Despite overall challenges in the banking sector, net interest income grew to CNY 137.8 billion (1% year-on-year growth). The net interest margin remained stable at 1.45%, which is crucial for maintaining profitability in a low-interest environment.
ABC has successfully maintained stable asset quality, with a non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of 1.32%, which is a slight decrease (0.01 percentage points) from the previous half-year. The bank's strong provisioning coverage ratio of over 800% reflects a solid buffer against potential defaults, indicating robust risk management practices in place. Management emphasized a proactive approach to maintaining this stability, particularly in the context of potential economic volatility.
The call highlighted an increase in personal loans, which reached an impressive CNY 8.75 trillion, growing by 10.9% annually. In terms of corporate financing, the balance stood at CNY 14.3 trillion. ABC is prioritizing loans in the rural revitalization sector, which has garnered attention and necessity, ensuring that they serve the rural economy effectively while also supporting strategic emerging industries.
ABC is committed to supporting the real economy by adapting its loan disbursement to meet the evolving needs of various sectors, including tech, green finance, and inclusive financial solutions. The bank aims to maintain a growth rate exceeding 20% in these emerging industries, consolidating its efforts to facilitate economic recovery and transition in line with national policies.
Looking ahead, management is optimistic about continuing economic recovery, driven by effective macroeconomic policies and increased market demand. ABC expects to stabilize its operational performance leading into Q4 of 2024 and beyond. The forecast suggests that maintaining key business focuses will allow for enhancing revenue quality and ensuring robust asset stability.
ABC continues to uphold a strong dividend payout strategy, maintaining a payout ratio of over 30%. The bank has cumulatively distributed CNY 815.2 billion in dividends, reflecting its commitment to returning value to shareholders. Despite recent adjustments that could dilute per-share dividends, management reassured that these decisions are made with long-term shareholder interests in mind, aiming for enhanced payouts over time.
Interest rates have shown fluctuations, with bank deposit rates decreasing recently, aiding in release from liability cost pressures. The ongoing adjustments to mortgage and loan rates are expected to impact net interest income. Management anticipates that any decrease in net interest spreads will be countered by strategic adjustments within their lending portfolio, thus ensuring a balanced financial outlook going into the following year.
ABC emphasizes a holistic approach to risk management that integrates business development with pre-emptive risk mitigation measures. They are actively refining their credit assessment models and enhancing customer vetting processes to minimize exposure to defaults. The focus remains on evolving these measures alongside changing market conditions to safeguard asset quality.

And now 1.32% dropped by 0.01 percentage points. The mentioned loan 1.45%. The forecast risk indicators are stable and the provisioning coverage ratio is about [ 3% ].
[Operator Instructions] Now we may come to the first question?
My name is [ Jon ] Strategic Securities. First, congratulations. You have mentioned that the operating profit is down. I would like to ask the trend of the profits. How about Q4 and the whole year from the previous year, we have seen that ABC has shown quite strong competitiveness. Could you please elaborate on this?
Thank you for your question. Mr. [indiscernible] from the financial team department will answer the question.
Thank you for your question. For the first 3 quarters and ABC continue to improve its ability to serve the rural economy and the overall performance was astound. And we have maintained the general stability of the asset quality. The main financial indicators have improved generally and net profit has increased by 3.6% and the growth fee still the peers net interest spread 1.45% and provision coverage ratio is still above over 800%. So we have a strong cushion to defuse risk. This has made a solid foundation for this year's performance in Q4. And next year, as looking forward into Q4 and 2025, with the macro control, increment policy has shown its effect. The economic recovery will be consolidated. The market demand will continue to increase. This will create [indiscernible] environment for the operation of the banks through given the LPR continued decline and existent mortgage rate adjustments and also ABC actively yield profits to the real economy.
These policies may increase the market volatility, the operating profits continue to increase, but still face a certain degree of pressure. We still think focus on the key businesses, and continue to increase the revenue and increase the quality of the assets and maintain the stability of the assets, we have strived to work hard to realize that in the whole year, we will achieve the stability of operating performance. We'll constantly optimize the structure of the asset and maintain stability of the asset increase in the first 3 quarters and the share of the real economy financing still increase.
