The National Umbrella organization is further set to reinforce this stand for the cooperative sector by padding it up with required capital muscle and best practices and creating a pool of capital and talent to reinforce the brand Cooperative.
In the midst of all these developments, Banking Frontiers is coming up with its 18th edition of the National Cooperative Banking Summit and the Frontiers in Cooperative Banking Awards 2024 at Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, the first time to be held in the state.
Cooperative Banking: Stronger Than Ever!
Cooperative banking brand has undergone a consolidation. With the regulations getting more stringent on performance and governance standards. Every year the number of banks has been rationalized.
However, the share of Cooperatives in priority lending has gone up by 27% though overall deposits are down by 0.28% which is negligible considering the reduction in the number of banks. They have already beaten the target of 60% by achieving 66% plus in priority lending.
This surely shows that the trust and confidence in Cooperative is here to stay unless clouded by shoddy business practices. The industry is now adopting stronger business strategies coupled with a technological edge to empower its business.
