In the fourth quarter, the single quarter revenue was 2.73 billion yuan (+ 11.8%), and the net profit attributable to the parent company was 640 million yuan (+ 37.2%). The high increase in net profit in 2021 is mainly due to the reduction of provision after the improvement of asset quality.

In 2021, the company’s net income from handling fees and commissions increased by 29.4%, and other non interest income increased by 9.5%, of which the single quarter in the fourth quarter increased by 53.5% and 49.2% respectively.

In 2021, the company’s loan yield decreased by 49bps year-on-year under the guidance of the profit transfer policy, but the deposit interest payment rate only decreased slightly by 9bps, which is mainly due to the increase of deposit pressure in 2021, which further reflects the prominent problem of rigidity of deposit cost.

Among them, personal loans increased by 17.7%, and the proportion in total loans increased by 1.6 percentage points to 37.5% compared with the beginning of the year.
