On August 20, at the 2026 semi-annual results briefing for Bank Of Nanjing Co.,Ltd., the head of the financial investment division provided an update on the bank's market operations. The official noted that this year, the macroeconomic environment has been recovering steadily, while financial market volatility has become a recurring feature. In response, the bank's financial markets segment has adhered to a principle of "seeking progress while maintaining stability, and enhancing quality while ensuring stability," closely aligning with policy direction and market rhythm. The division has balanced risk control with yield enhancement, continuously refining its business structure and reinforcing its profitability base.
On one front, the bank has fortified its core holdings by strategically building positions when yields are favorable, dynamically adjusting the maturity structure and asset class mix. It has also closely monitored yield curve movements and spread variations to execute flexible tactical trading. By optimizing the allocation across the three-tier classification of financial investments, the bank has achieved an improved structure, stronger performance, and increased revenue. On another front, it has methodically expanded into custody, precious metals, foreign exchange, derivatives, and cross-border operations, diversifying its income streams. The overall business segment has effectively balanced liquidity, security, and profitability, aiming to broaden and deepen comprehensive returns.
Looking ahead, the division head indicated that with bond yields persisting in low, narrow-band fluctuations, growth in investment income will increasingly depend on refined tactical trading and stable coupon accumulation. As a result, the pace of growth is expected to moderate, with the contribution to overall performance shifting from high volatility to a more normalized trajectory. In terms of earnings composition, the share of non-interest income is projected to decline, while interest income is set to grow steadily, making the structure more resilient. The segment intends to leverage diversified profit-generation initiatives to forge new growth drivers and sustain a favorable operational trajectory.
