Bank of Hawaii Corp.’s earnings rose 4 percent in the fourth quarter amid strong loan growth and an improving state economy.

The state’s second-largest bank said today it had net income of $42.8 million, or 99 cents a share, compared with $41.2 million, or 94 cents a share, in the year-earlier period.

Loans jumped 14.2 percent during the period to $7.9 billion while deposits increased 4.9 percent to $13.3 billion.

“It was another good quarter driven primarily by continued growth in the Hawaii economy,” said Peter Ho, chairman, president and CEO of Bank of Hawaii. “For 2016 we’re looking for a largely similar result.”
