Maybank Singapore’s profit before tax doubles to S$655.92m in 2022

This was reportedly thanks to higher income and lower loan loss allowances.

Maybank Singapore’s full year profit before tax doubled to S$655.92m in 2022, according to the bank’s latest financial results announcement.

This is more than double its 2021 PBT of S$324.92m.

Malaysia’s biggest bank by assets said that its profit rise was mainly thanks to higher income and lower loan loss allowances due to “significant” recoveries.

Non-interest income was also significantly higher by 51.5% at S$406.75m compared with S$268.44m a year earlier. 

Maybank attributed the rise of non-interest income to a boost in treasury fees as well as credit related fees & cards commission.

Loans expanded slightly by 0.5% year-on-year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
