer acquisition. The Bank will continued focus on customer service through product differentiation & value addition at every step. Digitalisation of products & services will also contribute to that effect and will be prioritized.

In the area of Asset Quality, the Bank will deploy all the out effort to arrest slippage and will aim at doubling recoveries over the amount of slippage.

Nation building byway of implementing Government Schemes & Financial Inclusion been the spirit of the Bank. As of now, PNB has lived up to the expectations of the Government and of the society at large particularly the underprivileged sections.

The markets are buoyant with positive sentiments forthe Bank. Further, with the anticipation of RBI not taking any further rate hike action as of now, we may have reached the end of this cycle of peak interest rates. In FY 2023-24 growth in deposits should be higher while that in credit marginally lower which should assuage the liquidity situation. The Bank will continue on sustained growth trajectory.

All in all, there are expectations of evolution of positive business sentiments which may provide ample opportunities for business growth of the Bank. Further with the anticipation of RBI not taking any further rate hike action as of now hence we may have reached the end of this cycle of peak interest rates. In FY 2023-24 growth in deposits should be higher while that in credit marginally lower which should assuage the liquidity situation. Therefore, the picture should be steady going ahead with rates probably tending to move downwards than upwards given that inflation projections for FY 2023-24 are in the 5.5 percent band.
