New Delhi: On Saturday UCO Bank celebrated platinum jubilee in style with “grand musical programme” attended by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. The minister, while addressing UCO Bank’s Platinum Jubilee event, said “the resilience of the banking system is under test”, with the sector facing severe challenges.
“It is extremely important for everyone, the government to do its own bit, Parliament to support the government in doing that job, the employees and management of banks to ensure that we restore the most important asset of the bank that is credibility. And that holds true to the banking system across the country,” Jaitley said.
