Consumer financing firms in South Korea saw their combined net profit jump 24.7 percent on-year in 2020, supported by a modest gain in interest income, data showed Tuesday.
The combined net profit of 112 credit-specialized financial firms stood at 2.56 trillion won ($2.27 billion) last year compared with a profit of 2.05 trillion won a year earlier, according to the data by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS).
Their interest income rose 2.9 percent on-year to 5.8 trillion won last year, the data showed.
Loan-loss provisions fell 2.2 percent on-year to 1.5 trillion won in 2020, according to the data.
The combined assets of those firms climbed 12 percent on-year to 181.1 trillion won at the end of last year, the data showed.
