Prashant Kumar, managing director & CEO, said, ?This quarter demonstrates a significant step in the RoA expansion journey, with Q4 FY24 RoA expanding to 0.5%. This is despite the one-off gains from tax refunds, SR recoveries and ARC Sale, being prudently utilized for strengthening the asset quality metrics- for instance, the NNPA + Net carrying value of SRs have more than halved over the course of the year to 1.1% from 2.4% in FY23. Moreover, we continue to witness strong momentum in our liability franchise with growth in Deposits expanding to over 20% YoY for first time in last 8 quarters. Importantly, despite challenging environment during the course of the year, our CASA ratio has expanded 10 bps YoY to 30.9%. This quarter, the bank continued to expand on its digital footprint with significant partnerships reflecting the inherent strength in the capabilities and technology infrastructure of the bank. As the bank embarks on the fifth year of this new journey, we remain focused on diligently executing the RoA expansion roadmap.?
