+02002026-09-07T13:58:38+02:00Housing and Development Bank’s (HDB) retail banking business recorded strong growth in H1 2026, reflecting its firm commitment to excellence and meeting customers’ expectations amid an evolving economic environment.In retail lending, this was reflected in the development of smart financing solutions tailored to customers’ changing needs, supported by advanced digital platforms that streamlined financing procedures, helping broaden financial inclusion and improve customer satisfaction.According to the bank’s standalone financial statements, its retail loan portfolio rose by around 11.4 per cent in H1 2026 to EGP 36.69 billion at end-June 2026, compared with EGP 32.93 billion at end-2025.The growth was supported by an increase in personal loans to EGP 20.44 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 17.36 billion at end-2025, representing half-year growth of 17.7 per cent.Mortgage loans increased by around 3.3 per cent in the first half of this year to EGP 14.89 billion at end-June 2026, compared with EGP 14.42 billion at end-2025.Credit card balances rose to EGP 1.11 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 765.35 million at end-2025, representing growth of 44.9 per cent, while retail overdrafts stood at EGP 244.13 million at end-June.HDB’s retail segment accounted for around 45 per cent of the bank’s total loan portfolio, which increased to EGP 81.44 billion at end-June, from EGP 65.72 billion at end-2025, representing half-year growth of 23.9 per cent.On deposits, the bank attracted retail deposits through a balanced range of offerings combining security, flexibility and competitive returns, strengthening customer confidence and the sustainability of fund inflows while supporting the bank’s stability and sustainable growth.This was reflected in a roughly 9 per cent increase in retail deposits in H1 2026 to EGP 113.59 billion at end-June 2026, compared with EGP 104.25 billion at end-2025.The retail segment accounted for around 56.2 per cent of the bank’s total deposit portfolio, after HDB’s customer deposits rose to EGP 202.21 billion at end-June 2026, compared with EGP 179.13 billion at end-2025.HDB,deposits,Loans,Retail loan

fee and commission income this year, rising 39.7 per cent to around EGP 5.76 billion in H1 2026, compared with EGP 4.12 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.The strong performance pushed the

ranking.Alongside the growth in net fee and commission income, the bank delivered a strong performance in the first half of this year, recording net profit of EGP 39.24 billion in H1 2026, compared with EGP 33.41 billion in the same period of 2025, representing growth of 17.4 per cent and a total increase of EGP 5.83 billion.Profit before income tax rose to EGP 54.08 billion in H1 2026, compared

and North Africa MENA by customer deposits sawMon, 07 Sep 2026 12:02:00 +02002026-09-07T12:02:00+02:00First Bank’s ranking of the 100 largest banks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by customer deposits saw notable shifts among Egyptian banks in the first quarter of 2026, with seven of the eight banks included falling in position, while one maintained its ranking.This coincided with the exit of three Egyptian banks from the list, reducing the number of Egyptian banks represented in the ranking to eight, from eleven at end-2025.National Bank of Egypt (NBE) retained eighth place in the MENA region by customer deposits, which totalled USD 111.37bn at end-March 2026.By contrast, the remaining Egyptian banks moved down the ranking, as Banque Misr ranked 19th at end-March 2026, down two places from 17th at end-2025, as the value of its deposits in US dollar terms fell by around 9 per cent quarter-on-quarter to approximately USD 58.02bn, from USD 63.49bn at end-2025.Commercial International Bank – Egypt (CIB) also fell three places to 41st at end-March 2026, from 38th at end-2025, as the value of its deposits in US dollar terms declined by around 4 per cent during the first quarter of the year to approximately USD 22.19bn, from USD 23.17bn.Arab African International Bank (AAIB) dropped eight places to 56th at end-March 2026, from 48th at the end of last year, as the value of its deposits in US dollar terms fell by around 7 per cent during the first quarter of the year to approximately USD 13.42bn, from USD 14.40bn.The decline extended to Banque du Caire, which lost nine places to rank 78th at end-March 2026, from 69th at end-2025, as the value of its deposits in US dollar terms fell by around 7 per cent quarter-on-quarter to USD 7.86bn, from USD 8.41bn.Suez Canal Bank also fell nine places to 93rd at end-March 2026, from 84th at the end of last year, despite the value of its deposits in US dollar terms declining by only around 4 per cent to USD 4.20bn, from USD 4.38bn.Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt lost seven places to rank 95th at end-March 2026, from 87th at end-2025, as the value of its deposits in US dollar terms declined by around 3 per cent during the first quarter of the year to USD 3.97bn, from USD 4.09bn.Meanwhile, ALEXBANK fell six places to 96th at end-March 2026, from 90th at end-2025, as the value of its deposits in US dollar terms declined by around 5 per cent quarter-on-quarter to USD 3.69bn, from USD 3.89bn.These movements came as Egyptian banks continued to record notable growth in customer deposits in Egyptian pounds.However, the pound’s depreciation of around 4 per cent against the US dollar in the first quarter of 2026 reduced the US dollar value of deposits when converted from the local currency, putting pressure on banks’ positions in the regional ranking despite continued growth in their local-currency deposit portfolios.Accordingly, the decline in Egyptian banks’ positions in the ranking does not reflect a contraction in their domestic deposit base. Rather, it was partly driven by the accounting effect of exchange-rate movements on the US dollar value of deposits, as reflected in the first-quarter 2026 results.First Bank,Egyptian banks,Customer Deposits,MENA,100 largest bankshttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13342https://en.firstbankeg.com/13342Al Baraka, EBank lead EGX-listed banks by loan-to-deposit ratio at end-June 2026Al Baraka Bank topped First Banks ranking of the best Egyptian Exchange EGX-listed banks by loan-to-deposit raMon, 07 Sep 2026 11:28:12 +02002026-09-07T11:28:12+02:00<h3 data-id="Ytlnpb">From sixth to first, Al Baraka leads EGX-listed banks by loan-to-deposit ratio</h3><h3 data-id="bypa8t">EBank, Suez Canal Bank retain top-five spots from end-2025 to end-June 2026</h3><h3 data-id="c7iUMl">Islamic banks secure two top-five spots among three included in the ranking</h3>Al Baraka Bank topped First Bank’s ranking of the best Egyptian Exchange (EGX)-listed banks by loan-to-deposit ratio at end-June 2026, with a ratio of 65.21 per cent, rising from sixth place in the 2025 ranking and recording the largest climb in the classification.This shift reflects a higher proportion of deposits being channelled into loans, indicating an expanded role for financing activity in the use of customer deposits compared with the previous year.Al Baraka Bank’s customer loans reached around EGP 83.13bn at end-June 2026, compared with total customer deposits of EGP 127.48bn at the end of the same period.Export Development Bank of Egypt (EBank) ranked second, with a loan-to-deposit ratio of 60.59 per cent, after its customer loan portfolio reached around EGP 97.33bn, compared with EGP 160.62bn in customer deposits at end-June 2026.Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt (ADIB-Egypt) ranked third, with a loan-to-deposit ratio of 59.59 per cent, after its customer loan portfolio reached around EGP 198.23bn at end-June 2026, compared with EGP 332.67bn in customer deposits at the end of the same period.The ranking of the top three listed banks reflected a notable presence of Islamic banks, which secured two of the top three positions, representing two-thirds of the Islamic banks listed on the EGX.The ranking, which included all 12 banks listed on the EGX, showed a marginal decline in the loan-to-deposit ratio to 51.65 per cent at end-June 2026, from 51.75 per cent at end-2025.The composition of the top five showed clear changes compared with the 2025 ranking. Although two banks retained their places among the top five, both changed positions, with Export Development Bank of Egypt (EBank) moving up from third to second, while Suez Canal Bank fell from second to fifth.Meanwhile, three banks entered the top five compared with the 2025 ranking: Al Baraka Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt (ADIB-Egypt) and saib, while three banks dropped out, resulting in a clear reshuffling of the leading positions at end-June 2026 compared with the ranking at end-2025.All figures and loan-to-deposit ratios cited in the above analysis are based on the standalone financial statements announced by each bank at end-June 2026. <div class="embed"><table class="financial-table display" style="border-collapse:collapse !important;width:100%

reaps rewards of three years of development under Tamer WaheedArab African International Bank AAIB has undergone a marked shift in its growth trajectory since Tamer Waheed Sun, 06 Sep 2026 15:33:22 +02002026-09-06T15:33:22+02:00Arab African International Bank (AAIB) has undergone a marked shift in its growth trajectory since Tamer Waheed became Vice Chairman and Managing Director in May 2023, as the bank moved to broaden its core business, diversify growth drivers and strengthen operational, financial and risk-management capabilities.During this period, the bank advanced on several fronts in parallel, from strengthening its customer base and growing its main portfolios to expanding credit activity, reinforcing its capital base and improving asset quality and profitability indicators.The results of this strategy became more evident in H1 2026, as the bank’s assets exceeded EGP 1 trillion, while deposits and financing continued to grow at strong rates. At the same time, the NPL ratio fell to its lowest level in a decade, capital adequacy strengthened and the bank recorded the highest quarterly profit in its history.These results reflect more than an expansion in business volumes. They show broad-based improvement across key indicators, as the bank grew its operations while maintaining a strong financial position and improving the efficiency of asset and capital deployment.<h3 data-id="TZxDLd">Sustained expansion across core financial portfolios</h3>The bank’s total assets recorded notable growth during H1 2026, reaching EGP 1.04 trillion at end-June 2026, compared with EGP 955.24 billion at end-2025, representing growth of 9 per cent and an increase of more than EGP 82 billion in just six months.Customer deposits also maintained their upward trajectory, rising to EGP 739.98 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 687.08 billion at end-2025, representing growth of 8 per cent and an increase of EGP 52.90 billion.Deposit growth was supported by strong performance across customer segments. Retail deposits increased by 9 per cent during H1 2026 to EGP 324.49 billion at end-June, from EGP 296.89 billion at end-2025.Corporate deposits also increased to EGP 415.49 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 390.19 billion at end-2025, representing half-year growth of 6 per cent.On the credit side, the bank continued to expand its customer loan portfolio at a strong pace, rising to EGP 287.50 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 240.67 billion at end-2025, representing half-year growth of 19 per cent.Corporate loans were the main driver of this expansion, rising by around 19 per cent to EGP 250.32 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 209.72 billion at end-2025, including small loans for economic activities.At the same time, the retail loan portfolio recorded strong growth, increasing by 20 per cent during H1 2026 to EGP 37.18 billion at end-June, from EGP 30.96 billion at end-2025.This performance reflects continued expansion in the bank’s core business and credit activity, alongside strong growth in assets and deposits during H1 2026.