The Group's non-interest income decreased by 33.6 million Hong Kong dollars or 21.7% to 121 million Hong Kong dollars, mainly due to increased volatility in the peripheral market and a decline in the Hang Seng Index, leading to a cautious and conservative approach by customers in securities trading, resulting in decreased fee and commission income from wealth management services, stock brokerage, and securities management.
