This reflects their relatively limited presence among the fastest-growing banks in this market, despite their sizable deposit bases. The ranking indicates that competition for retail deposits during the period was primarily driven by conventional banks, which achieved higher growth rates that enabled them to secure the leading positions.</p><p dir="ltr">The ranking also highlighted notable shifts among the leading banks, with Suez Canal Bank maintaining its position, while ADIB–Egypt, SAIB, Housing and Development Bank, and Al Baraka Bank declined in the rankings.</p><p dir="ltr">It should be noted that all figures and growth rates mentioned in the above analysis are based on the standalone financial statements publicly disclosed by each bank as of the end of June 2026.</p><div class="embed"><table class="financial-table display" style="border-collapse:collapse !important;width:100% !important;max-width:100%

It is considered one of the most important indicators for assessing credit performance, as it reflects the bank’s efficiency in applying risk assessment policies and asset management. When the ratio is high, it indicates that the bank is effectively extending credit to highly creditworthy individuals, which enhances its financial soundness and reduces the risk of non-performing loans.</p><p data-end="2165" data-start="1827">Conversely, a lower retail loan portfolio quality ratio indicates weaknesses in assessment processes or challenges in loan recovery, requiring a review of internal procedures and controls.

Top Spot as MENA's Largest Bank A recent analysis by the First Bank Research Center showed that Qatar National Bank QNB regained its position Tue, 04 Aug 2026 04:00:30 +02002026-08-04T04:00:30+02:00<p dir="ltr">A recent analysis by the «First Bank» Research Center showed that Qatar National Bank (QNB) regained its position as the largest bank in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by total assets at the end of June 2026, after spending two consecutive quarters behind First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), which had overtaken it in September 2025.</p><p dir="ltr">The shift underscores intensifying competition for regional banking leadership, with the top ranking becoming increasingly fluid as the asset bases of the region's two largest lenders continue to converge.</p><p dir="ltr">According to the banks' consolidated financial statements, QNB's total assets rose to $394.72 bn at the end of June 2026 from $380.67 bn at the end of 2025, representing a 3.7% increase during the first half of the year.</p><p dir="ltr">By comparison, FAB's assets edged up to $383.57 bn from $382.23 bn over the same period, posting growth of just 0.3%, The difference in growth momentum was enough to reverse the regional rankings.</p><p dir="ltr">The turning point came during the second quarter of 2026, when the two banks moved in opposite directions. While QNB continued to expand its balance sheet, FAB's assets declined from their March level, allowing the Qatari lender to reclaim the top position within just three months.</p><p dir="ltr">At the end of March 2026, FAB had strengthened its lead with total assets of $405.78 bn, standing $18.87 bn ahead of QNB, whose assets totaled $386.91 bn. By the end of June, however, QNB had erased that gap entirely and moved back into first place with a lead of $11.15 bn.</p><p dir="ltr">A review of the past five years shows that QNB had maintained a comfortable lead over its nearest rival for much of the period. </p><p dir="ltr">The asset gap stood at $31.36 bn at the end of both 2020 and 2021, narrowed to $24.41 bn in 2022 and $19.86 bn in 2023, before widening again to $25.78 bn at the end of 2024, reinforcing its long-standing regional dominance.</p><p dir="ltr">That pattern changed in 2025, when FAB became the region's largest bank by assets for the first time, ending the year with a $1.56 bn lead before extending its advantage to $18.87 bn by the end of March 2026. </p><p dir="ltr">However, QNB reversed the trend within one quarter, marking one of the fastest leadership changes ever recorded between the region's two largest banking groups. The latest figures suggest that the rivalry between QNB and FAB has entered a new phase. </p><p dir="ltr">Regional leadership is no longer defined solely by the size of a bank's balance sheet but increasingly by its ability to deliver stronger and more sustainable growth than its closest competitor.</p><p dir="ltr">As the gap between the two lenders continues to narrow, upcoming financial results are likely to play a decisive role in reshaping the ranking of the region's largest banks.</p>QNB,First Bank,FABhttps://en.firstbankeg.com/13238https://en.firstbankeg.com/13238EGBANK, E-Bank, and Emirates NBD Are the Most Efficient Banks in Resource Utilization Rate as of End of March 2026Mon, 03 Aug 2026 16:29:59 +02002026-08-03T16:29:59+02:00<h3><span style="color:#cc9933;">The bank with the most resource employment.. «EGBANK» maintains the top spot from 2025 until the end of March 2026 8 banks maintain their presence among the top ten from 2025 until the end of March 2026 82.14% is the average resource employment rate for 25 banks operating in the Egyptian banking sector by the end of March 2026 Islamic banks Capture 3 positions among the top ten out of 4 Islamic banks included in the ranking</span></h3><h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">The «First Bank» list of the most efficient banks in terms of resource deployment by the end of March 2026 revealed that the Egyptian Gulf Bank «EGBANK» ranked first, with a deployment ratio of 97.63%. This performance was driven by the bank’s success in allocating EGP 130.68 bn of its traditional resources into customer loans and financial investments portfolios by the end of March, while its total traditional resources reached EGP 133.85 bn during the same period.</h3><p>Export Development Bank of Egypt «EBank» ranked second, with a deployment ratio of 96.07%, after successfully allocating EGP 176.42 bn of its traditional resources into customer financing and financial investments portfolios by the end of March 2026.