<h3 data-id="9n2qGN">Strong improvement in financial soundness indicators</h3>The bank strengthened its financial soundness indicators during H1 2026, supported by improved credit portfolio quality and stronger solvency levels alongside continued business growth.The non-performing loan (NPL) ratio declined to 1.15 per cent at end-June 2026 from 2.1 per cent at end-2025, its lowest level in a decade, placing the bank among the five best banks in the Egyptian market in terms of NPL ratio.This improvement is particularly significant given the strong growth in the loan portfolio, reflecting the bank’s ability to expand credit activity while maintaining greater discipline in portfolio quality and risk management.At the capital level, the bank’s capital adequacy ratio stood at 18.50 per cent at end-June 2026, above the 12.5 per cent regulatory minimum set by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) under Basel requirements, providing a strong capital base to support continued growth and absorb potential risks.The leverage ratio also reached 12.54 per cent at end-June 2026, more than three times the minimum regulatory requirement of 3 per cent, reflecting the strength of the bank’s capital base and its ability to support asset growth while maintaining strong solvency levels.<h3 data-id="Cg8QfA">Strong growth in profitability and returns</h3>As the bank expanded its core business and strengthened asset quality, its financial performance also improved, with profitability rising strongly in H1 2026.The bank recorded net profit of EGP 10.25 billion during H1 2026, compared with EGP 8.09 billion in the corresponding period of 2025, representing growth of 27 per cent and an increase of EGP 2.16 billion.This marked the highest first-half profit in the bank’s history, reflecting strong financial performance during the first six months of the year and continued improvement in its ability to generate higher levels of profitability.The improvement extended to return indicators, with return on average equity rising to 14.08 per cent during H1 2026 from 12.09 per cent in the corresponding period of 2025, an increase of 1.99 percentage points.Return on average assets also increased to 2.06 per cent during H1 2026 from around 1.75 per cent in the same period a year earlier, an increase of 0.31 percentage point.<h3 data-id="VJUM5U">Global recognition of AAIB’s progress</h3>Alongside the strong financial performance recorded during H1 2026, AAIB received notable global recognition during the year through a series of awards covering several key areas of its banking activities.The bank was named Best Bank for Large Corporates in Egypt 2026 by Euromoney and Best Retail Bank – Egypt 2026 at MENA Banking Excellence Awards by MEED, recognising its performance across both corporate and retail banking.The awards also extended to customer experience, banking solutions and corporate social responsibility. World Business Outlook named AAIB Best Customer Experience in Banking, recognised it for Excellence in Corporate Financing Solutions, and awarded it Best CSR Initiative in Banking in Egypt 2026.The bank also received the Best Sustainable Bank and Best Investment Bank in Egypt 2026 awards from World Economic Magazine, extending its international recognition across several areas linked to its business model and diversified services.<h3 data-id="EAPci3">Years of development lay the foundation for a new phase</h3>AAIB’s H1 2026 results point to broad-based improvement across business activity, profitability, asset quality and solvency, providing a stronger foundation for the next phase of its strategy.The bank’s broader core business and strong financial position provide room for further growth, while maintaining asset quality and capital efficiency will remain key to translating that expansion into sustainable gains and strengthening its position in Egypt’s banking market.Arab African International Bank,AAIB,Growth,Tamer Waheed,bankhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13338https://en.firstbankeg.com/13338EBank strengthens solvency, leverage ratios in H1 2026Export Development Bank of Egypts EBank standalone financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2026 showSun, 06 Sep 2026 13:21:23 +02002026-09-06T13:21:23+02:00Export Development Bank of Egypt’s (EBank) standalone financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2026 showed that the bank’s capital adequacy ratio increased to 17.70 per cent at end-June 2026, from 17.17 per cent at end-2025.The capital adequacy ratio measures the bank’s capital components relative to its risk-weighted assets and contingent liabilities, reflecting the relationship between its capital base and the risks associated with its assets and other operations.It is also a measure of the bank’s solvency, or its ability to meet its obligations and absorb potential future losses, with the aim of protecting the bank, depositors and other creditors.<h3 data-id="rk3rez">EBank’s leverage ratio rises to 10.23% at end-June 2026</h3>The bank’s leverage ratio increased to 10.23 per cent at end-June 2026, from 9.47 per cent at end-2025.The leverage ratio reflects the relationship between Tier 1 capital used in the capital adequacy ratio, after deductions, and the bank’s on- and off-balance-sheet other assets without applying risk weights.The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital after deductions by total assets on- and off-balance-sheet without applying risk weights.The stronger leverage ratio came as total Tier 1 capital increased by 16.6 per cent to EGP 25.90 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 22.21 billion at end-2025.The increase in Tier 1 capital was supported by a 32.4 per cent rise in issued and paid-up capital to EGP 18 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 13.60 billion at end-2025.Meanwhile, total on- and off-balance-sheet exposures increased to EGP 253.28 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 234.61 billion at end-2025.Ebank,capital adequacy,leverage ratio,solvencyhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13337https://en.firstbankeg.com/13337CIB, QNB Egypt leads First Bank’s Credit Competitiveness Index for EGX-listed banks in H1 2026Commercial International Bank Egypt CIB topped First Banks ranking of Egyptian Exchange EGX-listed banks on thSun, 06 Sep 2026 11:45:30 +02002026-09-06T11:45:30+02:00<h3 data-id="lyAKnC">CIB retains the lead on First Bank’s Credit Competitiveness Index, reflecting sustained growth in customer loans ahead of its peers</h3><h3 data-id="b9Onyp">Four banks remain in the top five from 2025, with HDB the new entrant in H1 2026</h3><h3 data-id="Fy0luw">Customer loans at EGX-listed banks reaches EGP 2.05tn, up EGP 267.64bn</h3><h3 data-id="eiw2Gp">Islamic banks secure one top-five spot among three included in the ranking</h3>Commercial International Bank – Egypt (CIB) topped First Bank’s ranking of Egyptian Exchange (EGX)-listed banks on the First Bank Credit Competitiveness Index in H1 2026, supported by the largest increase in its customer loan portfolio.CIB’s customer loan portfolio increased by around EGP 89.94 billion during the first six months of the year to EGP 631.34 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 541.41 billion at end-2025.CIB retained the top position after also ranking first in 2025, reflecting its continued ability to deliver strong and sustained increases in customer loans ahead of its peers.QNB Egypt ranked second after adding around EGP 54.07 billion to its customer loan portfolio during H1 2026, taking the total to EGP 518.91 billion at end-June, from EGP 464.84 billion at end-2025.Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt (ADIB-Egypt) ranked third after its customer loan portfolio increased by EGP 43.36 billion during H1 2026 to EGP 198.23 billion at end-June, from EGP 154.87 billion at end-2025. This made it the only Islamic bank among the top five, out of three Islamic banks included in the ranking.The First Bank Credit Competitiveness Index tracked movements in customer loan portfolios across all 12 banks listed on the EGX, with all banks included in the ranking recording increases in their loan portfolios during H1 2026.The First Bank Credit Competitiveness Index measures banks’ ability to expand credit activity by increasing financing extended to retail and corporate customers. Banks are ranked by the absolute increase in total customer financing during the period under review.The index results show notable growth in combined customer loan portfolios at EGX-listed banks, which exceeded EGP 2 trillion for the first time at end-June 2026, reaching EGP 2.05 trillion from EGP 1.78 trillion at end-2025, an increase of EGP 267.64 billion.The ranking showed considerable stability at the top, with four banks retaining positions among the top five in H1 2026 compared with the 2025 ranking. The only change was Housing and Development Bank (HDB) moving into the top five, replacing one bank.CIB, QNB Egypt and ADIB-Egypt retained the top three positions, respectively, unchanged from the 2025 ranking.HDB moved up to fourth place in H1 2026 from 10th in the 2025 ranking, making it the biggest mover among the top five during the period.Suez Canal Bank, meanwhile, slipped to fifth place

the only Palestinian lender to make First Banks ranking of the 100 largest Arab banks atSun, 06 Sep 2026 10:19:36 +02002026-09-06T10:19:36+02:00Bank of Palestine was the only Palestinian lender to make First Bank’s ranking of the 100 largest Arab banks at end-March 2026, placing 71st with total assets of USD 10.90 billion, up 2.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter from USD 10.65 billion at end-2025.Despite the relatively limited weight of the Palestinian banking sector compared with the largest Arab banks, several Palestinian banks secured relatively strong positions outside the top 100, with most improving their rankings during Q1 2026, supported by asset growth.Arab Islamic Bank moved up two places to 111th at end-March 2026, from 113th at end-2025, alongside quarter-on-quarter asset growth of around 1.8 per cent to USD 1.98 billion, from USD 1.94 billion.Palestine Islamic Bank also moved up one place to 113th at end-March, from 114th at end-2025, after its assets increased by around 1.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter to USD 1.82 billion, compared with USD 1.78 billion.Quds Bank advanced one place to 114th, from 115th at end-2025, supported by asset growth of around 5.5 per cent during Q1 2026 to USD 1.76 billion, from USD 1.67 billion.Similarly, The National Bank moved up one place to 115th, from 116th at end-2025, despite a decline of around 2.8 per cent in its assets during the first three months of 2026 to USD 1.44 billion, from USD 1.48 billion.Palestine Investment Bank also rose one place to 117th at end-March 2026, from 118th at end-2025, with its assets edging up 0.77 per cent quarter-on-quarter to USD 890 million, from USD 883 million.Safa Bank advanced one place to 122nd at end-March, from 123rd at end-2025, despite a marginal decline of around 0.98 per cent in its assets to USD 366 million, from USD 370 million.Turning to H1 2026 results, the picture appears more positive in terms of asset growth, with all Palestinian banks covered by the analysis recording increases in their asset bases during the period, indicating continued expansion in the sector despite the challenges facing the local market.Quds Bank led Palestinian banks in asset growth during H1 2026, with its assets rising by around 14.3 per cent to USD 1.91 billion at end-June 2026, making it the fastest-growing bank by assets among the Palestinian banks covered by the analysis.Bank of Palestine also recorded asset growth of 8.8 per cent during H1 2026, taking its total assets to USD 11.59 billion at end-June 2026, reinforcing its position as the largest Palestinian bank by assets and maintaining a wide gap over other local banks.Palestine Islamic Bank’s assets increased by around 7.6 per cent over the same period to USD 1.92 billion, while Arab Islamic Bank recorded growth of 7.5 per cent, taking its assets to USD 2.09 billion at end-June 2026.The National Bank’s assets also grew by around 6.4 per cent during H1 2026 to USD 1.57 billion, while Palestine Investment Bank’s assets rose by around 5.4 per cent to USD 931 million at end-June.Safa Bank also recorded asset growth of around 2.2 per cent during the first half of the year, reaching USD 378 million at end-June 2026.These developments highlight a clear contrast in the Palestinian banking sector. While only one Palestinian bank ranks among the 100 largest Arab banks, most continue to expand their asset bases and improve their regional positions.However, this growth will need to be sustained over several periods before it materially reshapes their standing in the Arab banking rankings, given the wide asset gap with the region’s largest banks.First Bank,assets,largest Arab banks,Palestinian banks,Palestinianhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13335https://en.firstbankeg.com/13335CIB tops EGX-listed banks on First Bank’s Depositor Confidence Index in H1 2026Commercial International Bank Egypt CIB recorded strong growth in customer deposits during 