The bank also reported a 3.2 percent decrease
in total loans from THB1.2 trillion in 2008 to THB1.1 trillion.
Other highlights include a 9.5 percent rise in
annual fees and commissions, boosted by contributions from several
products and services including electronic transactions,
deposit-related services and bancassurance.
The bank attributed the increase in net profit
to maintaining a high level of liquidity, good loan quality and a
solid capital position.
“Throughout 2009 we concentrated on working
closely with our customers,” said bank chairman Chatri
Soponpanich.
