Dividend Payouts - Several banks, including Minsheng, Citic, and regional banks like Ningbo, announced interim dividend payouts, reflecting confidence in their financial health [9]. Cost-Income Ratio - The average cost-income ratio increased modestly by 0.2 percentage points across banks, with some banks reporting improvements while others saw increases [21].
