Hong Leong Financial Group Bhd's third-quarter net profit rose 70.19% to RM577.27 million from RM339.2 million a year earlier due to higher contributions from all of HLFG's operating divisions, comprising Hong Leong Bank Bhd, HLA Holdings Group and Hong Leong Capital Bhd, as the financial services group prudently managed its business risks against the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
