OCBC net profit up 31% YoY to S$1.6b in Q3 2022

The company’s net interest income grew by 44% YoY.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) posted a 31% year-on-year increase in net profit to S$1.6b in 2022 as it saw a rise in net interest income on the back of improvement in net interest margin and continued loan growth.

In a statement, OCBC said its net interest income surged 44% YoY to around $2.1b, whilst its non-interest income slightly dipped by 4% to around $1.1b.

The company’s total income rose 23% to around $3.2b.

“We are pleased to have delivered a strong set of quarterly results. Net interest income grew on higher net interest margin and loan growth was sustained. While subdued customer investment activity impacted wealth fees, we continued to attract net new money inflows into our wealth management franchise,” said Group CEO Helen Wong.

Wong added that the company’s portfolio remained resilient and their investments boost franchise growth and productivity, and carry out operational efficiencies for positive results.

“Looking ahead, the global economic outlook is expected to be increasingly challenging. Backed by our strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to support our customers and capture opportunities as they arise,” she said.

Compared to the previous quarter, the net profit grew by 8%. For the first nine months, the net profit increased by 14% YoY to S$4.44b.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
