August 28, 2019 (MLN): The net earnings of BankIslami Pakistan Limited for the half year ended June 30, 2019, stood at Rs. 612 million (EPS: Rs. 0.6064), i.e. nearly 288% greater than the earnings recorded in the same period of last year.
The uplift in net income was primarily caused by Net Interest Income, which increased by 77% during the stated period, due to higher interest rates.
On the other hand, the total expenses of the bank grew by 13%, mainly due to a ridiculous increase in non-core expenses as well as workers’ welfare fund.
The bank also suffered a substantial blow from income tax expense, which displayed almost tenfold increase over the same period of last year.
