截至去年底，本港商業地產貸款佔東亞貸款總額為11.5%，較去年同期下降2.2個百分點，金額為614億元，李民橋表示該行判斷約有7.5%貸款有較大風險，對商業地產貸款看法維持審慎，會密切監察情况並採取措施降低風險，特別是對風險較高、商業地產比例高的貸款。 總經理兼集團風險總監陳淑佩表示，截至去年底，本港商業地產貸款的不良貸款率為6%，即其餘94%仍然正常還款，而有抵押貸款佔整體貸款84%，抵押與貸款比率為53%。她指今年對地產商仍相當具挑戰性，不排除個別會因為資金問題被降級，不過地產抵押比率高，即使可有個別降級情况，撥備水平仍然可控。市場關注新世界發展（0017）信貸情况，她指該行為其客戶但敞口不大，對東亞沒有特別影響。 至於會否再壓縮本地地產商貸款比重，李民橋指地產貸款為銀行重業業務來源，地產企業實力不同，他們不會着重降低敞口，而是以還款能力高的企業貸款取代高風險貸款，不會排除續向地產商提供有抵押貸款。政府推動北部都會區開發，李民橋則指銀行絕對會支持有實力的公司發展，亦是很好機會。 聯席行政總裁李民斌則指，地產貸款有其周期，銀行會長線地進行業務，「不是樓市跌就甚麼都不做，樓市好時不斷追」，主要看公司實力、項目是否可行等因素。 去年內房貸款撥備佔比降至51%，李民斌指內房情况已經平穩，雖然仍有貸款被降級，但新增不良貸款已經減少，他認為今年情况可以穩定，至於會否有回撥則視乎內房市場發展。東亞內地貸款不良貸款率按年上升0.12個百分點至2.8%，李民斌指企業貸款大致平穩，該行繼續消化過去的不良貸款，相對零售貸款如網貸、信用卡不良率有上升，主要受市場和消費氣氛影響，不過他們去年已見惡化跡象而進行風險管理，至去年第四季已見平穩，展望情况可以穩定。 其他報道 騰訊理財通接入DeepSeek 推出金融AI助理 幣安高層與港警方商討加強合作打擊虛幣資產非法活動 ZA Bank建議增強Web3企業銀行服務支援及擴大可交易資產範圍 Trip.com：亞太旅客喜愛美食之旅 AI參與行程規劃 滬深三大指數午後個別走 滬指微跌0.02% 金價創新高 瑞銀料中國汽車全球銷量有望增至4000萬輛 FedEx 推出協作托運工具 進口商與寄件人共享空運提單建立流程 亞投行：公開發行40億元債券 超購1.25倍 中海外集團參與北都 成政府重要伙伴 續為港出力 澳新：人行表外操作增多 但不擴表或難以捍衛資產價格 半日沽空金額增11% 小米沽空增69% 恒指半日跌316點 科指見3個月最大跌幅 快手跌6% 北水流入少78% 聯想第三財季多賺逾倍 收入增兩成 東亞去年盈利增12%至46億 第二次中期股息多1.1倍派0.38元 微軟：推出全球首款拓撲導體晶片「Majorana 1」 渣打：協助亞投行發行首批40億港元可持續發展債券 滬深三大指數半日向下 滬指跌0.16% 國泰推限時機票優惠 最平1385元起 經濟艙優惠覆蓋台北/福岡/東京等航點 港元拆息普遍向下 1個月HIBOR轉跌 港元貶值 貨幣基礎1個月低 摩通：投資者應減持阿里等「極度超買」中國AI概念股 聯儲局Bostic：評估特朗普政策影響時應保持耐心 大摩：大量散戶資金湧入 對美股應該是一個警號 Source link
