35 = Business Review =
36
37 During the year ended March 31,2020, the Bank continued to make progress on its strategic objectives even as the year saw significant challenges. The Bank, positioning itself as a retail-focused bank, continued to strategically ramp up its business in retail and priority sectyor segments, while scaling back its corporate exposure. In consonance with this strategy, the Bank pursued initiatives to expand its Retail, Agri and MSME (RAM) asset book which, due to its granular nature, would help the Bank to achieve a more stable and diversified asset mix. Simultaneously, the Bank focused on augmenting its low-cost deposit base, i.e. CASA deposits and retail term deposits, while reducing reliance on institutional deposits. This strategy has aided the Bank in progressively reducing its cost of deposits as well as cost of funds during the year. The crux of the Bank’s business strategy has been to pave the way for ensuring stable operations in a risk-calibrated and granular manner. {{footnote}}https://www.idbibank.in/pdf/annualreport/IDBI-Bank-AnnualReport-2019-20.pdf{{/footnote}}
38
39 The Bank’s strategic initiatives received a further impetus with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) acquiring a majority stake in the Bank in January 2019 and becoming its promoter. The stake acquisition opened up new business avenues of mutual synergies for both the entities. To identify and tap these areas of synergy, a joint Task Force with members from both the Bank and LIC has been constituted. A Working Group has also been set up to oversee the implementation of the initiatives identified by the Task Force. The synergy initiatives are aimed at serving the Bank’s customers and the LIC family under one roof.
