PNB Reports 22% Earnings Surge, Announces Executive Departures and Tech Push

Philippine National Bank (PNB) has announced significant changes and strategic shifts. The bank's earnings have surged by 22% to PHP 12.5 billion in the first semester. Meanwhile, two senior executives are set to depart in October, and the bank is exploring new technologies like Office 365 to boost revenue.

PNB's Bahrain Representative Office is set to close due to intense competition in the remittance business. The bank is also restructuring its internal operations. The strategy and sustainability group has been integrated into the office of the Chief Financial Officer. Furthermore, PNB is dissolving its consumer finance and enterprise services sectors, indicating a shift in focus.

PNB's earnings growth is a positive sign, but the departure of senior executives and the closure of the Bahrain office suggest a period of transition. The bank's exploration of data science and AI, along with its internal restructuring, signals a commitment to innovation and strategic planning, as it looks to become more like a US bank in its operations.
