FirstBank

The market shares of the Arab African International Bank have witnessed exceptional jumps over the past 3 years, amid strong competitive performance that enabled it to be the private sector bank operating in the Egyptian banking sector that has strengthened its market shares the most.

This growth, driven by the strengthening of its position in various banking activities, has established it as one of the most prominent private banking entities in terms of growth over the past three years.

According to the bank's independent financial statements, its share of assets rose to 3.94% of the total assets of the Egyptian banking sector by the end of March 2025, compared to 2.80% by the end of 2021, an increase of 1.14%.

The strong performance of the Arab African Bank in the asset market contributed to its rise from sixth to fourth place among the largest banks operating in the Egyptian banking market in terms of asset volume, during the past three years.

This progress did not stop at assets. In the deposit market, the bank was able to nearly double its share, rising from 2.49% at the end of 2021 to 4.49% by the end of March 2025, an increase of 2%, demonstrating the growing confidence of customers.

In the stock market, the bank achieved one of its strongest jumps, after its share reached 4.53% of total investments (securities) in the banking sector by the end of the first quarter of 2025, compared to 2.15% by the end of 2021.

As for its share in the financing market, it witnessed a slight decline to 2.26% of total banking sector loans by the end of March 2025, compared to 2.78% by the end of 2021. It is worth noting that this decline does not weaken the bank's overall image, but rather reflects its re-prioritization in light of a competitive environment and structural changes in demand for credit.

As the Egyptian banking market continues to develop and challenges increase, the Arab African International Bank is consolidating its position as one of the solid pillars of the sector, driven by an insightful strategic vision under the leadership of Tamer Waheed, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, and his assistant team.

Having strengthened its presence among the major players, the bank's eyes are turning to the future with confidence and ambition, in a rapidly transforming banking landscape, where preserving gains is no longer enough, but rather anticipating changes and contributing to shaping market features has become the essence of leadership and its sustainability.
