Yesterday, Pharmaniaga reported a net loss of RM607.32 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2022 (FY2022) against a net profit of RM172.15 million in the previous year.

The electric utility says despite the 16.5 per cent higher operating profit, earnings were lower due mainly to higher finance cost and tax expenses, including an additional tax in the form of Cukai Makmur totalling RM340.8 million for the year. 

Public Bank said the gross loans grew by RM18.9 billion or 5.3 per cent to RM376.9 billion as at Dec 31, 2022, from RM358.0 billion a year ago, mainly driven by growth in mortgage financing and hire purchase financing.
