The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the country's biggest lender, yesterday reported a 31.2 percent jump in its 2006 profit, driven by strong growth in loans and intermediary services.

The bank said net income rose to 49.3 billion yuan from 37.6 billion yuan the previous year, based on international accounting standards.

Analysts in Hong Kong said the result is in line with market expectations. "It's a decent earning," said Castor Pang at Sun Hung Kai Financial Group.