These banks are: «EGBANK», «EBank», «Emirates NBD Egypt», «Al Baraka Bank», «FABMISR», «NBK-Egypt»,Commercial International Bank «CIB», and «United Bank».</p><p>Meanwhile, the top 10 list by the end of March 2026 witnessed the entry of two banks. Kuwait Finance House jumped to 5th place by the end of March 2026, compared to 14th place at the end of 2025.</p><p>Additionally, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt advanced to 8th place by the end of March, compared to 12th place in 2025.</p><p>At the sector level, the resource deployment ratio across the 25 banks reached 82.14% by the end of March.</p><p>On the other hand, 3 Islamic banks succeeded in securing positions among the top 10 out of 4 Islamic banks included in the ranking. «Al Baraka Bank» ranked fourth, «Kuwait Finance House» came fifth, and «Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt» ranked eighth on the list.</p><p>It is worth noting that all figures mentioned in the above analysis are based on the standalone financial statements announced by each bank as of the end of March

electronic portal of the African Financial Stability Committee (AFSC), as part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen institutional cooperation among African central banks, while anchoring the mechanisms for sharing knowledge and expertise in the field of financial stability across the continent.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span><span><span><span>The launch of the portal reflects the success of the joint efforts that initially led to the establishment of the AFSC under the umbrella of the AACB, upon an initiative by the CBE, and under the auspices of H.E. Mr. Hassan Abdalla – Governor of the CBE. The Committee serves as the first continental institutional framework dedicated to financial stability from a macroprudential perspective, supporting the coordination and cooperation among African central banks, and enhancing the stability of financial systems across the continent.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span><span><span><span>The AFSC portal represents an important institutional milestone in the Committee’s journey, as it provides an integrated digital platform that introduces the AFSC, its objectives, mandates, organizational structure, and member central banks. It also highlights its working groups - including the African Financial Stability Report Working Group (AFSR-WG) and the Macroprudential Policy Development and Implementation Working Group (MPDI-WG) - and their respective roles in supporting the Committee’s objectives and advancing technical cooperation among African central banks. The portal also highlights the pivotal role of the Committee's Secretariat in supporting technical and administrative coordination for the Committee and its working groups, as well as managing and maintaining the portal's content.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span><span><span><span>The portal serves as a key platform for publishing the outputs of the Committee and its working groups, including reports, studies, technical papers, and reference materials. On top of these is the African Financial Stability Report, which constitutes the first comprehensive continental assessment of financial stability in Africa prepared directly by African central banks. This is expected to broaden the reach of these outputs and enhance their use by central banks, financial institutions, and relevant stakeholders at both regional and global levels.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span><span><span><span>The portal also provides information on the regular meetings of the Committee and its working groups, as well as key ongoing activities and initiatives. This will enhance the transparency of the Committee’s work and enable interested stakeholders and observers to follow efforts aimed at promoting financial stability across the African continent.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span><span><span><span>The AFSC portal is expected to support knowledge sharing and the exchange of best practices among African central banks, while enhancing coordination and cooperation in addressing risks and challenges that may affect financial stability from a macroprudential perspective across the continent. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span><span><span><span>The launch of this portal reaffirms the commitment of the CBE, together with the AACB and member central banks, to continuously support efforts toward African financial integration. It solidifies the AFSC’s role as a specialized continental platform for enhancing technical cooperation in the field of financial stability, contributing to the development of more resilient financial systems that are better positioned to support sustainable economic growth across Africa.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13232https://en.firstbankeg.com/13232HSBC, FABMISR, and CIB lead banks in employee profitability index in Q1 2026Mon, 03

