                    [Summary] => After recording a 38-percent growth in its net income last year, Planters Development Bank (Plantersbank) appears confident it would post its highest-ever annual net earnings this year.


In 2003, Plantersbank recorded a net income of P207 million or 38 percent better than the P150 million it recorded in 2002. 


This year, the country’s biggest development bank eyes net earnings to reach P270 million. "That should be the highest level of annual earnings for the bank," Plantersbank president and chief operating officer Ma. Flordelis F. Aguenza said.

The growth in assets was achieved despite a drop in the number of banking institutions – from 7,555 universal, commercial, thrift and rural banks in June last year, to 7,492 this year.


According to the supervisory reports and studies office (SRSO) of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the number of players dropped as a result of mergers, acquisitions, downgrading, downsizing, and repositioning.
