Credit growth
The bank will step up loans to the priority sector loans (that is loans given to micro and small enterprises, home and agriculture segment) so that the 17-18 per cent credit growth target can be achieved, said Prabhakar. Andhra Bank is falling short of the 40 per cent priority sector lending target by 3 percentage points.
To achieve this target by March-end 2013, the bank will have to increase credit to the priority sector by about Rs 1,500-2,000 crore.
A. A. Taj, Executive Director, said overall, the bank will recover bad loans aggregating Rs 1,000 crore by March-end 2013 at the rate of Rs 250 crore every quarter.
On the capital front, Taj said the bank will be able to support a 20 per cent growth in credit without raising capital until 2014-15.