data-end="1177" data-start="924">The «First Bank» Ratings Center launched a specialized index to measure banks’ exposure to foreign exchange fluctuation risks, as part of an effort to provide an accurate quantitative assessment of the balance of foreign currency positions within banks.</p><p data-end="1397" data-start="1179">The methodology of this index is based on measuring the degree of balance between banks’ foreign currency assets and liabilities through the ratio of total foreign currency assets to total foreign currency liabilities.</p><p data-end="1585" data-start="1399">A ratio approaching one indicates a relative balance between the two sides, reflecting a neutral foreign currency position and a lower level of exposure to foreign exchange market risks.</p><p data-end="2002" data-start="1587">On the other hand, a ratio deviating from one, either upward or downward, reflects a gap in the structure of foreign currency assets; values above one indicate that foreign assets exceed liabilities, which may expose the bank to risks arising from a decline in exchange rates, while values below one indicate that foreign liabilities exceed assets, increasing exposure to risks arising from exchange rate increases.</p><p data-end="2256" data-start="2004">Accordingly, approaching or reaching one is considered the optimal position from a foreign currency risk management perspective, as it reflects higher efficiency in matching the structure of assets and liabilities and reducing exposure to market risks.</p><p data-end="2634" data-start="2258">The ranking showed that 7 banks operating in the Egyptian banking sector succeeded in maintaining their presence among the top 10 banks with the lowest exposure to foreign exchange fluctuation risks as of the end of March

Acquisitions and Expansion Drive It to Claim the Runner-Up Position Among Banks in the Middle East and North Africa?Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:56:02 +02002026-07-30T14:56:02+02:00<p>Major acquisitions do not immediately reshape the rankings of regional banks upon announcement, but they can alter the direction of competition for years to come.</p><p>In a banking sector where balance sheets exceed hundreds of billions of dollars, the more important question is no longer which banks occupy the top positions today, but rather which institutions possess the ability to reshape the competitive landscape at a faster pace.</p><p>From this perspective, the recent moves by Emirates NBD Group raise a fundamental question: has the group already begun narrowing the gap with Qatar National Bank (QNB), the second-largest bank in the Middle East and North Africa?</p><p>This question comes after the group successfully reshaped the regional banking rankings during the current year, having overtaken Saudi National Bank to claim third place in the Middle East and North Africa by the end of March 2026. Its total assets rose to $331.24 billion, compared to $317.04 billion at the end of 2025.</p><p>Accordingly, the group’s challenge is no longer entering the top three banks in the region, but rather its ability to reduce the gap with the second-ranked institution.</p><p>While expansion through acquisitions has long been a core pillar of Emirates NBD’s strategy, the current phase differs in terms of the size of transactions and their potential impact on the balance sheet.</p><p>The group is no longer merely seeking geographic expansion, but is instead targeting the addition of large asset bases capable of delivering a significant boost to its business volume within a short timeframe.</p><p>In this context, the group announced in October 2025 the signing of an agreement to acquire a majority stake in India’s RBL Bank for $2.75 billion, in one of the largest cross-border acquisitions in the history of the Indian banking sector.</p><p>The deal was officially completed in late June after securing all regulatory approvals, making the group the owner of approximately 60% of the bank’s expanded capital.</p><p>The importance of this transaction goes beyond its investment value, as it represents the largest foreign direct investment in India’s banking sector, the largest equity capital increase in the history of Indian banks, and the first successful foreign acquisition of a majority stake in an Indian bank.</p><p>The deal is expected to add approximately $19.15 billion to Emirates NBD’s asset base, based on RBL Bank’s total assets as of March 2026.