Commenting on the bank’s results, Vaibhav Agrawal VP-Research, Banking, Angel Broking said “The Canara Bank witnessed significant asset quality deterioration during the quarter, as Gross and Net NPA levels increased sequentially by around 17 per cent each. We believe that asset quality pressures for the banking sector are unlikely to abate as quickly as was expected earlier, as we take into consideration the recent macro developments in an overall weak macro environment.”
