ICBC鈥檚 net profit for H1 surges 5% to US$23.5b
Print Edition
Chinese banking giant ICBC, the world鈥檚 biggest bank by assets, posted solid profit growth for the first half of the year yesterday.
Net profit for Industrial & Commercial Bank of China climbed almost 5 percent to 160.4 billion yuan (US$23.5 billion) between January and June from the same period last year, the bank said in a statement to the Hong Kong exchange, where it is listed.
The country鈥檚 three other top banks posted similarly strong results this week.
China鈥檚 second largest lender, China Construction Bank, said earlier this week that its net profit grew 6.3 percent to 147 billion yuan.
Agricultural Bank of China reported a 6.6 percent jump to 115.8 billion yuan.
Bank of China said net profit added 5.2 percent to 109.1 billion yuan in the first half.
All of China鈥檚 four biggest banks saw profit growth largely flat-line in 2015 and 2016 as concerns grew over rising bad loans.
Earnings have improved since a government campaign to clean up bad loans and risky lending in China鈥檚 often chaotic and murky financial system last year.
The crackdown is seen as hitting smaller lenders and wealth management companies hardest, driving them to seek loans from the established banks in order to clean up their balance sheets.
But ICBC warned that the trade dispute with the United States could bring more risks for the bank in the future.
鈥淭he US-China trade frictions may in particular negatively affect multiple sectors, bringing more risks and disturbances to bank operations,鈥 ICBC said in the earnings report.