</p><p>The group’s moves did not stop there. International media reports in recent days revealed that Emirates NBD has entered discussions to acquire HSBC’s operations in Turkey.</p><p>Although no final agreement has been announced yet, completing the deal could add around $6.94 billion to the group’s asset base, based on HSBC Turkey’s total assets as of March 2026.</p><p>These developments come as Emirates NBD continues to deliver strong organic growth, with total assets rising to $331.24 billion by the end of March 2026, compared to $317.04 billion at the end of 2025—an increase of $14.2 billion, representing a quarterly growth rate of 4.5%.</p><p>For comparison purposes, and based on March 2026 data, assuming full consolidation of the acquired assets, the group’s total assets would rise to approximately $357.33 billion.</p><p>However, assessing the impact of these transactions is incomplete without comparing them to the growth pace of its main competitor.</p><p>QNB Group’s assets increased to $386.91 billion by the end of March 2026, compared to $380.67 billion at the end of 2025—an increase of only $6.24 billion, representing a growth rate of 1.6% over the same period.</p><p>This comparison indicates that Emirates NBD achieved, in the first quarter alone, organic growth exceeding more than double the increase recorded by QNB—even before factoring in acquisitions. Furthermore, adding the expected assets from recent deals raises the group’s total asset growth to more than six times QNB’s growth since the beginning of the year.</p><p>Despite this surge, it will not be sufficient to capture second place in the near term, as Emirates NBD’s assets would still remain approximately $29.6 billion below QNB’s, even after accounting for announced and potential deals.</p><p>However, this outcome does not reflect the full picture.</p><p>The gap between the two banks stood at around $55.7 billion before considering recent acquisitions, but declines to less than $30 billion afterward—meaning Emirates NBD has theoretically reduced the gap by nearly 47% through just two deals.</p><p>From a strategic standpoint, this development may be more significant than the current ranking shift. Emirates NBD has already surpassed Saudi National Bank and moved into third place, indicating that its expansion strategy is no longer translating into asset growth alone, but is now reflected in its regional ranking.</p><p>Accordingly, the key indicator to monitor going forward is no longer the absolute size of assets, but rather the rate at which the gap with QNB is narrowing.</p><p>If Emirates NBD maintains its current organic growth momentum and continues executing similar acquisitions, while QNB sustains its recent growth pace, competition for the position of the second-largest bank in the Middle East and North Africa could become increasingly close in the coming years—and may ultimately enable Emirates NBD to claim that position.</p><p>Therefore, the core message reflected by these recent developments is not that Emirates NBD is on the verge of overtaking QNB, but rather that it has first succeeded in redefining its position among the region’s largest banks by securing third place, before entering a new phase aimed at narrowing the gap with the second-ranked institution.</p><p>These deals may not immediately propel the group to second place, but they place it on a trajectory that makes such competition far more realistic than it was just one year ago.</p><p>Ultimately, the decisive factor in the coming period will be the group’s ability to sustain its expansion strategy in parallel with the growth pace of its competitors—determining whether competition for the second-largest banking position in the Middle East and North Africa remains a theoretical scenario or becomes a reality in the years ahead.</p>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13223https://en.firstbankeg.com/13223Mahynar MohamedQNB Group Solidifies Its Lead Among Arab Banks in Customer Deposit and Loan PortfoliosThu, 30 Jul 2026 14:48:09 +02002026-07-30T14:48:09+02:00<p dir="ltr">The latest «First Bank» rankings showed Qatar National Bank Group topping the lists of the largest Arab banks in terms of deposit and loan portfolio size by the end of March 2026.</p><p dir="ltr">This came after its customer deposit portfolio reached about $267.2 billion, while its loan portfolio stood at about $282.04 billion by the end of last March.</p><p dir="ltr">The Group continued to strengthen its customer deposit portfolio during the first half of 2026, reaching $267 billion by the end of last June, compared to $261.40 billion at the end of 2025, a growth rate of 2.15%.