2026, with the balaThu, 03 Sep 2026 16:12:15 +02002026-09-03T16:12:15+02:00Commercial International Bank – Egypt (CIB) recorded strong growth in customer deposits during 2026, with the balance increasing by around EGP 198.44 billion in the first six months of the year to EGP 1.30 trillion at end-June, from EGP 1.11 trillion at end-2025.This performance placed CIB at the top of First Bank’s Depositor Confidence Index for Egyptian Exchange (EGX)-listed banks in H1 2026.Overall, CIB delivered a strong performance during the year, with net profit rising to EGP 39.24 billion in H1 2026, from EGP 33.41 billion in the same period of 2025, representing growth of 17.4 per cent and an increase of EGP 5.83 billion.Profit before income tax increased to EGP 54.08 billion in H1 2026, from EGP 46.40 billion in the same period of 2025, representing growth of 16.6 per cent.Net interest income rose by around 18.2 per cent to EGP 60.48 billion in H1 2026, from EGP 51.15 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.Net fee and commission income jumped to EGP 5.76 billion in the first six months of 2026, from EGP 4.12 billion in the same period of 2025, representing growth of 39.7 per cent.In terms of financial position, total assets increased to EGP 1.68 trillion at end-June 2026, from EGP 1.44 trillion at end-2025, representing half-year growth of 17.1 per cent.Customer deposits rose by around 18 per cent during the first half of the year to EGP 1.30 trillion at end-June 2026, from EGP 1.11 trillion at end-2025.Net loans to customers increased to EGP 591.34 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 503.36 billion at end-2025, representing half-year growth of around 17.5 per cent.CIB,EGX,First Bank,Listed Banks,Customer Deposits,Depositor Confidence Indexhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13334https://en.firstbankeg.com/13334Mahynar MohamedFirst Indicator: QNB Egypt reshapes retail loans as real estate gains groundQNB Egypts financial statements show a relative shift in the composition of its retail loan portfolio over theThu, 03 Sep 2026 14:38:19 +02002026-09-03T14:38:19+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedQNB Egypt’s financial statements show a relative shift in the composition of its retail loan portfolio over the past five years, with changes in the weight of its individual components pointing to greater portfolio diversification compared with end-2021.Real estate loans recorded the fastest growth among the portfolio components, rising by around 378.6 per cent over the past five years to EGP 13.62 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 2.85 billion at end-2021. Their share of the retail loan portfolio consequently increased to 14.81 per cent from 7.84 per cent.This growth increased the importance of real estate lending within the portfolio, making it the second-largest component after personal loans, supported by the bank’s expansion in the segment and participation in several mortgage finance initiatives.Credit cards also recorded strong growth during the period under review, with balances rising by around 182.2 per cent to EGP 3.71 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 1.31 billion at end-2021. Their share of the total portfolio edged up to 4.03 per cent from 3.62 per cent.Personal loans, meanwhile, retained their position as the largest component of the retail loan portfolio, despite their share declining to 77.42 per cent at end-June 2026 from 79.96 per cent at end-2021. Balances grew by around 145.4 per cent to EGP 71.22 billion, from EGP 29.03 billion.Personal loans also remained the main driver of growth in the retail loan portfolio, increasing by EGP 42.20 billion over the past five years and accounting for around 76 per cent of the total increase in retail loans. The overall portfolio expanded by around EGP 55.70 billion to EGP 92 billion, from EGP 36.30 billion, representing growth of 153.4 per cent.Overdraft balances recorded the largest decline in relative weight among the portfolio components, with their share falling to 3.75 per cent at end-June 2026 from 8.59 per cent at end-2021, making them the smallest component of the portfolio by share.Despite this, overdraft balances increased by around 10.7 per cent during the period under review to EGP 3.45 billion at end-June 2026, from EGP 3.12 billion at end-2021, representing an increase of around EGP 334 million.These shifts point to a clear reshaping of QNB Egypt’s retail loan portfolio over the past five years. Personal loans remained the dominant component, while real estate loans gained significant weight on the back of the fastest growth among portfolio segments. Credit cards also increased their share, while overdrafts declined markedly as a proportion of the portfolio.QNB,Retail loan portfolio,QNB Egypt,Real estate loanshttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13333https://en.firstbankeg.com/13333The Big Numbers Race: JPMorgan Chase vs Bank of America for a global top-five spotJPMorgan Chase has widened its lead over Bank of America across key financial indicators, despite ranking justThu, 03 Sep 2026 12:56:35 +02002026-09-03T12:56:35+02:00JPMorgan Chase has widened its lead over Bank of America across key financial indicators, despite ranking just one place ahead globally, fifth versus sixth.The gap is most evident in balance-sheet scale, growth momentum and profitability, where JPMorgan Chase continues to outperform its rival.The race for a place among the world’s five largest banks depends on more than ranking, with growth, scale and profitability all playing a decisive role.On these measures, June 2026 figures give JPMorgan Chase a clear edge, while Bank of America faces a steeper challenge in narrowing the gap.According to June 2026 data, JPMorgan Chase’s total assets stood at around USD 5.02 trillion, compared with USD 3.50 trillion at Bank of America.JPMorgan Chase also maintained a clear lead in deposits, with its deposit base reaching around USD 2.71 trillion at end-June 2026, compared with around USD 2.03 trillion at Bank of America at the end of the same period.The advantage extended to lending, with JPMorgan Chase’s loan portfolio reaching around USD 1.54 trillion, compared with around USD 1.22 trillion at Bank of America at the end of the same period.However, looking only at the current size of the banks’ main portfolios does not reveal the full picture. Their trajectories over the past three years show how JPMorgan Chase’s advantage has developed into a wider gap.From end-2023 to June 2026, JPMorgan Chase recorded asset growth of 29.4 per cent, compared with just 10 per cent at Bank of America.The gap extended beyond growth rates, with JPMorgan Chase’s asset lead widening from around USD 694.88 billion at end-2023 to USD 1.52 trillion at end-June 2026, reflecting its faster expansion.A similar pattern emerged in deposits. JPMorgan Chase recorded cumulative growth of 13 per cent over the past three years, compared with 5.3 per cent at Bank of America, widening the gap between their deposit bases from around USD 476.86 billion at end-2023 to USD 688.58 billion at end-June 2026.This is particularly significant because deposits are one of the main sources of strength for large banks, not only as an indicator of the breadth of their customer base, but also because they provide capacity to support business expansion and enhance funding flexibility.In lending, the competition was closer in terms of growth rates, as JPMorgan Chase’s loan portfolio grew by 16.5 per cent over the past three years, compared with 15.6 per cent at Bank of America.However, this relatively narrow difference was not enough to reduce the gap. Instead, JPMorgan Chase continued to extend its lead in absolute terms, with the difference between the two loan portfolios widening from around USD 269.97 billion at end-2023 to USD 324.84 billion at end-June 2026.TThis highlights one of JPMorgan Chase’s key strengths: growth from a much larger business base gives it greater capacity to widen the absolute gap even when the two banks post relatively similar growth rates.While growth in the main financial portfolios reflects scale, profitability shows how efficiently that scale is managed. Here, the advantage tilts more clearly towards JPMorgan Chase.The bank recorded net profit of USD 37.65 billion in H1 2026, exceeding Bank of America’s USD 17.66 billion over the same period.JPMorgan Chase also recorded a return on average assets (ROAA) of 1.60 per cent and a return on average equity (ROAE) of 20.43 per cent, compared with 1.02 per cent and 11.69 per cent, respectively, at Bank of America in H1 2026.The profitability gap reflects more than the difference in earnings. It highlights JPMorgan Chase’s stronger ability to deploy its assets and capital and convert its larger business base into higher returns, giving it an advantage beyond balance-sheet scale.Although only one position separates JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America in the global rankings, their performance trajectories show a much wider gap.JPMorgan Chase has strengthened its lead through faster growth in assets and deposits, alongside stronger lending and profit generation, widening the gap over the past three years.Fifth place therefore reflects more than the current ranking; it also points to the strength of the trends behind it. Sustained growth and profitability would help JPMorgan Chase consolidate its position, while Bank of America would need faster expansion across its core businesses indicators to narrow the gap.The gap between the two banks extends well beyond the single position separating them in the global ranking. JPMorgan Chase continues to widen its lead in scale while delivering stronger growth and profitability.Bank of America, meanwhile, would need a meaningful acceleration in business growth to reverse the trend and narrow the gap.If current trends continue, JPMorgan Chase could strengthen its fifth-place position and potentially move higher among the world’s largest banks, while Bank of America’s ability to accelerate growth will remain key to narrowing the gap.Ranking,JPMorgan Chase,Bank of America,top fivehttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13332https://en.firstbankeg.com/13332Gulf banks dominate First Bank’s MENA top 100 by loans at end-March 2026Gulf banks continued to dominate First Banks ranking of the 100 largest banks in the Middle East and North AfrThu, 03 Sep 2026 11:06:21 +02002026-09-03T11:06:21+02:00Gulf banks continued to dominate First Bank’s ranking of the 100 largest banks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by loan portfolios at end-March 2026, retaining 58 positions — the same number recorded in the 2025 ranking.Their combined loans rose 2.7 per cent quarter-on-quarter to USD 2.53 trillion at end-March, from USD 2.46 trillion at end-2025.North African banks also maintained their representation at 22 positions. However, their combined loan portfolios declined to around USD 352.86 billion at end-March 2026, from USD 367.45 billion at end-2025, a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 3.9 per cent.The decline was mainly attributed to the impact of weaker local currencies against the US dollar in a number of North African markets amid geopolitical tensions in the region at the beginning of 2026. This weighed on the dollar value of some banks’ loan portfolios and consequently contributed to declines in their positions in the ranking.Among banks in the Mashriq region, the number represented in the ranking remained unchanged at 11, while their combined loan portfolios grew by around 3.04 per cent in Q1 2026 to USD 88.05 billion at end-March, from USD 85.45 billion at end-2025.Turkish banks also retained nine positions in the ranking, with their combined loan portfolios growing by 3.7 per cent during Q1 2026 to around USD 375.37 billion at end-March, from USD 361.91 billion at end-2025.<h3 data-id="vXqz62">Credit activity remains concentrated among the largest banks</h3>The ranking showed that credit activity remained heavily concentrated among the region’s largest banks, with the top 10 accounting for around 47 per cent of the combined loans of the 100 banks included in the ranking.Combined loans at the top 10 banks rose by around 2.4 per cent in Q1 2026 to approximately USD 1.55 trillion at end-March, from USD 1.51 trillion at end-2025, underscoring the continued concentration of a significant share of lending among a limited number of major banking institutions in the region.<h3 data-id="VBm5p7">Relative stability among the top 10</h3>The ranking of the 10 largest banks in the MENA region by loan portfolios remained relatively stable during Q1 2026, with only one change in position.

