YES Bank to boost retail book
In an interview with Business Standard, Rajan Pental, executive director, YES Bank, said that the bank can grow its retail book by 30 per cent if it desires because the platforms are ready, but they want to do it in a regimented way.
The bank is also shifting its focus from low-yielding secured retail products to medium-yielding ones while ensuring that its high-yielding unsecured retail portfolio does not exceed 25 per cent of the overall retail book as the bank views anything beyond 25 per cent unsecured book to be 'risky'.
