HSBC Q3: Pressure on Revenues From Low Interest Rates; But Lower Provisions and Costs

HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC or the Group) reported net attributable profit of USD 1.4 billion in Q3 2020, down 54% Year-on-Year (YoY) largely driven by lower operating revenues, mainly net interest income showing the impact of lower interest rates. However, Q3 results improved sequentially from USD 192 million in Q2 2020 benefitting from significantly lower loan loss provisions and progress in cost reduction initiatives in the quarter.
