“Agribank has made significant progress in cleaning up legacy problem assets in the last five years, with material improvements in the second half of 2018,” the company said.
Funding and liquidity are good at Agribank, it said, adding that the bank is mainly funded by retail deposits, and has a low reliance on market-sensitive funding.
