Suncorp Metway raised its guidance for bad debt charges for the financial year to June 2009, as bad debts in the third quarter increased almost 26 per cent to $1.2 billion. Suncorp also said it was considering setting up a new non-operating holding company structure to more clearly delineate the operating businesses and allocation of capital within the group. Suncorp said impaired assets increased to $1.24 billion at March 2009 compared with $986 million at December 2008.Acting chief executive Chris Skilton said the Australian banking sector had continued to be affected by the deteriorating economy and declining property values.
