RESTORATION & STABILITY Emphasis on an improved control environment Increased focus on financial sustainability Business stabilization Balance sheet growth Operational efficiencies
DISTRESSED BANK, PLAGUED BY COLLAPSED GOVERNANCE Lack of adherence to the mandate of the Bank Poor decision making resulting in equity losses Investment in non-agricultural start-up businesses No clear funding and financial stability model Increase in non-performing loans and cost of credit Uncompetitive operating model Lack of control systems, credit policies and risk management policies Mismanagement and forensic investigations

IntroductionHistorical Context (cont)
• During the period 2009 -2013, the Bank achieved success in terms of Clean Up and Stabilisation
• Despite the successful turnaround, Land Bank however, still had observable challenges & shortcomings that needed to be addressed
• In summary, these issues are: Falling short on business growth opportunities Limited financing to the developmental sector
Organisational structure has duplication & conflicting roles
High levels of customer complaints Inordinately long transaction turnaround times Retail channel sub-optimal in new business generation Credit processes ineffective & poor in response
Progressive deterioration in capital adequacy Debt portfolio maturity structure, liquidity pressures Cost structure unsustainable, especially HR costs Wholesale lending through SLA’s characterized by squeezed margins
