The state-owned bank is strategically positioning itself for measured, high-quality growth in the competitive banking sector. Rastriya Banijya Bank Limited successfully concluded its annual ‘Business Meet 2082’ on December 3rd and 4th in Sauraha.
The two-day event saw the participation of 67 branch offices from across the nation, all recognized for their significant contributions to loan disbursement and deposit collection.
The conclave, chaired by Bank Chairman Dev Kumar Dhakal, centered on adapting to the current banking market’s requirements. Discussions focused on RBB’s strategy, loan expansion initiatives, risk management frameworks, and crucial service improvements.
Strategic Planning and Market Assessment
During the meet, every participating branch presented a detailed working plan. These presentations included in-depth analyses of potential lending sectors, current market positioning, local business opportunities, and strategies for maintaining a healthy deposit-to-loan balance.
This granular approach ensures RBB’s strategy remains grounded in practical, on-the-ground realities. Chairman Dhakal addressed the gathering, emphasizing the need for cautious yet effective progress in business expansion. He mandated the identification of high-potential sectoral business opportunities.
As a government-owned institution, the bank must maintain and expand its positive public image. Dhakal urged all branch chiefs to make service delivery more streamlined, professional, and ultimately, more customer-centric.
Focusing on Qualitative Loan Portfolio
A major directive from the bank’s leadership centered on the shift toward qualitative loan expansion. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Devendra Raman Khanal was unequivocal in his address, stressing the imperative to transform the bank’s substantial deposit base into a high-quality loan portfolio.
CEO Khanal directed branches to prioritize enhancing service provision, robustly managing credit risk, and ensuring all customer interactions are both positive and transparent.

He emphasized that branch offices must play an active and competitive role in the dynamic market environment. The market demands proactiveness, and RBB’s branches are expected to deliver.
The bank confirmed that future priorities will include dedicated training and capacity building for employees across branch, provincial, and central office levels. This focus on skills enhancement is necessary to support the planned increase in loan quality and service standards.
The Road Ahead: Risk and Reliability
RBB is clearly steering its strategy toward sustainable growth rather than mere volume. Quality and reliability are now the cornerstones of its lending approach.
