National Australia Bank (NAB) reported a slight decrease in its first-quarter cash earnings, which fell by 2% to A$1.80 billion from A$1.84 billion the previous year, primarily due to higher impairment charges. Despite this, the bank's revenue increased by 1% to A$5.89 billion, driven by growth in its business and private banking sectors. NAB also noted a 1% rise in loans and a 2% increase in deposits. However, the bank set aside A$158 million for potential loan losses, up from A$119 million a year earlier, reflecting a cautious outlook on credit quality amidst economic uncertainties. NAB's CEO, Andrew Irvine, highlighted the bank's focus on supporting customers through economic challenges while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
