[SINGAPORE] OCBC has lowered its target net interest margin (NIM) for FY2025 to a range of 1.9 to 1.95 per cent, down five to 10 basis points (bps) from an earlier range of around 2 per cent.
During the second quarter, “reduction in loan yields outpaced the drop in deposit costs”, said OCBC group chief financial officer Goh Chin Yee on Friday (Aug 1).
She was speaking at the bank’s second-quarter results briefing for the three months ended Jun 30, for which OCBC – the first of Singapore’s three local lenders to report earnings – posted a 7 per cent year-on-year decline in net profit to S$1.82 billion.
