ANOTHER foreign business and finance publication has recognized BDO Unibank Inc.’s (BDO) leadership in the country’s banking sector, citing particularly its strong standing in assets, loans and deposits segments.

In a statement, the publication said, “The bank stands tallest for assets, loans, and deposits, possessing respective market shares of 17%, 20% and 18% in the first quarter of 2014”.
 

Asiamoney likewise highlighted BDO’s continued efforts to grow its branch network, expanding its branches by 7 percent in 2013 and adding more in the first quarter of 2014 to reach 822. “This enlarged presence helped it post P22.6 net income in 2013, 56% up year on year,” it said.
 

The publication earlier recognized BDO the Best Managed Company in the Philippines in its 25th Anniversary Special Edition that featured Asia’s list of Best of the Best Managed Companies.

BDO joined other prominent organizations that were adjudged based on performance, achievements and financial fundamentals. The barometer used by Asiamoney indicated that the Bank has been a consistent performer over the years.
