February 24, 2021 (MLN): National Bank of Pakistan has reported earnings of Rs. 30.58 billion (EPS: 14.33) for the year ended December 31, 2020, i.e. around 84% higher as compared to the last year.

The rise in interest income by 7.64%, as well as decline in interest expense by 8.3%, allowed the Net Interest Income of NBP to grow by 44.66%. However, the non-interest income didn’t show the same momentum as it fell by 1.06% on account of lower fee income, dividend income, forex income as well as non-core income. It is worth mentioning that NBP saw a 265% growth in in gain on securities.

Against a 28.95% growth in total income, the bank saw a 4.36% decline in total expenses, which further helped in boosting the earnings.

Nonetheless, some setback was faced in the form of a 128% increase in provisioning costs, as well as a 28.12% rise in income tax expense.
