Public sector lender Union Bank of India may go for a follow-on public offer (FPO) or a rights issue after the government’s planned infusion of capital in it. The government is likely to infuse Rs 1,150 crore. With this, the tier-I capital will go up to 8.7 per cent. Accordingly, government holding will increase to 58 per cent from 55 per cent. The capital adequacy ratio was 12.53 per cent at the end of September.
The bank is planning to raise up to $200 million (Rs 900 crore) from markets abroad in the next two months, through a bond issue. The bank had raised $400 mn from medium-term notes and $175 mn from bonds in the past four months. Whether the funds would be raised through Swiss francs, dollars or euro-denominated bonds is to be decided later. The money would be used for funding the Hong Kong business.
The bank expects to meet 20 per cent deposit growth and 23 per cent credit growth by the end of this financial year. “Now our credit growth is at 25 per cent, while deposits are growing by 20.3 per cent.crackcrack