</p><p dir="ltr">Alongside strengthening its credit portfolio, which rose by about 2.67% during the first half of the current year, recording $285.99 billion by the end of last June, compared to $278.54 billion at the end of 2025.</p><p dir="ltr">Overall, the Group achieved strong performance during the first half of 2026, with its financial position rising by about 3.69%, recording assets of $394.72 billion by the end of last June, compared to $380.67 billion at the end of 2025.</p><p dir="ltr">On the profitability front, net profit recorded about $2.43 billion during the first 6 months of 2026, compared to $2.35 billion during the corresponding period of 2025, a growth of 3.37%.</p><p dir="ltr">Pre-tax profits saw growth of about 6.41%, reaching $3.16 billion during the first half of 2026, compared to $2.97 billion during the same period of 2025.</p><p dir="ltr">Net interest income also rose by about 9.47%, recording $5.19 billion during the first 6 months of the current year, compared to $4.74 billion during the first half of 2025.</p><p dir="ltr">In addition, net fee and commission income rose to about $788 million during the first half of 2026, compared to $668 million during the same period of 2025, a growth of 18%.</p>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13221https://en.firstbankeg.com/13221«First» Index: Competition Intensifies for Third Place in MENA Financing… Gap Between «SNB» and «Emirates NBD» Falls to Its Lowest Level in 5 YearsThu, 30 Jul 2026 14:34:04 +02002026-07-30T14:34:04+02:00<p>After years of a widening gap between Saudi National Bank (SNB), ranked third, and Emirates NBD Group, ranked fourth in terms of total loan portfolio, competition between the two has entered a new phase. The gap has narrowed to its lowest level in five years, placing the third position under increasing pressure for the first time in years.</p><p>Monitoring conducted by «First Bank» on the evolution of loan portfolios among the largest banking groups in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) shows that this shift reflects a clear reversal in competitive dynamics. After the gap continued to widen until the end of 2023, it began to shrink in 2024 and has maintained this trend through the end of the first quarter of 2026.</p><p>According to the consolidated financial statements of both groups, this gap has gone through two distinct phases over the past five years.</p><p>In the first phase, spanning from the end of 2021 to the end of 2023, the gap expanded लगातार, rising from $17.55 billion at the end of 2021 to $31.66 billion at the end of 2022, before reaching its peak at $39.20 billion by the end of 2023—an increase of more than 123% over two years. This reflected SNB’s clear advantage in credit expansion during that period.</p><p>The second phase, which began in 2024 and continues to date, witnessed a reversal in direction. The gap declined to $37.54 billion by the end of 2024, then to $22.14 billion by the end of 2025—a drop of nearly 41% in one year—before falling further to $10.69 billion by the end of March 2026, marking an additional decline of more than 51% in just three months.</p><p>This represents the lowest level in five years, highlighting a clear shift in competitive dynamics between the two groups, as the distance between them continues to shrink at an accelerating pace.</p><p>Performance in the first quarter of 2026 reveals the key drivers behind this shift. SNB continued to grow its loan portfolio, but at a modest pace, reaching $195.22 billion by the end of March 2026 compared to $194.44 billion at the end of 2025, reflecting a quarterly growth rate of only about 0.4%. This indicates a noticeable slowdown compared to the bank’s expansion rates in previous years.</p><p>In contrast, Emirates NBD delivered a much stronger performance, with its loan portfolio rising to $184.53 billion by the end of March 2026, up from $172.31 billion at the end of 2025, achieving a growth rate of 7.1% during the first quarter—more than fifteen times the growth rate of its competitor. This significantly contributed to narrowing the gap between the two groups within just three months.</p><p>These results suggest that the narrowing gap was not driven by a decline in SNB’s performance, which continued to post positive—albeit slower—growth. Rather, it was primarily the result of the strong momentum achieved by Emirates NBD in expanding its loan portfolio, supported by its diversified business base and broad regional and international presence, which enhanced its ability to close the gap in recent periods.