And in the next, we'll continue to focus on the main businesses and responsibilities improve the key areas, such as standalone area and the tech financing and will constantly serve the real economy. At the same time, we will strengthen the foundations set up by the customers and control the cost and have better pricing and so as to reduce the net interest rate volatility to note, the interest income.
Second, we have increased the non-interest rate, interest income, we have narrow decline margin of the other fees and Q-on-Q compared with the Stage 1, the drop margins is narrowing with the effect of the policy is the opportunity of multi recovery or will continue to grasp the potential of the market and also keep the other noninterest income stable, will also follow the domestic and international macro environment changes and since the sound opportunities and optimize the portfolios also increased at the noninterest income to remain -- keep the asset quality stable and reduce the credit costs in the 3 quarters to provision coverage ratio is still high, and we still have the strong ability to reduce risk, and we will continue to strengthen the risk control and keeping the asset quality stable.
Please welcome the friends from the telephone to ask questions. And also, the question will be ordered by the time of your application. Let's connect to the first questioner. Please ask questions.
I'd like to ask you when it comes to the interest rate trend. We have seen recently, there are lots of interest rate adjustments in September, the mortgage rate repricing. Of course, the PBOC's press conference has mentioned that the liability of the banks can maintain our corresponding adjustment. I'd like to ask you. When it comes to the interest rate spreads. In the new policies, what is the expectation of the interest spread. What's your prediction in the net interest spread has narrowed when reaching the bottom and please ask Mr. Wang from the Assets and Liability department to answer the question.
I would like to thank you and you just raised a quite good question. Just as -- the Secretary of the Board mentioned in the first 3 quarters, the net interest spread 1.5%, as in the same with the last our H1, we have implemented the deployment of the City Central Committee, especially recently, the Police -- Central Police Bureau has issued relevant documents till launched anticyclical interest rate adjustment. And we have reduced the existing mortgage ratio rate and compounded by LPR decline, our net interest spread will be maintained steadily in the asset side, we will strengthen the support to the real economy and reduce the general financing cost of the society consider October's existing mortgage rate adjustment, the interest income will still face pressure.
It is expected the asset ratio interest rates will be under pressure in terms of liability. With July and October, CNY deposit rate has been reduced, and the efficacy of the policy has been released and the effect has result used by 90 bps, so the liability cost pressure will be released. And from the October package policies deposit loan interest rate effects will be offset each other. So it will have a limited impact on the net interest spread.
Next year, when the financial sector will yield profit to the real economy, our income will under pressure let me consider the following factors: one, on the liability side, this year's 3x of the LPR reduction will promote the existing mortgage repricing, so the interest rates will be manifesting next year. The interest spread will also go down. Deposit cost pressure will be eased and deposit interest rates will continue to go down. If we consider the deposit interest rates it may offset the deposit interest decline.
Now next, please welcome the speaker or the questioner from the scene.
I'd like to ask you a question related to the asset quality. Could you please look forward to the asset quality in the future? Also from the corporate and retail. And so what are the areas the most prone for the NPA?
Thank you for your question. The credit management department, Mr. Wang will answer this question.
Thank you for your question. So I'd like to release the information on ABC's asset quality because ABC has always prioritized the prevention of the risks and keep to the bottom line of the credit risk and the asset quality has been steadily recovered. So the NPL is 1.32%. And down 0.01 percentage points compared with H1. As the forward-looking default ratio has been maintained low among peers and our expected [ Cesar ] margin has reflected the foundation of the assets. So among the major state-owned banks, this ratio is -- we have been the only bank that has maintained the positive ratio from these indicators, ABC's asset quality is kept steadily.
So looking forward, we expect that the asset quality will be stable from external factors, China's policy stabilizing expectation growth, and this has been showing its effects. And we -- our economy has been recovered. With the introduction of the package policies, it will provide a more favorable environment for us, especially the real estate market has stopped to decline and recover and also for the government debt, a package of fiscal policy support has also eased the debt pressure of the development.
So externally, we have a sound policy environment internally, we always serve the real economy and constantly optimize the credit structure, accelerate the economic transformation, and we have consolidated the asset quality in terms of credit risk management we have strengthened real estate and local government risk diffusion. In terms of the credit management, we have improved digital management capacity. Our digital centers have established lots of models, and we have also collected lots of clues, and we can have the caution early warning of the risks. Therefore, the credit risk management has been forward-looking.