strong growth across its business base over the seven yeaTue, 01 Sep 2026 14:58:52 +02002026-09-01T14:58:52+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedNational Bank of Kuwait – Egypt (NBK-Egypt) has recorded strong growth across its business base over the seven years since Yasser El-Tayeb took over as Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director in August 2019.During his tenure, the bank expanded its assets, loans and deposits, while also achieving greater business diversification, a stronger capital base and consistently high asset quality across its loan portfolios.The bank’s indicators over this period point to an expansion that went beyond growth in scale to encompass its business structure, profitability and funding sources, reflecting a clear evolution in NBK-Egypt’s business model.According to the bank’s financial statements, total assets increased from EGP 64.3 billion at end-2019 to EGP 270.3 billion at end-June 2026, representing growth of 320.2 per cent, while loans rose from EGP 32.3 billion to EGP 148.5 billion over the same period, an increase of 360.1 per cent.As a result, loans as a share of total assets increased from about 50.2 per cent to 54.9 per cent, reflecting the allocation of a larger share of the balance sheet to core banking activities as the bank expanded.The expansion was not limited to growth in the loan portfolio, but also extended to its composition. Retail loans increased from EGP 5.5 billion at end-2019 to EGP 31.7 billion at end-June 2026, growing by 474.6 per cent, while corporate loans rose from EGP 26.8 billion to EGP 116.8 billion over the same period, an increase of 336.5 per cent.As a result of the different growth rates between the two segments, retail loans increased their share of the total portfolio from 17.1 per cent to 21.4 per cent, while the share of corporate loans declined from 82.9 per cent to 78.6 per cent over the period under review. This reflects a gradual expansion of the retail business while corporates remained a core component of the bank’s business model.The quality of the portfolio reinforces the significance of this expansion. The quality of the retail loan portfolio stood at 99.18 per cent at end-June 2026, compared with 99.39 per cent for the corporate loan portfolio.These levels are particularly significant given the strong growth in lending, especially in the retail segment, indicating that the expansion of the portfolio was not accompanied by a material deterioration in asset quality.This trend points to a management approach focused on broadening the bank’s growth base rather than redistributing it. Retail grew at a faster pace and gained a larger presence within the portfolio, but not at the expense of the corporate segment, which remained the largest component of the business.The diversification also extended to the funding base. Retail deposits increased from EGP 31.8 billion at end-2019 to EGP 105.8 billion at end-June 2026, growing by 233 per cent, while corporate deposits rose from EGP 19.8 billion to EGP 99.9 billion over the same period, an increase of 404.9 per cent. As a result, corporate deposits accounted for close to half of the total deposit base at end-June 2026, compared with less than 40 per cent at end-2019.This shift reflects an evolution in both the bank’s business and funding sources. The bank did not expand only the asset side of its balance sheet, but also broadened the customer and funding base supporting that growth, alongside a gradual change in the distribution of components within the balance sheet.<h3 data-id="8PoOI9">Broader base supports earnings quality, profitability</h3>The impact of this expansion was clearly reflected in the bank’s income-generating capacity.Net interest income increased from EGP 3.09 billion in 2019 to EGP 13.74 billion in 2025, representing growth of 344.5 per cent, while net income from fees and commissions rose from EGP 506.9 million to EGP 1.87 billion, an increase of 268.4 per cent over the same period.This was reflected in net profit, which increased from EGP 2.17 billion in 2019 to EGP 8.09 billion in 2025, representing growth of 273 per cent. At the same time, Return on Average Assets (ROAA) improved from 3.1 per cent to 3.8 per cent, while Return on Average Equity (ROAE) rose from 30.2 per cent to 30.7 per cent over the same period.The significance of these indicators lies in the relationship between growth and the preservation of productivity. As assets expanded to more than four times their 2019 level, ROAA did not decline but instead improved, while ROAE remained at a high level.This reflects management’s ability to translate growth in the business base into profitability rather than merely achieving expansion in scale.At the same time, business growth was accompanied by an expansion in the capital base. Shareholders’ equity increased from EGP 8.01 billion at end-2019 to EGP 33.08 billion at end-June 2026, representing growth of 313 per cent.Despite this substantial increase, the equity-to-assets ratio remained relatively stable at 12.2 per cent at end-June 2026, compared with 12.5 per cent at end-2019, reflecting growth in the capital base alongside balance-sheet expansion without a material change in the contribution of equity to asset funding.<h3 data-id="j3WhVO">2026: A new phase in the growth trajectory</h3>The first-half 2026 results reflect the strength of the trajectory built over the seven-year period. The bank recorded net profit of EGP 4.22 billion, net interest income of EGP 7.24 billion and net income from fees and commissions of EGP 994.2 million, while ROAA stood at 3.4 per cent and ROAE at 26.7 per cent.The seven years under Yasser El-Tayeb’s leadership therefore point to a transformation in NBK-Egypt’s capabilities that goes beyond an increase in the bank’s scale.The bank's asset base expanded, the loan mix shifted as retail grew at a faster pace, the capital base strengthened and its ability to generate income and profitability increased, while maintaining high levels of quality across its loan portfolios.The outcome suggests that management’s mark over the period was not to change the bank’s identity, but rather to expand its capacity to operate and grow within its core business model, while adding new growth engines and preserving its existing strengths.As the bank reaches this scale, the nature of the management challenge in the next phase is changing.The priority is no longer to build scale at the same pace, but to maximise returns from the base already established, maintain asset quality, improve capital efficiency and develop income sources in a way that supports continued and sustainable profitability growth.NBK-Egypt,bank,Yasser El-Tayeb,business base,seven yearshttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13327https://en.firstbankeg.com/13327NBE vs Standard Bank: Will June 2026 results redraw Africa’s banking landscape? The competition for Africas top banking position is back in focus between South Africas Standard Bank Group anTue, 01 Sep 2026 12:54:56 +02002026-09-01T12:54:00+02:00The competition for Africa’s top banking position is back in focus between South Africa’s Standard Bank Group and the National Bank of Egypt (NBE), after the lead shifted between the two over recent years. After NBE held the top position through the end of 2022, Standard Bank Group subsequently moved into first place, in a shift driven not only by changes in asset size but also by the sharp movements in the Egyptian pound and South African rand against the US dollar. The comparison between the two banks is particularly significant given the different reporting dates of their latest available data.  NBE’s most recently published figures showed total assets equivalent to USD 186.67 billion at end-September 2025, while Standard Bank Group’s assets stood at about USD 232.27 billion at end-June 2026. Although NBE republished several financial indicators for the period ended June in August 2026, including deposits, retail financing and retail deposits, the figures did not include total assets. This leaves the latest comparison incomplete, as NBE’s most recent available asset figure dates to September 2025, while Standard Bank Group’s is for June 2026. The apparent gap between the two banks therefore cannot be regarded as a definitive indication of their current positions, as nine months separate NBE’s latest disclosed asset figure from the data available for Standard Bank Group. The disclosure of NBE’s total assets at end-June 2026 therefore becomes the key missing piece needed to complete the comparison and determine the actual gap between Africa’s two largest banks. Exchange rates are a key factor in explaining the shift in the two banks’ positions over recent years, particularly when their assets are compared in US dollar terms.  NBE continued to expand its assets in local-currency terms, but the sharp depreciation of the Egyptian pound reduced the dollar value of that growth, limiting the extent to which its domestic expansion was reflected in its ranking when comparisons were made in US dollars. The movements of the two currencies illustrate the scale of this impact. The US dollar rose about 98.5 per cent against the Egyptian pound between end-2022 and end-June 2026, meaning that assets denominated in Egyptian pounds would need to grow substantially to offset the impact of the currency’s depreciation when converted into US dollars. By contrast, the South African rand appreciated by about 3.4 per cent against the US dollar over the same period, allowing the dollar value of Standard Bank Group’s assets to move in a more supportive currency environment than that of NBE and strengthening the group’s position in US dollar-based rankings and comparisons. Africa’s banking leadership landscape therefore reflects not only the scale of each bank’s domestic growth, but also the impact of exchange-rate movements when their assets are converted into US dollars. This helps explain the shift in the top position from NBE to Standard Bank Group, despite NBE’s continued strong expansion in the Egyptian market. With NBE’s full June 2026 financial data expected soon, banking and financial circles are awaiting a clearer picture of Africa’s banking leadership based on the latest available figures for both banks.  The data will show the current gap and whether Standard Bank Group retains the top position, or NBE’s recent asset growth narrows the gap between Africa’s two largest banks.  NBE,Africa,Standard Bank Group,South Africa,competitionhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13326https://en.firstbankeg.com/13326Mahynar MohamedCIB tops major Arab banks with 29.74% ROAE in Q1 2026Commercial International Bank Egypt CIB topped First Banks ranking of return on average equity ROAE among majoMon, 31 Aug 2026 15:42:29 +02002026-08-31T15:42:29+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedCommercial International Bank – Egypt (CIB) topped First Bank’s ranking of return on average equity (ROAE) among major Arab banks, with ROAE of 29.74 per cent in Q1 2026.The result was supported by net profit of USD 325 million, reflecting the bank’s efficiency and ability to generate strong returns on shareholders’ equity.The ranking tracks ROAE among major Arab banks, defined by FirstBank’s Rankings Centre as banks with total assets exceeding USD 15 billion.CIB maintained its positive momentum in H1 2026, with ROAE rising to 33.13 per cent alongside net profit of USD 799 million.The bank delivered strong performance across its key financial indicators in H1 2026, continuing to expand its balance sheet.

Both banks have expanded strongly since end-2022, although growth rates have differed across banking activities.Mashreq’s total assets grew 84 per cent over the period, compared with 80.3 per cent at ADIB. This widened the asset gap between the two banks to USD 16.84 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 8.24 billion at end-2022, reflecting Mashreq’s stronger position in terms of total assets.In deposits, Mashreq recorded growth of 99.6 per cent over the past three years, compared with 77.8 per cent at ADIB over the same period.Although ADIB continued to hold the larger deposit base, Mashreq’s faster growth helped narrow the gap between the two banks to USD 5.03 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 6.63 billion at end-2022, reflecting the faster pace of its expansion in this activity.In financing, Mashreq recorded growth of 156 per cent over the past three years, compared with 90.9 per cent at ADIB. This enabled Mashreq to overtake ADIB in the size of its financing portfolio after trailing it at end-2022, with the gap reaching USD 4.60 billion in Mashreq’s favour at end-June 2026.On profitability, Mashreq reported net profit of USD 1.10 billion in H1 2026, with return on average assets (ROAA) of 2.31 per cent and return on average equity (ROAE) of 19.13 per cent.ADIB, meanwhile, reported net profit of USD 1.02 billion in H1 2026, with ROAA of 2.57 per cent and ROAE of 23.22 per cent, reflecting higher efficiency in generating returns on assets and shareholders’ equity.On the capital side, ADIB continued to maintain a larger capital base, with capital reaching USD 988.92 million at end-June 2026, compared with USD 546.22 million at Mashreq.These indicators point to a relatively balanced competitive position between the two banks, with each holding an advantage across different key financial measures.Mashreq strengthened its position through a larger asset base, overtaking ADIB in financing activity and recording higher net profit in H1 2026, while ADIB continued to lead in deposits and recorded higher returns on average assets and average equity.The balance of competition between the two banks will therefore remain linked to each bank’s ability to strengthen its areas of advantage and translate them into sustainable growth, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape between them in the coming years.ADIB,assets,the Big Numbers Race,Mashreq,UAE bankshttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13323https://en.firstbankeg.com/13323First Bank ranks MENA’s 100 largest banks, FAB takes top spotFirst Banks ranking of the 100 largest banks in the Middle East and North Africa MENA at end-March 2026 showedMon, 31 Aug 2026 13:27:55 +02002026-08-31T13:27:55+02:00First Bank’s ranking of the 100 largest banks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) at end-March 2026 showed that the top 10 banks accounted for about 46 per cent of total assets, reflecting the continued concentration of a large share of assets among the region’s largest banking institutions.The combined assets of the top 10 banks grew by about 1.9 per cent quarter-on-quarter to USD 2.64 trillion at end-March 2026, compared with USD 2.59 trillion at end-2025.The ranking was based on banks’ reported total assets at end-March 2026, converted into US dollars to provide a standardised basis for comparison across banking institutions.Among the changes within the MENA top 10, Emirates NBD and Saudi National Bank (SNB) swapped positions, with Emirates NBD moving up to third place while SNB fell to fourth compared with the 2025 ranking.Another change saw Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) and Ziraat Bankasi swap positions, with ADCB moving up to sixth place while the Turkish bank fell to seventh.Kuwait Finance House (KFH) also dropped out of the top 10, falling from 10th place at end-2025 to 11th at end-March 2026.

