Malaysia's Maybank posts Q1 profit fall on lower income, higher expenses
Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank), Malaysia's largest lender by assets, recorded a 3.3% fall in net profit for the first quarter on Thursday due to lower net interest income, higher expenses and allowances for impairment losses on loans. Chairman Mohaiyani Shamsudin said the results were within expectations given a softer outlook consequent of ongoing global geo-political issues. Maybank said it expects Malaysia, one of the bank's three main markets in the region, to chart stable growth this year on rebounds in the mining and agriculture sectors, the central bank's interest rate cut and revival of major infrastructure and government development spending projects.

Associated PressNorth Korea's 'Singapore shops' expose gap in sanctions push
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Despite the unwanted publicity of a criminal trial for one of their main suppliers, business is booming at Pyongyang's 'Singapore shops,' which sell everything from Ukrainian vodka to brand-name knock-offs from China. The stores stock many of the very things United Nations' sanctions banning trade in luxury goods are intended to block and provide a nagging reminder that not all potential trade partners are lining up behind the U.N.'s pronouncements or the Trump administration's policy of maximum pressure on the North.
