The bank massively gained on securities by 304% which provided a cushion to total non-interest income.

However, operating expenses and other charges rose by 16.79% and 103.05% respectively, YoY. Provisioning expenses increased to Rs. 1.4 billion owing to accretion in non-performing loans.

Moreover, the tax expenses increased by 27.09% in the corresponding period last year.
