Maybank said that the better results were driven by higher operating income on the back of improved regional economic activities and significant improvement in net impairment provisions.

Net operating income grew by 3.3% grew 3.3% to $5.75b (RM27.36b), led by a 38.3% increase in non-interest income (NOII) from gains in investment and trading income, foreign exchange, and higher core fees.

Costs rose 11.7% to $2.81b (RM13.39b) compared to a year earlier, driven by higher personnel costs, credit card related fees due to higher billings, asset depreciation, and IT-related costs.
