Chairman’s Message

Driving Sustainable Growth and Innovation

Dear Esteemed Shareholders,

I am delighted to present to you our 105th Annual Report for the Financial Year 2023-24 (FY24). This report provides the Bank’s financial data as well as our social, environmental and governance initiatives. It thereby provides a holistic picture of our contribution to the financial services sector, to our society and environment. This year has been a memorable year for all of us here at Union Bank of India. We emerged more resilient and stronger, and this is reflected not only in our business numbers but also in the trust that our customers have placed in us. I thank our customers, staff, shareholders, and other stakeholders for their unwavering cooperation and hard work to take our Bank to greater heights. Your continued trust inspires our pursuit of responsible banking and inclusive growth.

During FY24, India’s economic performance remained robust despite global challenges and geopolitical concerns. Strong GDP growth of close to 8% was clocked in FY24 and 7.0% growth is forecasted for FY25. Policy reforms by the government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has supported macro stability. The sharp hike in the government’s capital expenditure has supported growth and also initiated the crowding-in of private sector investment. The government is expected to continue with the thrust to capital expenditure next year as well to ensure that the growth recovery remains on track.
