Taiwan's Hua Nan Fin to write off more bad debts
Reuters - 1 hour 45 minutes ago
TAIPEI, Nov 18 - Hua Nan Financial <2880.TW>, Taiwan's No.8 financial holding company, said on Tuesday it would write down an additional T$2.48 billion- worth of bad loans as the global financial crisis escalated.
Financial companies in Taiwan, Asia's fourth largest banking sector, have written down billions of dollars of bad debts after some of them were exposed to products related to the collapsed Lehman Brothers <LEHMQ.PK>.
"We tend to be more conservative because of the global financial storm," Hua Nan President Lee Cheng-yi told investors in a meeting.
State-run Hua Nan will write off the bad loans in the fourth quarter of this year, adding its total amount of write-downs to T$5 billion for the full year.
Hua Nan had posted a net profit of T$8.876 billion from January to September, up 29 percent from the year-ago period. Shares of Hua Nan rose 1 percent on Tuesday, while the broader market <.TWII> dropped 3 percent to end at a five-year low.
