Standard Chartered PLC said Thursday that its profit fell 40% in 2020, as sharply higher credit impairments and weak interest rates hurt profitability in a pandemic-struck year.
The Asia-focused bank posted pretax underlying profit of $2.51 billion last year, compared with $4.17 billion in 2019.
Operating income fell 3% to $14.77 billion, with net interest income declining 11% to $6.88 billion.
The lower interest income was mainly due to a narrower net interest margin, which fell 0.31 percentage point to 1.31% in 2020.
The lender expects its overall income in 2021 to be similar to the previous year, as the low-interest-rate environment continues to weigh on its business.
However, the bank said it expects income to resume growth of 5%-7% annually from 2022, as the global economic recovery would be led by large Asian markets, where Standard Chartered makes two-thirds of its income.
