rivate lender Bank Panin booked Rp 707 billion (US$50.9 million) in net profit in the first quarter of 2018, up 6.6 percent year-on-year (yoy), driven by an increase in net interest income and provisions made for impairments.
The bank recorded total outstanding loans of Rp 141.15 trillion, up 6.7 percent yoy. Meanwhile, its third-party funds rose 1.1 percent yoy to Rp 147.32 trillion.
“The majority of the loan portfolio, 61 percent, came from commercial loans, while the remainder came from the corporate segment,” Bank Panin president director Herwidayatmo said in a statement on Friday.
