惠譽稱,跨境資金流動抵銷了香港銀行業獲利壓力。

-- 惠譽評級在近期發布的報告中指出,健康的跨國財富和資本流動緩解了香港銀行業近期的獲利壓力。 惠譽表示,由於資金流入增加,香港銀行業去年的財富管理費收入實現了兩位數成長,存款流入也保持穩健。 惠譽指出,儘管由於基數較高以及地緣政治風險(尤其是伊朗衝突)的影響,這一趨勢將在2026年持續,但成長可能會放緩。 惠譽表示,政策舉措和不斷增長的IPO活動幫助香港保持了其作為區域財富中心的地位,從而帶動了非居民銀行帳戶、經紀業務量和投資產品分銷的穩健增長。 惠譽表示,由此帶來的手續費和收入增長以及低成本存款的激增,抵消了貸款需求疲軟、淨息差下降以及因本地商業地產敞口而導致的信貸成本上升等盈利壓力。
