    Goal to boost national presence, increase risk appetite of banks

  • Sitharaman stated the goal of this merger is to boost the national presence and risk appetite of public sector banks and to reduce lending fragmentation.

    The merger of PNB, OBC, and United Bank will create India's second-largest financial institution with a business worth Rs. 17.95 trillion.

    Meanwhile, Canara Bank and Syndicate Bank will make the fourth-largest bank, with Rs. 15.2 trillion worth.
