  • Strategic Investments Business maintained strong pe rformance

A reversal of provision for credit losses was recorded in 3Q as a result of the recovery of U.S. office loans

Profit attributable to owners of parent increased 34% year-on-year. The progress in the workout of U.S. office loans resulted in a reduction in the tax burden
