SINGAPORE: Singapore's United Overseas Bank (UOB) expected a stronger outlook for next year including better loan and fees growth, as it reported on Thursday (Oct 26) a weaker-than-expected 1 per cent drop in third-quarter net profit from a year earlier.

UOB, Singapore's third-largest bank by assets, projected mid single-digit loan growth and double-digit fee growth for its 2024 outlook, versus low-to-mid single-digit loan growth and high single-digit fees growth for this year's outlook.

"The macroeconomic environment could remain bumpy," said Wee Ee Cheong, UOB's deputy chairman and CEO."However, we expect the ASEAN region to stay resilient. Consumer sentiments remain strong and rising investment flows into the region will bolster growth." "Our Citigroup integration is on track," Wee said."Integration for Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam is progressing as planned after we successfully migrated all Citigroup customers in Malaysia to our platform.", of 2.09 per cent for the third quarter, up from 1.95 per cent in the same period a year earlier.