So from the forward-looking indicators such as the [indiscernible] margin, we have maintained a sound level among peers, our asset quality reflected in NPL has been maintained a sound level.

So with the economic growth under pressure, how do you view the current credit disbursement situation? So what is -- what are the major priority areas for the credit disbursements?
Mr. Wang from the Credit Management Department will answer this question.
What comes to the credit disbursement for ABC, it is mainly focused on 3 areas. First, [indiscernible] business and County area business maintained growth, by September, the balance reached CNY 9.72 trillion, accounting for 40% of the domestic loans or increments of [ 956.3% ] up 10.3% Y-o-Y in the rural vitalization development and it has maintained fast growth in the accuracy and the coverage of the county financial services have been increased, and we serve the 5 priorities, the support for the key areas has been increased in tech and strategic emerging industries alone, growth rate has exceeded 20%.

The third area is the personal loan area, it is leading the peer. It has newly added CNY 691.8 billion. The increased speed has -- was higher Y-o-Y. And the margin as well as the growth speed around the first years. So the macro policies effect has been showing our economy has continued to be recovered.

Fifth, we'll implement the policies should support the real economy and continue to support SMEs and constantly strengthen the inclusive finance services. And these are the -- our efforts, the credit demand will continue to be recovered steadily.
Thank you for your answer. Next speaker from the scene. Next questioner, please.
I care about the investment issue because -- so my question, can you please introduce the strategies for the investment -- and can you please look forward to the investment return?
So [indiscernible] will answer this question.
Thank you for the question. Since the start of this year, the bond market investment has been in decline and 10-year bond market has dropped by 40 bps compared with the start of the year. As for the bond investment, we conscientiously implement the central financial work conference and Central Economic Work Conference and third plenary recession centers. And we maintain pursuing steady growth. So we'll constantly give [indiscernible] of these SLEs in the bond divestment has 3 features, we have lost the market trend according to the asset allocation strategies. We have also considered needs of investment and we have also seized the opportunity of the high interest rate up bond.
Second, we coordinated the categories and duration and account structure of the bonds and coordinated comprehensive yield requirements. We have been increasing our investment in the bond in the tax-free bonds, the real and local economic growth. The third picture goes like this. We still serve -- actually serve the economic development strategies and serve 5 priorities. We actively support modernized system, strategic emerging industry and financing support the rural revitalization inclusive finance development. ABC has comprehensively considered the asset liability structure and the need to serve the real economy, we have also adjusted our duration, generally, which is higher than market average. In the downward pressure, investment in return has been sound from the whole year, the return has been sound, which is higher than the market average.
I would like to ask you the consumption loans. Our content has increased a lot of policies. I would like to ask you for the financial loan and consumption what have the trends of these loans? Are there any increase of the NPL ratio? And how do you control and manage the relevant risks?
Mr. Joe will answer this question.
Thank you for your questioning. [indiscernible] attached great importance to the development of the personal and credit business especially this year, we have implemented the policy deployment of our country to boost the consumption by -- as of September, personal loan and personal loan balance, [ CNY 800.75 trillion ] up 8.5%. For the 5 years in a row, the gross margin speeds have been leading among peers in the consumption loan, we actively respond to our country's strategies and support the car utilities to using the old optics to replace the new objects by the end of September.
The personal consumption loan registered CNY 1.62 trillion, up CNY 666.8 billion, maintaining this in terms of the margin. We have disbursed [ CNY 84.48 trillion ], we have nearly disbursed the interest rates. That is a 18 bps lower than the H1, we faced lots of commercial and industrial users constantly optimize [indiscernible] increased our financing to the [indiscernible] frame and wholesale and retail industry. As of September, personal operation loan balance up CNY 68.6 billion. Cumulatively, we have dispensed of CNY 258 million newly disbursed rate ratio of 2.55%.
