KKP reported a net profit of 2,033 million baht in 2Q22, increased 50.14% from a net profit of 1,354 million baht in 2Q21.

Net interest income for 2Q22 rose by 18.0% YoY from continued loan expansions in high quality assets with YTD loan growth as of the end of 2Q22 at 9.7%. Meanwhile, non-interest income declined as a result of uncertainties in the capital market with Kiatnakin Phatra Securities’s market share1 continued to rank at the number one position with market share of 18.18%.
KKP recorded total expected credit losses for 2Q22 at Baht 812 million, lowered when compared to the amount for 2Q21, reflecting manageable asset quality with total allowance for expected credit losses to total NPLs ratio (coverage ratio) remaining at a high level of 169.1%.
