Islamic business delivered a healthy profit

 

Hong Leong Islamic Bank Berhad (HLISB), a subsidiary of Hong Leong Bank Berhad, posted a healthy net profit before tax and zakat of RM62.4 million in its inaugural year of operations as a full-fledged subsidiary.

 

The Islamic Bank operation is strategically supported by the established platform of the parent conventional bank. Through this arrangement, customers benefited from a complete financial offering of Islamic products and services and wealth management solutions.

 
Asset financing grew

 

For the year, HLISB's total assets grew by 11% to reach RM6.4 billion. The growth is attributed to higher Financing base recorded, which grew by 16% to reach RM3.9 billion. Deposits grew 17% to a base of RM 5.7 billion.

 

Asset quality remained sound with the non-performing financing (NPF) ratio at 1.2%, which is amongst the lowest in the industry.

 

The Bank's capital adequacy ratio stood at 14% against a minimum regulatory requirement of 8%.

 
Investment banking

 

Efforts to develop an Islamic Investment Banking franchise are well underway. Over the fiscal year, there has been meaningful progress in laying the infrastructure and foundation towards this new competence, particularly in the Debt Capital Markets (DCM) segment.

 
Takaful license

 

Bank Negara Malaysia on 30th January 2006 granted a takaful license to Hong Leong Bank (HLB), Hong Leong assurance (HLA) and Tokio Marine Asia Pte. Ltd (Tokio Marine) to form Hong Leong Tokio Marine Takaful Berhad (HLTMT). This together with HLISB will further strengthen our Islamic business model to offer a broader range of products and services.
