ICICI Bank has commenced efforts for repatriating capital from its overseas banking subsidiaries in order to optimize capital for the ICICI Group and improve its return on equity. The bank has now received requisite approvals for repatriation of capital from ICICI Bank Canada, its wholly owned banking subsidiary in Canada, and has received an aggregate equity capital repatriation of CAD 75 million (amounting around Rs 400 crore) from that subsidiary. As a first step, the bank had already received approval for and repatriated $100 million of capital from its subsidiary in the United Kingdom in March 2013.
ICICI Bank Canada had a capital adequacy ratio of 33.2% as on March 31, 2013. Post the repatriation, the share capital of ICICI Bank Canada is CAD 857 million and its capital adequacy ratio continues to be strong.
ICICI Bank already has a strong capital adequacy ratio, and the above return of capital would further improve the same and enhance ICICI Bank’s ability to optimize capital deployment and return on equity.
