Growth of interest income was driven by the expansion of volumes of earning assets and by the increase of high yield products in interest earning assets.
As the table above demonstrates, average yield on loans declined in 2012. The average yield on total earning assets increased from 9.7% to 9.9%, however, because of faster growth of loans, especially retail loans that have the highest yields of all asset classes.
