The higher turnover was largely due to the 25.8%
expansion in non-interest income. Regional Consumer Bank PBT expanded by 13.5%
Y-o-Y to RM1.672 billion. The star performer was once again Indonesia expanding
by 55.3% Y-o-Y from a combination of better margins in 9M12 and growth in
assets, partially offset by weaker currency translation.
Thai consumer operations however lost RM13 million due to
higher provisions and the retrospective implementation of a new deposit
insurance framework. The Group's regional Wholesale Banking PBT rose 24.5%
Y-o-Y to RM2.240 billion principally driven by the uptick in the Treasury &
Markets division PBT to RM1.116 billion from the strong flows in debt capital
markets and foreign exchange. Total non-Malaysian PBT to the group increased to
43% in 9MFY12 from 38% in 9MFY11.

Corporate loans increased 10.7% while retail loans and commercial banking loans
grew 8.9% and 11.0% respectively. Total Group deposits grew by 6.1% Y-o-Y Investment Banking PBT was lower by 27.0% Y-o-Y due to
lower income and initial costs related to the acquisition of selected APAC IB
businesses of The Royal Bank of Scotland.
The Group's CASA ratio increased slightly to 34.6% from
33.0% last year while overall net interest margin was marginally lower at 3.08%
from 3.12% last year. Total loan impairment of RM277 million in 9MFY12 was a
39.9% YOY. RWCR stood at 15.2% while its core capital ratio stood at 13.4% as
