The profit rise was fueled by a 0.1% rise in net special commission income, primarily due to an increase in gross financing and investment returns.
The lender also posted higher gross operating income and an increase in fair value through statement of income, fee income from banking services, and net special commission income. However, this was offset by a decrease in gains on disposals of fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) debt securities and exchange income.
Total operating expenses increased by 0.8%, primarily due to an increase in other general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, salaries employee-related expenses, provisions for credit, and other losses, which were offset by a decrease in rent and premises related expenses.
In addition, net impairment charges for financing and other financial assets slightly increased by 0.9%.
