The Group also recorded a net profit of US$999 million in 2010, 21 per cent higher as compared to US$825 million achieved in 2009.

Non-interest income of the Public Bank Group which recorded a commendable growth of 19 per cent as compared to 2009, was supported by higher fee income generated by the Group’s unit trust and foreign exchange businesses.