The portfolio reached USD 202.84 billion at end-June, up from USD 200.69 billion at end-2025.Saudi National Bank also fell one place to fourth, with its loan portfolio rising 1.2 per cent in H1 2026 to USD 196.84 billion at end-June from USD 194.44 billion at end-2025.First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), meanwhile, retained fifth place after its loan portfolio grew 7.3 per cent in H1 2026 to about USD 180.03 billion at end-June from USD 167.81 billion at end-2025.Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) remained sixth, with its loan portfolio reaching USD 121.05 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 110.53 billion at end-2025, an increase of 9.5 per cent in H1 2026.Riyad Bank retained seventh place after its loan portfolio rose 1 per cent in the first six months of 2026 to about USD 100.51 billion at end-June from USD 99.53 billion at end-2025.National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) remained eighth, with its loan portfolio increasing 3.6 per cent in H1 2026 to about USD 90.19 billion at end-June from USD 87.09 billion at end-2025.Saudi Awwal Bank (SAB) retained ninth place after its loan portfolio grew 7 per cent in H1 2026 to about USD 85.22 billion at end-June from USD 79.62 billion at end-2025.Dubai Islamic Bank rounded out the ranking of the 10 largest Gulf banks by customer loans, retaining 10th place as its portfolio rose 7.2 per cent in H1 2026 to USD 76.51 billion at end-June from USD 71.35 billion at end-2025.https://en.firstbankeg.com/13319https://en.firstbankeg.com/13319Mahynar MohamedSNB regains Saudi deposit crown from Al Rajhi after nine monthsSaudi National Bank SNB regained the lead in Saudi Arabias deposit market at end-June 2026, after nine consSun, 30 Aug 2026 16:39:04 +02002026-08-30T16:41:00+02:00Saudi National Bank (SNB) regained the lead in Saudi Arabia’s deposit market at end-June 2026, after nine consecutive months in which Al Rajhi Bank held the top position following its move into first place at end-September 2025, according to a recent analysis by First Bank’s Research Centre.The shift reflects the continuing change in the competitive balance between the kingdom’s two largest banking institutions.According to the banks’ consolidated financial statements, SNB’s customer deposits rose to USD 185.82 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 169.59 billion at end-2025, representing growth of 9.6 per cent in H1 2026.By comparison, Al Rajhi Bank’s customer deposits increased to USD 183.21 billion at end-June 2026 from about USD 177.91 billion at end-2025, up 3 per cent over the same period.The results show that the change at the top was not driven by a decline in Al Rajhi Bank’s deposit base, but by the widening gap between the two banks’ growth rates during the first half of the year.While Al Rajhi Bank continued to record positive deposit growth, SNB accelerated its deposit mobilisation at a rate more than three times that of its rival, allowing it to close the gap and regain first place within six months.This reflects a shift in the nature of competition in Saudi Arabia’s deposit market. Maintaining a larger deposit base is no longer sufficient to secure the leading position, while the ability to achieve faster growth and attract new deposit inflows has become increasingly influential in reshaping the rankings among the kingdom’s largest banks.The development comes amid intense competition between the two banks over the past five years. SNB had long been Saudi Arabia’s largest bank by customer deposits before Al Rajhi Bank took first place for the first time in its history during 2024, marking the start of a new phase characterised by an unprecedented narrowing of the gap between their deposit bases and repeated changes in leadership.Since then, neither bank has maintained a stable lead, with the top position shifting according to differences in deposit growth during each financial period. After Al Rajhi Bank first moved into first place, SNB regained the lead at end-June 2025. Al Rajhi Bank then returned to the top at end-September of the same year and held the position for nine consecutive months, before SNB regained it once again at end-June 2026.This pattern confirms that competition between the two banks has entered a more dynamic phase than in previous years. The gap between them has become extremely narrow, meaning that even a relatively small difference in deposit growth over a single financial period can reshape the leadership of the market.Despite SNB’s return to first place, the competition remains open, as the gap between the two banks stood at just USD 2.61 billion at end-June 2026, a very narrow margin relative to the size of their respective deposit bases. This suggests that leadership of Saudi Arabia’s deposit market will continue to depend on each bank’s ability to maintain growth momentum and attract further deposits in the coming periods.https://en.firstbankeg.com/13318https://en.firstbankeg.com/13318Mahynar MohamedFirstBank tracks the 10 largest Gulf banks by deposits at end-June 2026Sun, 30 Aug 2026 16:36:11 +02002026-08-30T16:37:00+02:00H1 2026 results point to a shift in the competitive dynamics among Gulf banks. While the same 10 banks remained in the ranking, differences in customer deposit growth reshuffled several positions, changing the order within the group without altering its composition.The movements suggest that maintaining a leading position now depends not only on the size of a bank’s deposit base, but also on how quickly it grows relative to competitors. With deposit balances relatively close across several of the top 10 banks, differences in growth rates became the main factor reshaping the ranking during H1 2026.Against this backdrop, FirstBank tracks the 10 largest Gulf banks by customer deposits at end-June 2026, analysing changes in their positions and deposit balances compared with end-2025.Qatar National Bank retained the top spot after customer deposits rose 2.1 per cent to USD 267.02 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 261.40 billion at end-2025, maintaining the largest deposit base among Gulf banks.Emirates NBD climbed two places to second, supported by the fastest customer deposit growth among the top 10 banks. Deposits rose 13.5 per cent to USD 242.89 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 214.01 billion at end-2025, enabling the bank to overtake First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB).FAB, meanwhile, slipped to third despite customer deposits rising to USD 232.25 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 228.92 billion at end-2025. Its 1.5 per cent growth rate was the slowest among the top 10 and was not enough to retain second place.Saudi National Bank (SNB) rose to fourth from fifth, supported by a 9.6 per cent increase in customer deposits to USD 185.82 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 169.59 billion at end-2025.Al Rajhi Bank, by contrast, fell to fifth despite customer deposits rising 3 per cent to USD 183.21 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 177.91 billion at end-2025. The increase was not enough to preserve its previous position given the stronger growth recorded by SNB.Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) retained sixth place after customer deposits rose 5.4 per cent to USD 143.39 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 136.07 billion at end-2025.Riyad Bank also held seventh place, with customer deposits increasing 4.8 per cent to USD 92.69 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 88.44 billion at end-2025.Saudi Awwal Bank (SAB) climbed to eighth from ninth after customer deposits rose 5.7 per cent to USD 91.07 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 86.19 billion at end-2025, allowing it to move ahead of Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB).DIB slipped to ninth despite customer deposits rising 2.1 per cent to USD 89.03 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 87.18 billion at end-2025. The pace of growth was not enough to maintain its previous position.National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) rounded out the ranking, retaining 10th place after customer deposits rose 3.6 per cent to USD 87.74 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 84.65 billion at end-2025.The results show that competition among the largest Gulf banks is increasingly being shaped by the pace of deposit growth rather than deposit size alone. With the top 10 unchanged, differences in growth rates became the main driver of shifts in ranking, underscoring that maintaining a leading position depends not only on the scale of the deposit base but also on the ability to expand it faster than competitorshttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13317https://en.firstbankeg.com/13317Mahynar MohamedFirstBank ranks the 10 largest Arab banks by assets at end-June 2026Sun, 30 Aug 2026 16:31:16 +02002026-08-30T16:31:16+02:00The 10 largest Arab banks remained unchanged, although several members shifted positions as relatively narrow gaps in asset size meant that modest differences in growth were enough to reshape the ranking.H1 2026 data show that competition at the top of the Arab banking sector has become increasingly sensitive to differences in growth rates. Qatar National Bank (QNB) regained first place after its assets rose 3.7 per cent, or USD 14.05 billion, to USD 394.72 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 380.67 billion at end-2025.QNB’s return to the top pushed First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) into second place.FAB recorded more moderate asset growth of just 0.4 per cent, adding USD 1.34 billion over the same period to reach USD 383.57 billion at end-June 2026, compared with USD 382.23 billion at end-2025. The slower pace of growth was not enough to preserve its lead against a faster-growing rival.Emirates NBD recorded the fastest asset growth among the 10 largest banks, with assets rising 13.6 per cent, or USD 43.04 billion, during the first six months of 2026. Its assets reached USD 360.08 billion at end-June, up from USD 317.04 billion at end-2025, lifting the bank from fourth to third place.As a result, Saudi National Bank (SNB) slipped to fourth place at end-June 2026 from third at end-2025, despite recording asset growth of about 2.7 per cent. Its assets increased by USD 8.67 billion to USD 331.28 billion from USD 322.61 billion, but the pace of growth was slower than that recorded by Emirates NBD.Al Rajhi Bank remained fifth, with total assets reaching USD 280.73 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 278.15 billion at end-2025, representing growth of 0.93 per cent and an increase of USD 2.59 billion in H1 2026.Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) retained sixth place, with assets rising to USD 226.86 billion at end-June 2026 from USD 210.64 billion at end-2025, up 7.7 per cent or USD 16.21 billion over the period.National Bank of Egypt (NBE) also remained seventh, with total assets of USD 197.98 billion at end-June 2026.National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) retained eighth place after its assets reached USD 150.16 billion at end-June 2026, compared with USD 148.14 billion at end-2025, representing growth of 1.4 per cent and an increase of USD 2.01 billion in H1 2026.The final two positions saw Riyad Bank and Kuwait Finance House (KFH) exchange places. Riyad Bank moved up to ninth at end-June 2026 after its assets increased 2.6 per cent, or USD 3.53 billion, to USD 142.03 billion from USD 138.50 billion at end-2025.By contrast, KFH slipped to tenth after its assets declined 1.3 per cent in H1 2026 to USD 137.11 billion from USD 138.88 billion at end-2025.These movements show that competition among the largest Arab banks is no longer determined solely by the absolute size of their asset bases, but increasingly by the pace of growth. With asset levels among the region’s largest banks relatively close, even modest differences in performance can produce clear changes in ranking.https://en.firstbankeg.com/13316https://en.firstbankeg.com/13316CIB, RAKBANK, ADIB lead major Arab banks by return on average equityCommercial International Bank Egypt CIB topped First Banks

sector growth, top 10 capture 74% of asset increaseSun, 30 Aug 2026 16:26:31 +02002026-08-30T16:26:31+02:00Growth rates alone do not tell the full story of expansion in the Arab banking sector, particularly when growth is measured by the absolute increase in assets.While some mid-sized and emerging banks may record high growth rates, the much larger asset bases of major banks mean that even relatively modest percentage increases can translate into substantial gains in absolute terms, allowing them to drive sector growth and preserve their relative weight.Data from First Bank’s ranking of the 100 largest Arab banks at end-March 2026 confirm this trend. Asset growth across the 100 banks was not evenly distributed, with the largest institutions accounting for the bulk of the increase recorded during Q1 2026.The 10 largest Arab banks added about USD 52 billion to their assets during Q1 2026, accounting for around 74 per cent of the total increase recorded by the top 100 banks, which stood at about USD 70 billion.As a result, total assets across the ranking rose to USD 5.05 trillion at end-March 2026 from USD 4.97 trillion at end-2025.This performance also lifted the top 10 banks’ share of the combined assets of the 100 largest Arab banks to around 51 per cent at end-March 2026 from 50 per cent at end-2025, reflecting the continued concentration of financial strength among a limited number of major banking institutions.Although the composition of the top 10 remained unchanged, competition within the group remained active. Q1 2026 saw limited shifts in the rankings of several banks, driven by relatively small differences in asset portfolios and the increases recorded during the period, without any new entrants or exits.Emirates NBD climbed to third from fourth at end-2025 after adding about USD 14.20 billion to its assets, which rose to USD 331.24 billion at end-March 2026 from USD 317.04 billion at end-2025.The bank overtook Saudi National Bank, which slipped to fourth from third after adding just USD 4.73 billion in Q1 2026, taking its assets to USD 327.34 billion at end-March from USD 322.61 billion at end-2025.Riyad Bank also rose to ninth from 10th after adding USD 4.61 billion to its assets, which reached USD 143.11 billion at end-March 2026 from USD 138.50 billion at end-2025.It moved ahead of Kuwait Finance House (KFH), which fell to 10th from ninth despite adding about USD 3 billion to its assets, taking the total to USD 141.87 billion at end-March 2026 from USD 138.88 billion at end-2025.These movements reflect the relatively close asset sizes of several major banks, making their rankings more sensitive to differences in the absolute increases recorded across reporting periods.https://en.firstbankeg.com/13314https://en.firstbankeg.com/13314AAIB leads banks operating in Egypt in retail deposits over three yearsArab African International Banks AAIB retail deposit portfolio recorded strong growth over the past three yearSun, 30 Aug 2026 14:30:18 +02002026-08-30T14:30:18+02:00Arab African International Bank’s (AAIB) retail deposit portfolio recorded strong growth over the past three years, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 59.74 per cent to EGP 296.89 billion at end-2025 from EGP 72.84 billion at end-2022.This strong performance pushed the bank to the top of First Bank’s ranking of the fastest-growing banks operating in Egypt by retail deposits over the three-year period from 2022 to 2025.The bank’s retail deposits continued to grow during the current year, reaching EGP 322.43 billion at end-March 2026.Overall, AAIB recorded strong performance during the current year, reporting net profit of EGP 4.6 billion in Q1 2026, compared with EGP 3.2 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.Net interest income reached EGP 8 billion in the first three months of the year, amid continued strong growth across the bank’s operating activities.The bank’s total assets rose to EGP 1.04 trillion at end-March 2026, while its total loan portfolio reached about EGP 255.9 billion, comprising EGP 221 billion in corporate loans and EGP 34.9 billion in retail loans.Total deposits reached EGP 733 billion at end-March 2026, including EGP 322 billion in retail deposits and EGP 411 billion in corporate deposits.AAIB,First Bank,Banks,retail deposithttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13313https://en.firstbankeg.com/13313Amr El-Shafei lifts Emirates NBD Egypt deposits by over EGP 100bn in four yearsSun, 30 Aug 2026 14:07:39 +02002026-08-30T14:07:39+02:00Emirates NBD Egypt has entered a new phase of growth and expansion since Amr El-Shafei, chief executive officer and managing director, assumed executive leadership in February 2023.During the period under review, the bank recorded strong growth across its financial indicators over a relatively short period, supported by an integrated strategy aimed at improving operational efficiency, diversifying income sources and providing innovative banking solutions, strengthening Emirates NBD Egypt’s position among banks operating in Egypt.Emirates NBD Egypt’s total customer deposits jumped 125.4 per cent under El-Shafei’s leadership, reaching EGP 192.04 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 85.22 billion at end-2022, an increase of EGP 106.82 billion.The strong increase in total customer deposits was driven by substantial growth in retail deposits, which surged 197.3 per cent to EGP 80.11 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 26.95 billion at end-2022, an increase of EGP 53.16 billion.This growth increased the share of retail deposits in total customer deposits to 41.7 per cent at end-June 2026 from 31.6 per cent at end-2022.Corporate deposits accounted for 58.3 per cent of total customer deposits at end-June 2026, after growing 92.1 per cent over the period. The portfolio increased by EGP 53.66 billion to EGP 111.93 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 58.27 billion at end-2022.Retail deposits therefore grew faster than corporate deposits over the period and recorded a larger percentage increase, reflecting a shift in the deposit mix towards retail customers, while corporate deposits remained the bank’s main source of funding.Overall, El-Shafei’s tenure was accompanied by strong growth across the bank’s financial indicators in H1 2026. Net profit rose 9.6 per cent to EGP 3.31 billion in the first half of 2026 from EGP 3.02 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.Profit before tax increased 16.9 per cent to EGP 5.13 billion in H1 2026 from EGP 4.39 billion in the same period of 2025.Net interest income rose to EGP 7.55 billion in H1 2026 from EGP 6.09 billion a year earlier, representing growth of about 24 per cent.Net fees and commission income edged up 0.6 per cent to EGP 923.56 million in H1 2026 from EGP 918.46 million in the corresponding period of 2025.On the financial position side, total assets jumped to EGP 247.63 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 207.53 billion at end-2025, representing growth of 19.3 per cent in the first half of the year.Total loans and facilities to customers also grew 19.3 per cent in H1 2026 to EGP 114.01 billion at end-June from EGP 95.57 billion at end-2025.In terms of asset quality, the non-performing loan ratio declined to 3.40 per cent at end-June 2026 from 4.01 per cent at end-2025, a decrease of 61 basis points, reflecting the effectiveness of the bank’s credit risk management.retail deposits,Growth,Emirates NBD Egypt,Customer Deposits,Amr El-Shafeihttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13312https://en.firstbankeg.com/13312The United Bank tops EGX-listed banks in direct corporate loan growth in H1 2026The United Bank topped First Banks ranking of the fastest-growing EGX-listed banks by direct corporate loans iSun, 30 Aug 2026 12:33:36 +02002026-08-30T12:33:36+02:00<h3 data-id="H8gBYe">The United Bank climbs from last place in 2025 to top the ranking</h3><h3 data-id="21lJHM">ADIB Egypt, Suez Canal Bank, HDB and CIB remain among the top five in H1 2026 and 2025</h3><h3 data-id="CxjzfB">Direct corporate loans at EGX-listed banks reaches EGP 825.07bn, up 19.49% in H1 2026</h3><h3 data-id="zTs9Rl">CIB retains its position as the largest EGX-listed bank by direct corporate loans, with QNB Egypt second</h3>The United Bank topped First Bank’s ranking of the fastest-growing EGX-listed banks by direct corporate loans in H1 2026, recording growth of 36.69 per cent.

