Asset quality improved, with the non-performing loan ratio declining to 0.81%, but all three capital adequacy ratios fell as the bank expanded. The bank also used the Su Super League football-event brand to develop retail finance and cultural-tourism services. Its 2025 annual shareholders' meeting authorized the board to determine the 2026 interim dividend plan, which will be announced separately.
