During the reporting period, the Trade and Development Bank (TDB), one of the five systematically influential banks in the Mongolian banking system, earned a net profit of MNT 149 billion. The key driver was the increase in non-interest income which surged by MNT 136 billion. In addition, the total loan portfolio of TDB was up by MNT 155 billion from the previous quarter. The bank financed its loan portfolio by releasing the capital invested. In other words, the bank expanded its loan portfolio through effective asset management.
