OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
In tandem with financial performance improvements,
FY2013 also witnessed operational improvements of
the Bank. As we continue to grow our business, focus
was aligned at actively reaching out to companies
with proven performance, which are ready to venture
overseas. The results of this targeted marketing
approach have been very encouraging.
In FY2013, while we have continued to intensify and
expand our business with existing large-scale clients
in our drive to build quality assets. The Bank have also
begun to innovate new products and services in a
move to attract diverse range of clients. For example,
our new Vendor Development Programmes are very
much relevant to SMEs in particular. As we continue to
mature and develop more capabilities, we are beginning
to take on more complex international projects. For
example, we have harnessed our cross-border funding
expertise and experience to offer international project
financing to companies with contracts in hand. We
have also partnered with other financial institutions in
international syndication projects. With our track record
in delivering infrastructure development projects in
Asia, we anticipate international syndication to be an
exciting and growing part of our business in future.
Even with our transformation plan well on track in
FY2013, we remain committed to our pursuit of
sustainable business and quality asset growth. In
FY2013 we have continued to review and refine our
4-pronged approach of transforming people, processes,
procedures and technology with commendable results.
We will thus continue to monitor our operations and
make any necessary adjustments to ensure effective and
efficient operations as we move to the next level.
