The net profit growth was primarily driven by higher gross operating income mainly due to a rise in net special commission income. In addition, but to a lesser extent, income from FVSI financial instruments, exchange income and other operating income also drove the increase. These factors were partially offset by an increase in net losses on FVOCI debt instruments and lower gains on non-FVSI financial instruments.

Meanwhile, gross operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses as well as salaries and employee-related expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses and rent and premises-related expenses.