over the past five years, strengthening the banks main funWed, 26 Aug 2026 18:22:13 +02002026-08-26T18:22:13+02:00Suez Canal Bank’s customer deposits expanded rapidly over the past five years, strengthening the bank’s main funding base, supported by its ability to attract new liquidity and deepen customer confidence across different segments.As a result, customer deposits surged to EGP 238.93 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 50.59 billion at end-2021, representing growth of 372.3 per cent and a total increase of EGP 188.34 billion.Deposits recorded their fastest annual growth in 2024, jumping 83.9 per cent to EGP 135.47 billion from EGP 73.65 billion, an increase of EGP 61.82 billion<a href="http://billion.By" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">.</a>By comparison, 2025 recorded the largest annual increase in absolute terms, with customer deposits rising by about EGP 73.57 billion to EGP 209.04 billion at year-end from EGP 135.47 billion at end-2024, representing annual growth of 54.3 per cent.The upward trend continued into 2026, with customer deposits reaching EGP 238.93 billion at end-June, up 14.3 per cent in the first half of the year.This performance indicates that the pace of growth was not driven by exceptional or temporary factors, but reflected the bank’s ability to continue attracting liquidity and strengthening its funding sources on a sustainable basis, supporting its financial flexibility and providing greater capacity to finance its expansion plans in the coming period.Overall, Suez Canal Bank recorded strong performance in H1 2026, with net profit rising 17.7 per cent to EGP 3.63 billion from EGP 3.08 billion in the corresponding period of 2025, an increase of EGP 545 million.Net interest income jumped 47.4 per cent to EGP 5.70 billion in H1 2026 from EGP 3.87 billion a year earlier, an increase of EGP 1.83 billion.Net fees and commission income rose 10.3 per cent to EGP 763.6 million in H1 2026 from EGP 692.1 million in the corresponding period of 2025.On the balance-sheet side, total assets increased 13.6 per cent, or EGP 36.86 billion, in the first half of 2026 to EGP 306.98 billion at end-June from EGP 270.12 billion at end-2025.The bank’s customer loan portfolio also rose 10.8 per cent, or EGP 13.01 billion, in H1 2026 to EGP 135.57 billion at end-June from EGP 122.37 billion at end-2025.Suez Canal Bank,Customer Deposits,funding basehttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13309https://en.firstbankeg.com/13309The Big Numbers Race: Emirates Islamic, Dukhan Bank renew battle for Arab world’s Islamic top 10Emirates Islamic Bank has reshaped its competition with Dukhan Bank in recent years, as faster growth enabled Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:21:59 +02002026-08-26T15:22:59+02:00Emirates Islamic Bank has reshaped the competitive landscape with Dukhan Bank in recent years, as faster growth enabled the UAE lender to overtake its Qatari rival while also outperforming it on profitability and return indicators.According to June 2026 data, Emirates Islamic ranks 10th among Islamic banks in the Arab world by total assets, while Dukhan Bank ranks 11th.Based on the two banks’ consolidated financial statements, Emirates Islamic’s total assets reached about USD 41.88 billion at end-June 2026, compared with USD 35.46 billion for Dukhan Bank, reflecting the UAE bank’s larger scale of operations and balance sheet.The advantage extended to deposits, with Emirates Islamic reporting USD 30.11 billion at end-June 2026, compared with USD 25.79 billion at Dukhan Bank, reflecting its greater capacity to attract liquidity and expand the funding base supporting business growth.In financing activity, Emirates Islamic’s net customer financing reached USD 26.39 billion at end-June 2026, compared with USD 26 billion at Dukhan Bank, leaving the UAE bank slightly ahead in loans alongside its broader funding base.The competitive shift becomes clearer when tracking the two banks’ performance from end-2022 to June 2026. Emirates Islamic recorded total asset growth of 105.7 per cent over the period, compared with 21.4 per cent at Dukhan Bank.The wide difference in growth rates changed the balance of competition between the two banks, with Emirates Islamic overtaking its Qatari rival at end-2025 and widening the asset gap to USD 6.43 billion by end-June 2026.Deposits at Emirates Islamic grew 96.2 per cent over the same period, compared with 25.9 per cent at Dukhan Bank. This also enabled the UAE bank to overtake its rival at end-2025, with the gap widening to USD 4.32 billion at end-June 2026.This indicates that Emirates Islamic’s advance was not driven by asset expansion alone, but was accompanied by strong deposit growth, strengthening the funding base available to support further expansion.A similar pattern emerged in financing activity, as Emirates Islamic recorded 100.3 per cent growth in net customer financing over the same period, compared with 25 per cent at Dukhan Bank, allowing it to overtake its rival at end-2025 before widening the gap to about USD 392.58 million at end-June 2026.This reflects growth moving from the funding side to asset deployment, with the bank converting the expansion in its funding base into tangible growth in financing activity.The stronger operating performance was also reflected in profitability. Emirates Islamic reported net profit of USD 466.73 million in H1 2026, compared with USD 223.07 million at Dukhan Bank, extending its advantage from scale and growth indicators to profit generation.Emirates Islamic also held an advantage in asset utilisation efficiency, recording return on average assets (ROAA) of 2.29 per cent in H1 2026, compared with 1.29 per cent at Dukhan Bank, reflecting higher efficiency in generating returns from its asset base.Return on average equity (ROAE) at Emirates Islamic reached 20.10 per cent, compared with 10.58 per cent at Dukhan Bank in H1 2026, indicating that the gap extends beyond business scale to the bank’s ability to generate higher returns for shareholders.On the capital side, Emirates Islamic’s capital stood at USD 1.48 billion at end-June 2026, compared with USD 1.44 billion at Dukhan Bank, supporting the UAE bank’s capacity to continue expanding and build on its recent momentum.Based on these figures, Emirates Islamic Bank enters the next phase with a clear advantage over Dukhan Bank after moving ahead across the main financial portfolios while also outperforming its rival on profitability and returns.However, that advantage remains dependent on whether the current growth differential continues, leaving the competitive balance open to change in the coming periods. Sustained strong growth at Emirates Islamic would strengthen its ability to widen the gap and consolidate its lead, while faster growth at Dukhan Bank could narrow the gap and allow it to reclaim 10th place among Islamic banks in the Arab world.The direction of the competition will therefore be determined not by current business scale alone, but by each bank’s ability to maintain strong growth and translate it into sustainable expansion while preserving high levels of profitability and efficiency. Arab world,Dukhan Bank,Emirates Islamic Bankhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13308https://en.firstbankeg.com/13308Yasmin ElsayedCompetitiveness Indicator: AAIB, QNB Egypt intensify race for second place among private-sector banksCompetition for second place among Egypts private-sector banks is intensifying between Arab African InternatioWed, 26 Aug 2026 13:23:29 +02002026-08-26T13:23:29+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedCompetition for second place among Egypt’s private-sector banks is intensifying between Arab African International Bank (AAIB), led by Tamer Waheed, vice chairman and managing director, and QNB Egypt, led by Mohamed Bedeir, chief executive officer, as the gap between the two banks’ total assets narrows.The close contest is not a recent development. QNB Egypt ranked behind Commercial International Bank – Egypt (CIB) for years before the competitive landscape shifted in June 2024, when AAIB overtook its rival to claim second place.Since AAIB moved into the second position, the asset gap between the two banks has fluctuated considerably, widening at some points and narrowing sharply at others as their respective asset growth rates changed from one period to another.The gap stood at EGP 76.03 billion at end-September 2024 before widening to a peak of EGP 114.67 billion at end-2024. It then narrowed to EGP 46.18 billion at end-March 2025.The gap widened again to EGP 96.12 billion at end-June 2025 before falling to EGP 45.57 billion at end-September 2025 and EGP 39.68 billion at end-2025. By end-March 2026, it had narrowed further to just EGP 16.09 billion.The decline marks a notable shift in the competition. A gap that exceeded EGP 100 billion at end-2024 shrank to EGP 16.09 billion only 15 months later, its lowest level since June 2024, leaving the two banks in an increasingly tight race for second place.The narrowing gap coincided with a milestone in both banks’ growth, as their total assets exceeded EGP 1 trillion for the first time at end-March 2026.AAIB’s assets rose to EGP 1.04 trillion at end-March 2026 from EGP 955.24 billion at end-2025, representing quarterly growth of 9.3 per cent.QNB Egypt’s assets, meanwhile, increased to about EGP 1.03 trillion from EGP 915.56 billion over the same period, recording quarterly growth of 12.2 per cent.Although AAIB remained ahead by EGP 16.09 billion, QNB Egypt’s stronger asset growth in Q1 2026 adds a new dimension to the competition. With the gap now at a level where differences in growth rates could alter the ranking, the pace of asset expansion has become increasingly important in determining the direction of the race.Attention is now turning to the H1 2026 results as the next test of the balance between the two banks. QNB Egypt has already announced its results for the period, while the market awaits AAIB’s results, expected in the coming days.The upcoming results are particularly significant given the narrow gap between the two banks. They will show whether AAIB can maintain its lead and whether QNB Egypt sustained the momentum recorded in Q1 2026, potentially allowing it to overtake its rival and reclaim second place.The question now is whether AAIB can retain its position and widen the gap again, or whether QNB Egypt will reverse the order and reclaim second place. As attention turns to the latest figures, First Bank continues to track the two banks’ positions and whether the upcoming results will reinforce the current ranking or reshape the landscape of Egypt’s private-sector banks.AAIB,total assets,QNB Egypt,private-sector,private-sector bankshttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13307https://en.firstbankeg.com/13307Shaimaa NasserCorporate Indicator: Corporates drive over 75% of ADIB Egypt’s deposit, loan growthThe corporate segment at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Egypt ADIB Egypt is no longer simply the largest component of Wed, 26 Aug 2026 12:19:47 +02002026-08-26T12:19:47+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedThe corporate segment at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt (ADIB Egypt) is no longer simply the largest component of its loan portfolio, but has become a key driver of the bank’s business expansion in H1 2026.The segment accounted for most of the new growth in both deposits and loans, while also increasing its weight within the asset structure. H1 2026 data show that the corporate segment expanded faster than the bank as a whole across both deposits and loans, strengthening its role in shaping the balance sheet.Corporate deposits rose to EGP 184.13 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 143.29 billion at end-2025, an increase of EGP 40.84 billion and growth of 28.5 per cent. Corporate loans increased to EGP 139.20 billion from EGP 105.60 billion over the same period, up EGP 33.60 billion or 31.8 per cent.By comparison, total customer deposits rose 19.5 per cent to EGP 332.09 billion at end-June 2026, while total loans increased 28 per cent to EGP 197.92 billion. Corporate business therefore grew faster than the bank overall in both deposits and loans.The significance of this expansion becomes clearer when measured by the corporate segment’s contribution to new growth rather than simply by the size of its balances. Total deposits increased by about EGP 54.23 billion during the period, of which corporate deposits accounted for EGP 40.84 billion, equivalent to 75.3 per cent of the increase.On the lending side, the total increase amounted to EGP 43.25 billion, with the corporate segment contributing about EGP 33.60 billion, or 77.7 per cent. These figures show that the corporate segment was the main driver of new business growth in H1 2026, rather than simply the largest segment by existing balances.This growth also reshaped the balance sheet, as corporate loans increased to 70.3 per cent of total customer loans at end-June 2026 from 68.3 per cent at end-2025, while corporate loans as a share of total assets rose to 33.6 per cent from 30.5 per cent over the same period. With corporate loans