In view of the rapid increase in the loan portfolio the Bank has firmly secured its loan portfolio by hedging future credit risks, following the principles of conservatism in provisioning loans. At the same time the risk exposure of the Bank's loan portfolio has been continuously diminishing which is another proof of the Bank's adherence to the so-called reasonable risk policy.
