Loan growth to pick up from FY18 onwards:
KVB had a fairly strong loan CAGR of 14.9% over FY11-17.However, FY17 was year of consolidation and loan book grew by only 4.7%. We expect loan growth to pick up to 11% over FY17-19. Deposit growth is expected at 9% during the period.
Asset quality likely to stabilize going ahead:
KVB’s slippages remained high during FY17 and hence GNPAs % went up to 3.58% vs 1.3%. However, large part of the troubled accounts has been classified as NPAs and hence gradually we expect the asset quality to improve.
NIM likely to see further improvement:
There were 25 bps improvements in NIM during FY17, with share of CASA growing and cost of fund coming down NIM is expected to improve further going ahead.
