PSBank Q1 profit up 57% at $11mln

Lender sees surge in consumer loans to continue due to improved consumer confidence.

Listed company Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank)'s first quarter net income grew by more than half on the back of more consumer loans that pushed up its net interest and operating incomes.

The thrift bank arm of the Metrobank Group, PSBank posted a 57-percent net income growth to P475.43 million ($10.61 million) from the year-ago level, the company told the Philippine Stock Exchange.

Its interest income likewise grew by more than a tenth to P1.18 billion ($26.33 million), with post-interest income from loans reaching P1.37 billion ($30.56 million), eight percent higher than the 2009 figure.

"We are seeing a significant increase in consumer loan releases in the first quarter. Auto loans had a significant growth in demand partly aided from the impact of Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)," company President Pascual M. Garcia III said in a statement.

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.