growing 31.8 per cent compared with 19.5 per cent growth in total assets, the relative weight of corporate activity within the balance sheet increased faster than the asset base itself.The shift was not limited to loans. Corporate deposits grew 28.5 per cent during the period, outpacing the 19.5 per cent increase in total customer deposits and raising the segment’s share of the bank’s deposit base.Corporate business therefore expanded faster than the bank across both deposits and loans, while simultaneously increasing its share of the loan portfolio and asset structure.This points to an important shift in the nature of ADIB Egypt’s growth in H1 2026. The corporate segment was no longer simply the largest component of the loan portfolio, but became the largest contributor to new growth and expanded faster than the bank’s overall business, while increasing its weight across deposits, loans and assets.ADIB Egypt’s H1 2026 growth therefore cannot be assessed without examining the corporate segment. Its expansion became a key factor in determining both the direction and composition of balance-sheet growth, combining three developments: faster growth than the bank overall, a contribution of more than three-quarters of the new increase in deposits and loans, and a higher share of both the loan portfolio and total assets.ADIB Egypt,corporates,loan portfolio,corporate segmenthttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13306https://en.firstbankeg.com/13306First BankEBank ranks first among EGX-listed banks for personal loan growth in H1 2026EBank climbs 6 places to post the biggest rise in the ranking 2025ADIB Egypt and Suez Canal Bank maintainWed, 26 Aug 2026 10:38:43 +02002026-08-26T10:38:43+02:00<h3 data-id="hUDyne">EBank posts biggest climb, gaining six places from its 2025 ranking</h3><h3 data-id="WwxkjT">ADIB Egypt and Suez Canal Bank retain their places among the top five in H1 2026</h3><h3 data-id="ShpkFa">QNB Egypt becomes the largest EGX-listed bank by personal loans, followed by CIB</h3><h3 data-id="e9fB4E">Personal loans at listed banks reaches EGP 341.54bn, up 15.17% in H1 2026</h3>Export Development Bank of Egypt (EBank) topped First Bank’s ranking of the fastest-growing Egyptian Exchange-listed banks by personal loans in H1 2026, after its portfolio rose 30.14 per cent to EGP 15.09 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 11.59 billion at end-2025.The United Bank ranked second, with personal loans rising 21.22 per cent in H1 2026 to EGP 6.87 billion at end-June, compared with EGP 5.67 billion at end-2025.Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt (ADIB Egypt) ranked third, after its personal loans portfolio increased 20.14 per cent to EGP 55.21 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 45.95 billion at end-2025.The ranking, which covered 11 banks, showed that all banks recorded positive growth in personal loans during H1 2026.

of Egypt (EBank) recorded total assets rise 8 per cent in the first half of 2026 to EGP 223.45 billion at end-June, from EGP 206.93 billion at end-2025, according to the bank’s standalone financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026.<h3 data-id="uKJTTP">Greater Cairo accounts for 97.83% of EBank’s assets</h3>Greater Cairo continued to account for the largest share of EBank’s asset base, representing 97.83 per cent of total assets at the end of June 2026. The region’s assets grew by 8.3 per cent during the first half of 2026, reaching EGP 218.60 billion at the end of June 2026, compared with EGP 201.77 billion at the end of 2025.Meanwhile, assets in Alexandria, the Delta and Sinai declined to EGP 3.53 billion at the end of June 2026, compared with EGP 4.01 billion at the end of 2025. Consequently, the region’s contribution to EBank’s total asset base fell to 1.58 per cent, from 1.94 per cent at the end of 2025, reflecting the continued concentration of the bank’s assets in Greater Cairo.Upper Egypt, meanwhile, slightly increased its contribution to the bank’s asset base, accounting for 0.59 per cent of total assets at the end of June 2026, compared with 0.56 per cent at the end of 2025.The region recorded the fastest asset growth among EBank’s geographic regions, with its assets increasing by 13.9 per cent during the first half of 2026 to EGP 1.32 billion, compared with EGP 1.16 billion at the end of 2025. Despite recording the highest growth rate among the regions, Upper Egypt’s contribution to the bank’s overall asset base remained limited due to its relatively small share.Overall, EBank’s asset growth during the first half of 2026 was driven primarily by Greater Cairo, amid a decline in assets across Alexandria, the Delta and Sinai and a limited contribution from Upper Egypt. This highlights the continued geographic concentration of the bank’s asset base in its core market.<h3 data-id="GBljXA">Greater Cairo drives EBank’s profit growth</h3>EBanks net profit increased by 43.9 per cent during the first half of 2026 to EGP 3.75 billion, compared with EGP 2.61 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.Greater Cairo remained the largest contributor to EBank’s net profit, accounting for 69.28 per cent of total net profit during the first half of 2026. The region’s net profit increased by 44.4 per cent to EGP 2.60 billion, compared with EGP 1.80 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.Meanwhile, Alexandria, the Delta and Sinai recorded a 39.5 per cent increase in net profit to EGP 1.04 billion during the first half of 2026, compared with EGP 745.64 million in the corresponding period of 2025. The region contributed 27.73 per cent of EBank’s total net profit during the period.Upper Egypt recorded the fastest growth in net profit among the bank’s geographic regions, with net profit surging by 86.6 per cent to EGP 112.13 million during the first half of 2026, compared with EGP 60.10 million in the corresponding period of 2025. Its contribution to EBank’s total net profit increased to 2.31 per cent.The data indicate that Greater Cairo remained the primary driver of EBank’s profitability during the first half of 2026, accounting for the largest share of the bank’s net profit despite the strong growth recorded by Upper Egypt. Meanwhile, the other geographic regions continued to make relatively limited contributions, underscoring the continued concentration of EBank’s earnings in Greater Cairo.</section>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13304https://en.firstbankeg.com/13304Yasmin ElsayedEmirates NBD Egypt’s five-year transformation reshapes growth, profitabilityEmirates NBD Egypt has recorded substantial business growth over the past five years, strengthening its financTue, 25 Aug 2026 13:00:28 +02002026-08-25T13:00:28+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedEmirates NBD Egypt has recorded substantial business growth over the past five years, strengthening its financial position as total assets more than doubled, driven primarily by strong growth in customer deposits.The expansion extended beyond the balance sheet, with net profit rising more than elevenfold alongside a marked improvement in profitability indicators.Total assets increased to EGP 247.63 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 82.58 billion at end-2021, representing growth of 200 per cent and an increase of about EGP 165 billion. This points to a substantial expansion in the bank’s overall scale of operations rather than growth concentrated in a single balance-sheet item.Customer deposits were the main funding driver of this expansion, rising 184.2 per cent to EGP 192.04 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 67.58 billion at end-2021, an increase of EGP 124.46 billion.Measured against the overall increase in assets, deposit growth was equivalent to about 75.4 per cent of the expansion in the balance sheet, underlining the central role of deposit mobilisation in building the bank’s larger business base.Despite this, the bank’s relative reliance on deposits declined, with deposits accounting for 77.55 per cent of assets at end-June 2026 compared with 81.84 per cent at end-2021.This reflects a broader funding base as the balance sheet expanded, reducing the relative concentration of funding in deposits while leaving them as the bank’s largest source of funding.Equity grew at an even faster pace, rising 212 per cent to EGP 25.07 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 8.04 billion at end-2021, an increase of EGP 17.03 billion.This growth is particularly significant from a banking perspective because it accompanied the sharp expansion in assets and lending, strengthening the bank’s capacity to absorb risk and continue growing without relying solely on higher liabilities.Although equity remained a relatively limited source of asset funding compared with deposits, its contribution increased to 10.13 per cent at end-June 2026 from 9.73 per cent at end-2021.Balances due from banks also increased sharply, reaching EGP 21.95 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 2.81 billion at end-2021, representing exceptional growth of about 680 per cent and an increase of EGP 19.13 billion.This reflects a substantial increase in balances placed with the banking sector and highlights the importance of managing the liquidity and asset-allocation mix alongside the expansion in the deposit base.On the asset-allocation side, the bank expanded its core banking activity, with net customer loans rising 176.3 per cent to EGP 107.84 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 39.03 billion at end-2021, an increase of EGP 68.81 billion.At the same time, the bank did not rely solely on lending to deploy its resources. Financial investments rose 186.4 per cent to EGP 81.25 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 28.37 billion at end-2021, an increase of EGP 52.89 billion.The expansion of the balance sheet was accompanied by a much stronger increase in earnings. Net profit rose to EGP 6.08 billion in 2025 from EGP 544.73 million in 2021, an increase of about 1,016.6 per cent, meaning profit grew more than tenfnfold over the period.This indicates that the bank not only expanded the scale of its business, but also increased its ability to generate profit at a pace well above the growth of its balance sheet.The improvement was reflected in profitability indicators. Based on average opening and closing balances, return on average assets (ROAA) rose to 3.32 per cent in 2025 from about 0.73 per cent in 2021, while return on average equity (ROAE) increased to 30.12 per cent from about 6.91 per cent over the same period.These increases point to a significant improvement in the bank’s ability to generate returns from its asset and equity bases, showing that stronger profitability was not driven solely by a larger pool of resources but also by a higher level of returns generated from them.The strong performance continued into 2026, with the bank reporting net profit of EGP 3.31 billion in H1, alongside ROAA of 2.91 per cent and ROAE of 27.52 per cent.Emirates NBD Egypt’s indicators over the past five years show that the transformation extended beyond business volume expansion to the bank’s ability to mobilise resources, deploy them, and generate stronger returns. Assets, deposits, and equity all recorded strong growth alongside expansion in lending and financial investments, clearly reshaping the bank’s business base.The transformation also extended to profitability, which recorded a significant improvement, reflecting simultaneous growth in both the scale of the bank’s operations and its ability to generate returns from its business base.The past five years have therefore produced a broader financial base, supported by stronger resources, substantial expansion in lending and financial investments, and a larger equity base, strengthening the bank’s capacity to sustain growth in the next phase.Growth,profit,financial position,Emirates NBD Egypt,Customer Deposits,business growthhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13302https://en.firstbankeg.com/13302AIB leads corporate deposit growth among banks operating in Egypt over 3 yearsArab International Bank AIB topped FirstBanks ranking of the fastest-growing banks operating in Egypt by corpoTue, 25 Aug 2026 10:45:47 +02002026-08-25T11:45:00+02:00<h3 data-id="Nrl605">AIB leads banks operating in Egypt in corporate deposit growth over three years</h3><h3 data-id="OozIwB">Islamic banks secure two spots among the top 10, out of four included in the ranking</h3><h3 data-id="gwvxMJ">13 banks outpace the sector’s 22.2% three-year CAGR</h3>Arab International Bank (AIB) topped FirstBank’s ranking of the fastest-growing banks operating in Egypt by corporate deposits over the past three years, recording a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 72.07 per cent.Its corporate deposits reached EGP 232.03 billion at end-2025, compared with EGP 45.54 billion at end-2022.Suez Canal Bank ranked second, with its corporate deposits recording a three-year CAGR of 47.98 per cent to reach EGP 171.73 billion at end-2025, compared with EGP 52.99 billion at end-2022.Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt (ADIB Egypt) ranked third, recording a three-year CAGR of 43.75 per cent.