Just now Mr. Wang has mentioned the asset quality situation. I would like to add some of the personal loan situation by as of September, the NPL ratio percentage ratio of 0.88%. Asset quality is leading the [indiscernible], the personal consumption that still 1.32%. So from the perspective of the future development trend, our business departments judgment has been -- was the same with the credit department. The asset quality is generally controllable. And we will do the prevention control of the personal loan and for cost.
First, we uphold the business development and the risk control integration so the risk provision control has been incorporated into the adjustments, strengthen the risk control as a source or will also pay great attention to the risk control of before lending and also will prevent the illegal agents. We have established the personal credit model monitoring committee, we have also iterated models, so as to identify and dispose of the risks at an early time and also if the risk cannot be diffused, we'll stop the specialty business.
And also, we have improved the before lending tools to ensure the real mortgage and the field investigation. Also refuse to cooperate with the illegal agents. Third, we uphold the service driving and the tech fund driving we have innovated the management model before lending, in lending, and after landing. And in the personal management loan, we have introduced the external data also. In this assumption, we have introduced the Florence data. So currently, the effects have been sound. Fourth, we established the normalized risk management. We have utilized asset securitization methods and so on. And we have adopted multiple channels to diffuse the existing risks. This is my answer.
My name is Juan Shen from Huatai Securities. I'd like to answer your question related to the deposits we have seen in the past 1 year or 2 years, the deposit has met serious conditions. But in the Q3, the market has undergone great changes. I'd like to ask you for the loan trend. So what is your judgment and analysis in the future. Also for the citizens deposits. Also, I would like to ask you because in the past 2 years, there has been adjustment of the listed interest rate, so what is -- what is the effect of the repricing of the liability side? What is the reason of the repricing? And what is the effect on the liability side on ABC?
So Asset and Liability Management Department, Ms. Wang will answer the question.
I want to answer this question. In the recent years, the financial environment has been complex both on the growth and the resident and [indiscernible]. Companies favor the stable deposits, especially the time deposits. The time deposit has been up rising in recent years. This has increased the pressure of the net interest spread but at the same time, with the share of the time deposit increasing has increased the liability, made the liability stable.
So ABC's trend is in line with the industrial -- whole industry. The time deposit has currently as our economy continues to be consolidated [indiscernible] facilitating consumption, domestic demand policies have been strengthened, especially in recent years, a [indiscernible] incremental policy have been introduced. The market expectation has been changed gradually, which will facilitate the willingness of consumption that deposit we'll continue to consolidate the base of the savers and will enhance our capacity of their customer segmentation facilities as the demand deposit to be -- to turn to the time to policy constantly optimize the deposit structure.
When it comes to the interest rate reduction according to the deposit adjustment mechanism, you can refer to 10-year yield bonds, bond yield and considering your own conditions adjust the deposit interest situation. Our banks have got 2x reduced the deposit rates. Next, given the market condition as well as the strategies of our peers, optimize the deposit pricing strategies, consolidate the service of the real economy.
Time is limited or answer the last question. In October 23, we announced the notice soliciting questions from the investors, they focus on the capital and dividend payout country plan to increase the Tier 1 core capital for the 6 banks? And what is the latest trend of ABC? And also you will dilute the dividend per share, will it increase the dividend payout ratio in the future?
[indiscernible] will answer this question now.
Thank you for your caring and support of the ABC. Also, thank you for the question. When it comes to the capital remuneration according to the arrangement of the shareholders, we facilitate the capital supplement, and we actively communicate on this issue and discuss the core capital supplementation. ABC has considered the requirements of the shareholders. We have maintained a relatively high dividend payout ratio, which has been maintained at 30% or over 30%. We have cumulatively paid dividend of CNY 815.2 billion from the share interest rates. According to 2023, Asia and [indiscernible] share dividend payout ratio is about 4.8% and 6.9% and the same management in H1 announcement says we attach great importance to the dividend payout and before the spring festival, we'll complete the distribution of the dividend so that the shareholders may get the dividend when it comes to the refinance influence on the Dividend payout, indeed, in the short term, you dilute the dividend per share will adopt a package of measures to meet the gap of the dilution with the policies effects being released we will provide more long term and also abundant dividend payout. We wish you can continue to again support ABC.
Ladies and gentlemen, Agricultural Bank of China 2024 Q3 results announcement comes to an end.
