東亞(00023.HK):今年香港業務淨利息收入料增加20億元
東亞(00023.HK)聯席行政總裁李民橋表示,市場預期美國會再加息兩至三次,各加0.25厘,而香港去年全年淨息差持續改善,即使1月HIBOR回落,但淨息差跌幅仍較輕微;他表示,相比去年下半年受美國加息影響,東亞去年上半年淨利息收入仍然較低,預料今年香港業務淨利息收入錄得可觀增長,目前料可增加20億元。
李民橋表示,東亞全年淨息差達1.65%,其中下半年則達1.89%,預料即使今年HIBOR下跌,東亞今年淨息差較去年會有改善,並維持於較高水平。
他表示,東亞在出售保險業務後,資本狀況處於健康水平,而普通股權一級資本比率(CET1)逾15.5%,未來會繼續執行其股份回購計劃,會從多項業務中尋求盈利增長,並增加股東派息。
在人手方面,李民橋表示,銀行去年整體人手減少了4.2%,但前線則增加2.8%,以應付與內地邊境重開後的需求,IT員工人手方面則增加10%,未來會繼續向這兩方面投放更多資源。(ca/u)
