Sectors glittering with signs of improvement on the non-performing loans index include manufacturing; community, social and personal services; other sectors; construction; financial services; and electricity, gas, water and energy. Those maintaining the equilibrium have been the real estate, restaurants and hotels. Culprits on the index on the basis of going up have been two sectors – agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting; and wholesale and retail banking. All in all, the overall picture is that the trend is giving confidence to the banking sector. When all is said and done, when the picture on the wind of change has been painted, the sector must fasten its belt in cruising towards the direction of change. The leveraging point in the current model of doing business is speed. If we do not capitalize on the changes taking place in sectors that we deal with, we risk remaining behind and thus in the end becoming obsolete in the game where we once were grandmasters.
