OCBC’s net profit jumped 11% to $993m in Q1

On back of higher income across the board.

OCBC today reported that its net profit grew 11% year-on-year to $993m in the first quarter, on back of strong growth in its customer-related businesses and a more diversified earnings base.

Net interest income increased 15% year-on-year to $1.25b, mainly from robust asset growth. Customer loans rose 20% year-on-year $210b.

Non-interest income rose 7% year-on-year to $859m. Fee and commission income increased 12% to $395 million from strong growth in wealth management, brokerage, fund management and trade fees.

The first quarter results included the consolidation of OCBC Wing Hang Bank, which became a subsidiary in the third quarter of 2014.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
