This translated to a return on equity of 15.3% and a return on assets of 1.6%, Chinabank said in a disclosure to the stock exchange on Thursday.

Its financial statement was unavailable as of press time.

Chinabank said its core businesses posted “robust results” that boosted its revenues.

Net interest income grew by 15% year on year to P53.5 billion in the nine-month period.

This came as its interest income increased by 13% on the back of the continued growth in its earning assets. This offset the 9% rise in interest expenses.
