As a conscious business decision and a course correction measure, the bank has not emphasised on large corporate lending due to low yields and highly competitive rates in this segment, which would have adversely impacted the NIM, Karnataka Bank said in a statement.

This is reflected in the fact that the share of large corporates to gross advances has dropped by about 3 per cent as on March 2023 (provisional) vis-à-vis December 2022, it said.
