The profit surge was led by a 38.3 percent rise in net interest revenue, while the non-interest income also jumped 19.37 percent, the company said. The non-performing loans for last year totaled 9.68 billion yuan, 717 million yuan less than that for the year beginning.

The bank said its investment in the foreign-currency-denominated bond had incurred book losses of $215 million, which comprised 7.5 percent of its total investment in such bond. The bank said it had sold out all its holdings of the mortgage bonds issued by the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, while it still held $70 million of bond issued by the Lehman Brothers.
