Philippines’ China Bank posts H1 profit of US$68 million

Up 46% year-on-year on better core operations.

China Banking Corporation or China Bank said its net income grew by US$21.4 million, lower than its goal of US$23 million. It posted a net income of US$46.7 million in the same period last year.

The bank said its strong income performance translates to a return on average equity of 13.24% and a return on assets of 1.81%.

Gross revenues improved by 18% to US$235 million, driven by higher fee-based revenues.

Its net interest income rose 12% to US$10.2 million. Total gross loans grew 10.7% to US$4.4 billion, buoyed by increased commercial businesses and consumer loans.

Total deposits for the period January to June grew 22% to US$5.7 billion due to sustained growth in low-cost deposits that improved 35% to US$2.6 billion.

Non-performing loans fell 6%, improving the gross NPL ratio to 2.64% from 3.12%.

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.
