As a result of rising interest rates to control inflation, Standard Chartered posted a 6% profit increase for its first quarter, beating the forecast.

The London-based lender, which focuses on Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, now expects income growth to be slightly higher than earlier guidance of 5-7% this year, underscoring how the boost policy rate hikes are providing banks, even as the global economic outlook dims.

Following the earnings report, StanChart’s Hong Kong-listed shares rose more than 12% at one point, reaching their highest level since early March, while the market rose only 0.6%.
