According to a quarterly report released by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Hong Kong banking sector stayed resilient with strong capital and liquidity positions. Despite a slight increase in the classified loan ratio in 3Q25, the banking sector's asset quality remained manageable.

Regarding profitability, the aggregate pre-tax operating profit of retail banks increased by 11.9% YoY in 1-3Q25. This was mainly attributable to increases in income from fees and commissions and net interest income. Retail banks' NIM narrowed to 1.47% in 1-3Q25 from 1.5% in the same period last year.
