By

-- 华侨银行(SGX:O39)已同意收购汇丰银行(HKG:0005)印尼分行的零售及财富管理业务。 根据周一发布的新闻稿,此次交易将通过其子公司PT Bank OCBC NISP Tbk执行,涉及汇丰印尼国际财富管理及卓越理财业务的资产和负债转移。 此次收购将使华侨银行在印尼的业务平台管理资产规模增加约66亿新元,客户数量增加33.6万。 该投资组合包括43亿新元的客户投资,涵盖共同基金、债券和保险;23亿新元的存款;以及约3亿新元的零售贷款。 交易总对价将基于交易完成时的净资产价值,并可能根据调整机制支付最高约4.8亿新元的溢价。 “此次在印尼的收购与我们‘特许经营转型’战略下的‘下一个前沿’战略非常契合,该战略旨在加强我们在印尼的业务,”华侨银行首席执行官陈德龙表示。 “印尼是一项长期投资,也是一个重要的增长市场,”他补充道。 陈德龙表示,该机构拥有23亿新元的存款基础,其中包括相当可观的低成本活期存款和储蓄存款(CASA),这为华侨银行提供了稳定的资金来源,并开拓了更多财富管理机遇。 该交易预计将于2027年第二季度完成,并将由内部资金支付,预计不会对华侨银行的净有形资产、每股收益或资本产生重大影响。 IWPB印尼公司在印尼设有26家分行,是该国最大的外资零售和财富管理平台之一。 交易完成后,华侨银行预计其印尼分行的资产管理规模将增长约25%,信用卡余额将增长超过150%,同时新增约1300名员工,以增强其财富管理能力。 此消息证实了彭博社4月中旬的一篇报道,该报道称华侨银行已成为此次资产竞购的领跑者。彭博社此前曾报道,新加坡星展集团(SGX:D05)和新加坡大华银行(SGX:U11)、马来西亚联昌国际集团(KLSE:CIMB)以及日本三井住友金融集团(TYO:8316)也参与了此次竞购。

RBA's Post-Meeting Tone More Hawkish Than Expected, Says ANZ

ANZ said the tone of the Reserve Bank of Australia's post-meeting statement was more hawkish than expected, with no clear opening to a pause in June despite the board noting it has "raised the cash rate three times," according to a Tuesday note by the bank.The bank said this does not necessarily mean another rate increase is a done deal, but shows the board's preference to keep its options open, adding that the subsequent press conference carried more of the "pause-related language" ANZ had expected in the policy statement.ANZ said its expectation remains that the board will pause in June, with the 5:4 vote cast in March suggesting a strong preference among certain board members for moves in Statement on Monetary Policy meetings.By August, without a swift resolution to the Middle East conflict and a resumption of oil flows, ANZ expects Australian activity data to look soft enough to keep the RBA on hold, though risks now appear more skewed toward a rate hike in August than before this meeting, given the ongoing focus on capacity pressures and the more hawkish tone, the bank added.ANZ said RBA staff appear to be anticipating a 1% trimmed mean inflation outcome in the second quarter compared with the first quarter, which would make it difficult for the board to hold rates steady in August in the absence of soft activity data.ANZ said it forecasts a slightly lower trimmed mean outcome and sees risks to the RBA's second-quarter unemployment rate forecast skewed toward a higher reading, it added.

Australian Household Spending Up 1.6% in March Amid Middle East Oil Shock

Australian household spending surged in March at its quickest pace in two years, driven by soaring oil prices from the Middle East conflict.Seasonally adjusted household spending climbed 1.6% month on month, a sharp acceleration from the previous month's 0.3% uptick, although slightly below the 1.8% growth forecast by markets, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Tuesday."Household spending rose strongly in March, driven by a 5.1% rise in transport costs as fuel prices climbed in response to the conflict in the Middle East," ABS head of business statistics Tom Lay said.Fuel costs peaked in late March after conflict in Iran disrupted global oil markets, particularly through the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.This surge also pushed up public transit usage as commuters avoided driving private vehicles, while food spending rose 1.7% due to consumers stockpiling goods over supply chain fears.Commonwealth Bank senior economist Ashwin Clarke noted that higher fuel costs should trigger an easing in spending growth later this year."We do expect a further easing in spending growth over the course of the year," Clarke said. "The expected slowing in household consumption is needed for the economy to slow and move closer to balance."ANZ analysts shared the cautious outlook, with economist Aaron Luk and head of Australian economics Adam Boyton saying that "Despite a relatively solid outcome for the first quarter of the year, we continue to anticipate a softer pace of spending growth ahead."Some analysts believe the central bank has room to combat inflation because household spending has remained resilient despite the oil shock.Capital Economics said the Reserve Bank of Australia will have no "major qualms about tightening policy further," as household spending is "holding up well in the face of the oil price shock", Bloomberg News reported.The RBA on Tuesday raised the official cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.35% amid higher inflation, reacting to inflationary pressures stoked by the Iran conflict.
