Banking sector poised for steady 2026 on credit growth, NIM expansion


KUALA LUMPUR: The banking sector is expected to appear steadfast in 2026 driven by sustained credit growth; net interest margin expansion; resilient non-interest income (NOII); and stable national clearing code (NCC), according to AmInvestment Bank Bhd. 

AmInvestment Bank said in a research note today that as a result, sector profit is projected to grow 4.9 per cent in 2026 versus 0.9 per cent in 2025, while return on equity (ROE) is expected to hold up well at a 9.5 per cent.