</p><p>Despite SNB maintaining its position as the third-largest bank in the MENA region by loan portfolio size as of the end of March 2026, and Emirates NBD remaining in fourth place, the gap between them is no longer as wide as it was two years ago. This makes the results of the coming quarters decisive in determining whether the UAE-based group will succeed in capturing third place, or whether SNB will regain its credit momentum and widen the gap again to defend its position.</p>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13220https://en.firstbankeg.com/13220The Gulf leads Arab financing.. Gulf banks dominate 85% of the Top 100 Arab lending banks listThu, 30 Jul 2026 14:29:40 +02002026-07-30T14:29:40+02:00<p>The results of the «First Bank» list of the top 100 Arab banks by loan volume as of the end of March 2026 showed a continued concentration of Arab credit activity within a limited number of markets, led by the Gulf countries, which have reinforced their dominance over financing.</p><p>A total of 61 Gulf banking institutions accounted for around 85% of the total loans in the list, benefiting from their large balance sheets and broad customer bases. Their combined loan portfolio rose to approximately $2.54 trillion by the end of March 2026, compared to $2.46 trillion at the end of 2025, recording a quarterly growth rate of 3%.</p><p>Saudi banks ranked first in terms of loan volume, with a total of $849.70 billion through the participation of 10 banks, namely: Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi National Bank, Riyad Bank, SAB, Alinma Bank, Banque Saudi Fransi, Arab National Bank, Bank Albilad, Saudi Investment Bank, and Bank AlJazira.</p><p>The UAE ranked second with total loans amounting to $792.14 billion across 18 banks, reflecting the superiority of Saudi banks in terms of average loan portfolio per bank, despite the number of participating UAE banks being nearly double that of Saudi Arabia.</p><p>The UAE banks included in the ranking were: Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), ADCB, Dubai Islamic Bank, Mashreq Bank, ADIB, Commercial Bank of Dubai, Emirates Islamic, National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah Islamic Bank, National Bank of Fujairah, Bank of Sharjah, Ajman Bank, United Arab Bank, Commercial International Bank – UAE, Umm Al Qaiwain National Bank, Invest Bank, and Al Hilal Bank.</p><p>Qatar ranked third with a total loan portfolio of $449.81 billion across 8 banks: Qatar National Bank, Qatar Islamic Bank, Masraf Al Rayan, Commercial Bank of Qatar, Dukhan Bank, Doha Bank, Qatar International Islamic Bank, and Ahli Bank.</p><p>The Kuwaiti banking sector followed with a loan portfolio of $271.39 billion through 9 banks: National Bank of Kuwait, Kuwait Finance House, Boubyan Bank, Gulf Bank, Burgan Bank, Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait, Warba Bank, Kuwait International Bank, and Commercial Bank of Kuwait.</p><p>Despite both Oman and Bahrain contributing 8 banks each to the ranking, their credit weight remained relatively limited compared to other Gulf markets. The total loan portfolio of Omani banks reached around $87.03 billion, compared to $85.44 billion for Bahraini banks by the end of March 2026.</p><p>This disparity reflects that the concentration of credit activity is not only evident at the level of Arab banks overall but also within the Gulf region itself. Major markets such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar capture the largest share of financing, while the contribution of other Gulf markets remains more limited in size.</p>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13218https://en.firstbankeg.com/13218Yasmine elsayedAttijariwafa Bank Reinforces Its Lead Over Banque Populaire.. A Look at the Balance of Power Between Morocco's Two Largest BanksThu, 30 Jul 2026 14:18:17 +02002026-07-30T14:18:17+02:00<p dir="ltr">Comparing the largest banks doesn't just reveal their ranking by size, but also reflects differences in growth pace, operational efficiency, and profitability — indicators that shape the contours of competition within the banking sector.</p><p dir="ltr">According to March 2026 data, Attijariwafa Bank continues to solidify its position as Morocco's largest bank, maintaining a comfortable lead over Banque Centrale Populaire, the second-largest Moroccan bank.</p><p dir="ltr">This dominance is clearly reflected in balance sheet size, with Attijariwafa's assets reaching about $85.31 billion by the end of March 2026, compared to $61.06 billion for Banque Populaire at the end of the same period.</p><p dir="ltr">The lead isn't limited to assets, but extends to the funding base as well, with Attijariwafa holding a customer deposit portfolio worth $56.72 billion, compared to about $44.95 billion for Banque Populaire by the end of March 2026 — giving it a broader funding base and greater flexibility to support credit expansion and continued growth.