Yet the growth was uneven across its components. Corporate financing remained the largest segment by value, while retail financing grew at a significantly faster pace, materially reshaping the portfolio mix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="XmFruv"&gt;Corporate financing increased from EGP 21.78bn at end-2021 to EGP 63.18bn at end-June 2026, representing growth of 190.1 per cent and taking the portfolio to around 2.9 times its previous level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="VlWtui"&gt;It contributed EGP 41.4bn to the overall increase, accounting for around 70 per cent of total portfolio growth. Despite this, its share of total financing fell from 89.8 per cent to around 76 per cent over the period, reflecting the stronger expansion in retail financing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="OOmsc2"&gt;Retail financing, meanwhile, surged from EGP 2.48bn at end-2021 to EGP 19.94bn at end-June 2026, an increase of EGP 17.46bn, or 703.7 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="hArxcb"&gt;The portfolio expanded to around eight times its end-2021 level, lifting its share of total financing from around 10.2 per cent to nearly 24 per cent. This shifted retail financing from a relatively limited component into a far more influential part of the portfolio structure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="3VRRIn"&gt;The reshaping of the financing portfolio was accompanied by a sharp increase in its weight within the bank&amp;rsquo;s total assets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="JwMtH6"&gt;The financing-to-assets ratio rose from 29.5 per cent at end-2021 to 54.83 per cent at end-June 2026, meaning financing moved from accounting for less than one-third of total assets to more than half.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="kO53vG"&gt;The figures reveal a clear divergence between growth momentum and absolute contribution. Retail financing expanded at more than three times the pace of corporate financing, yet corporate financing still accounted for the larger share of the increase in value terms, reflecting its substantially higher starting base.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="DUkOBR"&gt;Even so, the sharp acceleration in retail financing was sufficient to materially increase its weight within the overall portfolio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="A0DeiB"&gt;Al Baraka Bank Egypt&amp;rsquo;s rise in the ranking by financing portfolio size therefore reflects more than a significant expansion in financing activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="gaK6B3"&gt;It also points to a notable rebalancing of the portfolio, with corporate financing remaining the dominant component while retail financing assumes a much greater role, resulting in a broader and more diversified financing mix.&lt;/p&gt;</a10:content><enclosure type="image/jpeg" url="https://en.firstbankeg.com/UserFiles/News/2026/09/16/13373.jpg"></enclosure><keywords>Al Baraka Bank Egypt,financing market,Retail financing,corporate financing,largest banks,financing portfolio</keywords></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">https://en.firstbankeg.com/13369</guid><link>https://en.firstbankeg.com/13369</link><title>Suez Canal Bank named Egypt’s Best Bank for Overall Performance Excellence in 2026</title><description>Suez Canal Bank has been awarded the Best Bank for Overall Performance Excellence in Egypt for 2026 by the Wor</description><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:44:15 +0200</pubDate><a10:updated>2026-09-15T15:44:15+02:00</a10:updated><a10:content type="html">&lt;p data-id="7lG1Di"&gt;Suez Canal Bank has been awarded the &amp;ldquo;Best Bank for Overall Performance Excellence in Egypt for 2026&amp;rdquo; by the World Union of Arab Bankers, reflecting the strength of its performance and the success of its strategy in reinforcing its position as an integrated banking partner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="KHJyIx"&gt;The recognition also reflects the bank&amp;rsquo;s continued business expansion and its efforts to develop innovative banking solutions tailored to customers&amp;rsquo; evolving needs and aspirations across both their personal and professional lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="dinu2k"&gt;The award was received by Mr. Shehab Zidan, Deputy CEO &amp;amp; Managing Director of Suez Canal Bank, during the Arab Banks Awards &amp;amp; Commendation of Excellence 2026 Ceremony, attended by leading Arab banking figures and representatives of regional and international institutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="7MmQ06"&gt;Commenting on the award, Mr. Shehab Zidan, Deputy CEO &amp;amp; Managing Director of Suez Canal Bank, stated that this recognition reflects the bank&amp;#39;s strong financial and operational performance and its strategic vision of delivering a banking experience built around a comprehensive understanding of customers&amp;#39; needs and aspirations across both their personal and professional lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="QCk062"&gt;Zidan added that the bank brings this vision to life through a comprehensive range of products and services designed to meet customers&amp;#39; day-to-day and personal needs, helping them manage their savings and investments, access suitable financing solutions, and support their business growth and professional aspirations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="N9CAJG"&gt;Suez Canal Bank continues to strengthen its role as an integrated banking and investment partner by offering a broad portfolio of solutions and services tailored to companies of all sizes, including corporate finance, arranging, structuring, and underwriting syndicated financing and debt instruments, and supporting SMEs through flexible financing solutions designed to meet their business requirements and growth ambitions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-id="BP6b9O"&gt;These solutions also extend to high-net-worth customers and business owners, enabling them to efficiently manage their wealth and businesses.

Mr. Hassan Abdalla &amp;ndash; 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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The AFSC portal represents an important institutional milestone in the Committee&amp;rsquo;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&amp;rsquo;s objectives and advancing technical cooperation among African central banks. The portal also highlights the pivotal role of the Committee&amp;#39;s Secretariat in supporting technical and administrative coordination for the Committee and its working groups, as well as managing and maintaining the portal&amp;#39;s content.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;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.
