Furthermore, net revenue was $3.7bn, an increase of 8% compared to the previous year. This was attributed to higher investment valuations and average market levels, and also deposit and loan growth. This was slightly offset by deposit margin compression.

“While we face a continued high level of complex geopolitical issues, global growth stabilised, albeit at a lower level, and resolution of some trade issues helped support client and market activity towards the end of the year.
