Non-interest income from core businesses weakened by 4.7% (YoY) caused by a slower-than-expected recovery in bancassurance business following lower new business volume on the back of uneven economic recovery.
Moreover, the brokerage business slowed down following a significant decline in market trading volume amid volatile capital market. Meanwhile, asset management basic fee income increased along with a growth in assets under management.
