OCBC's non-performing loans ratio to rise to 1.5%

Troubles from the oil & gas segment are not yet over.

Banking giant OCBC may still feel the lingering impact from the oil & gas segment as its non-performing loans ratio is expected to rise to 1.5% at the end of the year.

According to RHB analyst Leng Seng Choon, NPL ratio for the group is expected to rise marginally over the future quarters.

"2Q17 total credit cost of 29bps was close to that of 1Q17’s 27bps. The NPL ratio of 1.3% was unchanged sequentially," the analyst said.

He furthered, "Management expects a stabilisation to happen for the oil & gas loan portfolio, but does not see recovery for this segment as yet, as crude oil price remains at a low of <USD50.00 per bbl."

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
