It gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report andFinancial Statements of Bank of Baroda
for the year ended31st March, 2010. The Bank¶s business and financialperformance during the
year under review has demonstratedits strength and stability amid uncertain
economic environment.
Indian economic environment was fairly mixed and uncertainduring 2009-10 (FY10). The first half
of the year (i.e., H1,FY10) was overcast by the monsoon failure and a sharpdecline in foodgrain
production, a continued slowdown infinal consumption expenditure, a muted demand for
bankcredit and a negative growth in both exports and imports.
However in the second half of 2009-10 (i.e., H2, FY10),countercyclical policies, a pickup in the
global economy anda recovery in capital inflows helped India overcome anadverse monsoon and
see a quick rebound in the economy.Both exports and imports turned positive by November-
December, 2009 after contracting continuously for theprevious 12-13 months.
The headline inflation (WPI), after remaining subdued duringH1, FY10 increased at a faster pace
in H2, FY10 and cameclose to 10.0% (y-o-y) in March, 2010. At the same time,driven by
manufacturing and mining sectors, the industrialproduction recovered from 1.1% (y-o-y) in April,
2009 to15.1% (y-o-y) in February, 2010. Rapid growth in bothinflation and industrial production
has prompted the ReserveBank of India (RBI) to normalise its Monetary Policy andmove its focus
to ³recovery management´ from the earlierthrust on ³crisis management´.

Chairman & Managing Director
While the demand for bank credit remained highly subduedand skewed throughout the year under
review, credit costsincreased for several banks with the maturing of restructuredloans. Moreover,
higher level of government marketborrowings and resultant volatility in bond yields posed
toughchallenges for the banking industry¶s treasury operations.
While it is challenging to remain immune to the disruptionscreated by economic shocks, Bank of
Baroda has been ableto withstand the turbulence more effectively during FY09and FY10 mainly
due to its strong business fundamentals.Again in the year FY10, the Bank could
demonstrateconsistent performance by delivering much better quality ofearnings, healthier asset
quality compared to bankingindustry with higher provision coverage and lower interestrate risk. It
has been steadily improving its market sharealso. It expanded its global business level by 24.0%
(y-o-y)to Rs 4,16,080 crore during the year FY10.
Despite ongoing global economic challenges, the Bank¶sinternational operations continued to
remain its mainstayand contributed almost 24.0% to the Bank¶s total businessand 20.0% to its
operating profits in FY10. The Bank¶sinternational business grew by 31.0% (y-o-y) in FY10
withoutany compromise with credit quality. The Bank¶s gross NPAin international operations
stood at 0.47% and net NPA atjust 0.11% in FY10.
ne of the greatest strengths of the Bank over a period oftime has been the ³trust and confidence´
that it enjoys of itsstakeholders. Notwithstanding the unprecedented turbulentconditions created by
the global economic meltdown duringthe years FY09 and FY10, the Bank¶s stakeholders
remained. firmly positive on the Bank¶s business and financialperformance. I am happy to share
with you that the Banktoo met the stakeholders¶ expectations in terms ofperformance,
transparency, corporate governance andintegrity in guidance during the last couple of years.