</p><p dir="ltr">Attijariwafa also maintained its lead in financing activity, with net customer financing reaching $52.61 billion by the end of March 2026, compared to $35.40 billion for Banque Populaire over the same period.</p><p dir="ltr">This lead doesn't just reflect larger size, but is rooted in a faster growth pace in recent years. From the end of 2022 through March 2026, Attijariwafa recorded total asset growth of 41.4%, compared to 27.5% for Banque Populaire — widening the gap between them from $12.42 billion at the end of 2022 to $24.25 billion by the end of March 2026.</p><p dir="ltr">The same trend appears in deposits, where Attijariwafa achieved a growth rate of 44.1% over the past three years, compared to 27.6% for Banque Populaire, raising the gap between the two banks from $4.15 billion at the end of 2022 to $11.78 billion by the end of March 2026 — reflecting the bank's success in strengthening its ability to attract funding sources at a pace outpacing its closest competitor.</p><p dir="ltr">On the financing front, Attijariwafa combined both the largest credit portfolio and the fastest growth rate as well, with its loans rising by 34.2% over the past three years, compared to 22.6% for Banque Populaire over the same period, widening the gap between them from $10.35 billion at the end of 2022 to $17.21 billion by the end of March 2026.</p><p dir="ltr">The impact of this growth wasn't limited to business expansion, but extended to strengthening profitability; Attijariwafa recorded net profits of $374.97 million during the first quarter of 2026, compared to $161.35 million for Banque Populaire — confirming the bank's ability to convert growth in its balance sheet and banking activities into profits at a pace exceeding its competitor.</p><p dir="ltr">The strength of this performance is even clearer in efficiency indicators, with return on assets reaching 1.74% for Attijariwafa, compared to 1.04% for Banque Populaire during the first quarter of 2026.</p><p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, return on equity reached 16.86% for Attijariwafa, compared to 10.20% for Banque Populaire in the first quarter of 2026 — confirming that the bank's superiority wasn't solely a product of balance sheet size, but also reflects greater efficiency in deploying assets and maximizing returns for shareholders.</p><p dir="ltr">These indicators suggest that competition between Attijariwafa Bank and Banque Centrale Populaire will remain a central theme within Morocco's banking sector, though the current balance of power clearly tilts in favor of Attijariwafa, which has succeeded in widening the gap with its closest competitor across various key financial indicators.</p><p dir="ltr">Given this widening gap, Attijariwafa's leadership appears more firmly entrenched, at least in the short term, while the biggest challenge facing Banque Populaire will remain accelerating its business growth pace in order to limit the widening gap and maintain competitive momentum between Morocco's two largest banks.</p>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13217https://en.firstbankeg.com/13217First Bank«First Bank» list of the 100 most profitable Arab banks for Q1-2026Al Rajhi Bank Tops the Ranking, Emirates NBD Comes SecondTop 10 Banks Generate 11.25 Billion in Profits DurinThu, 30 Jul 2026 13:12:19 +02002026-07-30T13:12:19+02:00<h3 data-end="61" data-section-id="d3p6lt" data-start="0"><span style="color:#cc9933;">Al Rajhi Bank Tops the Ranking, Emirates NBD Comes Second</span></h3><h3 data-end="138" data-section-id="wtakt5" data-start="63"><span style="color:#cc9933;">Top 10 Banks Generate $11.25 Billion in Profits During Q1 2026, Up 2.2%</span></h3><h3 data-end="243" data-section-id="15g4h2i" data-start="140"><span style="color:#cc9933;">Top 10 Most Profitable Arab Banks Account for 57% of Total Profits Reported by Banks in the Ranking</span></h3><p data-end="471" data-start="245"><span> <span><span>«First Bank»</span></span> ranking of the 100 Most Profitable Arab Banks for the first quarter of 2026 revealed that the top 10 banks accounted for approximately 57% of the total profits generated by all banks included in the ranking.</span></p><p data-end="703" data-start="473">The combined net profits of the top 10 banks reached approximately $11.25 billion during the first quarter of 2026, compared with $11.01 billion in the corresponding period of 2025, representing a year-on-year growth rate of 2.2%.</p><p data-end="997" data-start="705">The ranking was based on each bank's reported net profit, converted into U.S. dollars to provide a standardized basis for comparison across banking institutions.
