FOR the second time in a row, Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. (Metrobank) was named The Strongest Bank in the Philippines by The Asian Banker.

The bank continued to outperform its peers in the country in terms of capitalization and liquidity. Its tier 1 capital ratio, total capital adequacy ratio, and liquid assets to total deposits and borrowings ratio remained high. Moreover, the bank grew its low-cost CASA (current account savings account) deposits, reflecting its solid deposit franchise. Meanwhile, with its prudent management of credit risk, the bank demonstrated stronger asset quality than its peer banks in the country," said Asian Banker in its citation for choosing Metrobank as the Philippines' strongest bank by balance sheet for 2022.