retail deposit base over the past five yearMon, 24 Aug 2026 12:23:11 +02002026-08-24T12:23:11+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedNational Bank of Kuwait – Egypt (NBK Egypt) significantly expanded its retail deposit base over the past five years, with balances rising to EGP 102.4 billion at end-March 2026 from EGP 32.6 billion at end-2020.The increase of EGP 69.8 billion, 214.5 per cent, reflecting the bank’s ability to build a substantial retail savings base that exceeded EGP 100 billion by the end of the period and became a key component of its funding structure.The significance of this growth becomes clearer when compared with corporate deposits. Although corporate deposits grew at a faster pace, rising 490.2 per cent to EGP 101.2 billion at end-March 2026 from EGP 17.2 billion at end-2020, an increase of EGP 84.1 billion, retail deposits remained the largest single component of the bank’s deposit base, exceeding corporate deposits by about EGP 1.2 billion.The period therefore ended with an almost evenly balanced deposit base between the two segments, with retail deposits retaining a slight lead. This is significant given that retail deposits reached such a substantial level alongside strong growth in corporate deposits.At the same time, total deposits rose 309.6 per cent to EGP 203.6 billion at end-March 2026 from EGP 49.7 billion at end-2020, an increase of EGP 153.9 billion.Retail deposits contributed EGP 69.8 billion, or 45.4 per cent, of that increase, compared with 54.6 per cent from corporate deposits. Retail customers therefore accounted for nearly half of the growth in the bank’s deposit base, making the segment one of the main drivers of funding expansion.The increase in deposits was also reflected directly in the bank’s asset growth. Total assets rose 314.4 per cent to EGP 257.7 billion at end-March 2026 from EGP 62.2 billion at end-2020, an increase of EGP 195.5 billion. The EGP 69.8 billion increase in retail deposits was equivalent to about 35.7 per cent of the total increase in assets.The EGP 153.9 billion rise in total deposits, meanwhile, was equivalent to about 78.7 per cent of the increase in assets. This reflects the bank’s ability to use growth in its funding sources to support balance-sheet expansion, while retail deposits became an increasingly important source of that funding.The value of building a large retail deposit base extends beyond funding alone. A broader and more diversified pool of depositors reduces reliance on a limited number of large customers and supports greater flexibility in funding management.It also gives the bank greater scope to deepen customer relationships and offer additional products such as loans, credit cards, financing and payment services, creating opportunities for future business growth and revenue diversification.The past five years therefore reflect a marked increase in both the scale and importance of retail deposits at NBK Egypt, supported by continued growth in its customer base and a stronger presence in retail banking.This development points to a more mature retail deposit base that has become one of the main pillars supporting the bank’s growth, while also creating opportunities to expand its customer base, increase banking transactions and product penetration, and strengthen its capacity to generate recurring and sustainable growth over the coming period.deposits,NBK

by corporate depositsQNB Egypt strengthened its financial position in H1 2026, with total assets rising 16 per cent to EGP 1.06 triSun, 23 Aug 2026 16:08:53 +02002026-08-23T16:08:53+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedQNB Egypt strengthened its financial position in H1 2026, with total assets rising 16 per cent to EGP 1.06 trillion at end-June from EGP 915.56 billion at end-2025, an increase of more than EGP 146 billion in just six months.The significance of this growth lies not only in its scale, but also in the sources behind it. A closer look at the balance sheet shows that corporate deposits played a major role in the bank’s expansion during the first half of the year.Corporate deposits were the main driver of this growth, accounting for about 58 per cent of the total increase in assets during H1 2026. This means that more than half of the expansion in QNB Egypt’s balance sheet was linked to new inflows from corporates.The bank’s corporate deposit portfolio rose by about EGP 84.93 billion to EGP 576.63 billion at end-June 2026 from EGP 491.70 billion at end-2025, representing growth of 17.3 per cent in the first six months of the year.This strengthened QNB Egypt’s position as the largest private-sector bank in Egypt by corporate deposits, reflecting its strong presence in the corporate segment and its ability to attract a broad base of large customers, while supporting further expansion across its banking activities.Corporate deposits were therefore central to QNB Egypt’s growth in H1 2026, accounting for the largest share of the increase in total assets.Their faster growth relative to assets also strengthened their role as a key source of funding, supporting the bank’s continued business expansion.assets,corporate deposits,financial position,QNB Egypt,bank,balance sheethttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13296https://en.firstbankeg.com/13296Mahynar MohamedADCB Egypt expands sustainable finance, launches 1st carbon footprint calculatorTranslated & Edited by Aya ElsayedAbu Dhabi Commercial Bank - Egypts ADCB 2025 Sustainability Report showsSun, 23 Aug 2026 15:50:02 +02002026-08-23T15:50:02+02:00Translated & Edited by Aya ElsayedAbu Dhabi Commercial Bank - Egypt’s (ADCB) 2025 Sustainability Report shows how sustainability is becoming more deeply integrated into the bank’s business model, from capital allocation and risk management to long-term growth.The bank expanded sustainable finance, introduced tools to help corporate clients manage carbon emissions, increased investment in community initiatives and widened its financial inclusion efforts.<h3 data-id="ohZGAQ">Sustainable finance jumps 55.7%, portfolio exceeds EGP 13bn</h3>ADCB Egypt’s sustainable finance portfolio rose 55.7 per cent year-on-year to EGP 13.27 billion at end-2025 from EGP 8.5 billion at end-2024.Sustainable finance accounted for 24.6 per cent of the bank’s lending to corporates and SMEs, up from about 19 per cent in 2024, signalling a broader shift in the loan book.The portfolio was almost evenly split between EGP 6.66 billion in green loans and EGP 6.61 billion in social loans.Clean transport accounted for 77.2 per cent of the green loan portfolio, reflecting the bank’s focus on financing lower-emission transport projects.Within social lending, 34.5 per cent was directed towards infrastructure projects, while 29.3 per cent supported microenterprises, extending financing towards projects with broader economic and social impact.The bank also participated in arranging syndicated financing for a real estate development project in 2025, contributing EGP 1 billion. The project was designed in line with sustainability standards, while one of its buildings received EDGE green-building certification, targeting a 53 per cent reduction in energy consumption and a 44 per cent reduction in water use.ADCB Egypt also provided a EGP 200 million financing facility to support the localisation of Egypt’s pharmaceutical industry, strengthening domestic manufacturing and research and development capacity while supporting the production of vaccines and essential medicines.<h3 data-id="8WGNrQ">ADCB launches Egypt’s first corporate carbon footprint calculator</h3>ADCB Egypt also extended its sustainability strategy beyond financing by launching a carbon footprint calculator for corporates, becoming the first bank in the Egyptian market to offer the service.The service was introduced through a strategic partnership with Masader, a leading sustainability and climate advisory firm, using Thamania, Masader’s advanced digital sustainability platform..It is designed to help companies measure carbon emissions, identify opportunities to reduce them, strengthen climate disclosure and environmental governance, and prepare for regulatory requirements linked to local and international net-zero policies.The bank also continued to improve the environmental efficiency of its own operations, with its headquarters and 40 per cent of its branch network receiving EDGE green-building certification.<h3 data-id="vjrhNc">ADCB Egypt allocates EGP 16.11m to community initiatives</h3>ADCB Egypt increased spending on social responsibility initiatives by 41.1 per cent year-on-year to EGP 16.11 million in 2025, benefiting 7,324 people across healthcare, education, economic empowerment and environmental programmes.Healthcare accounted for EGP 8 million, supporting 4,550 beneficiaries as the bank contributed to Nile of Hope Hospital, which specialises in treating congenital conditions among newborns, and provided an endoscope sterilisation device to Fayoum Oncology Centre, benefiting about 900 patients annually through stronger infection-control capabilities and improved healthcare quality.In education, ADCB Egypt allocated EGP 3.46 million to support students with disabilities, including scholarships for 14 students across different universities and faculties, alongside training programmes aimed at developing skills and preparing beneficiaries for the labour market.The bank invested a further EGP 3.13 million in economic empowerment initiatives. These included the 100 Women programme, which provided practical training in business management, marketing and product development to help participants expand home-based businesses into more sustainable small enterprises.ADCB Egypt also worked with Al Orman Association to support 60 people with disabilities in establishing or expanding small businesses.In partnership with the Ataa Fund, the bank financed three-wheeled vehicles for 15 wheelchair users, supporting greater independence and access to economic opportunities.Environmental initiatives worth EGP 1.5 million benefited around 2,500 people and included two solar-powered water desalination plants in Beheira governorate, providing a more sustainable source of clean water while reducing carbon emissions.<h3 data-id="NZA2QT">Financial inclusion reaches 12.2k beneficiaries</h3>Financial inclusion formed another part of the bank’s sustainability strategy, with a focus on expanding access to financial services for women, people with disabilities and young people.Through specialised financial products and partnerships with civil society organisations, ADCB Egypt reached 12,225 beneficiaries through financial inclusion initiatives in 2025, supported by investments of about EGP 1 million.Among those initiatives was a partnership with Rahet Bally, which organised capacity-building workshops for women and connected participants with financial products suited to their needs.At the same time, the bank’s SME financing portfolio grew 16 per cent year-on-year to EGP 1.6 billion, reinforcing the link between financial inclusion, access to credit and broader economic participation.ADCB Egypt’s sustainability strategy in 2025 therefore extended beyond individual initiatives. The stronger growth in sustainable finance, broader use of environmental tools, higher community investment and wider financial inclusion efforts point to a model in which sustainability is becoming more closely integrated with the bank’s core business and long-term growth strategy.ADCB,sustainable finance,bank,sustainability,finance,carbon
