The company also strengthened its capital position, with the Tier 1 capital ratio improving to 13.5%. Despite some sequential declines in revenue from areas like securities lending and foreign exchange, driven by market conditions such as narrower spreads and lower volatility, the overall financial performance remained robust, underpinned by strong fee-based revenues and effective cost management.
