During the period under review, the bank’s interest expenses dropped by 10.7% YoY, whereas, interest income came down by 3.7% YoY. As a result, the bank’s net interest income (NII) observed a marginal increase of 5.3% YoY to Rs25.84bn during CY21.

Meanwhile, non-funded income (NFI) of the bank witnessed an increase of around 6.8% YoY to clock in at Rs8.92bn due to a 37% increase in fee and commission income, 13.7% YoY upsurge in foreign exchange income coupled with a 96% YoY jump in other income. capital gains on securities of Rs3.46bn, up by 23.6% YoY during the said period. However, capital gains on securities fell by 83% YoY to Rs291mn, and loss of income derivatives of Rs 25mn during CY21 restricted the bank’s net income.

Notably, the bank witnessed a massive decline of 98% YoY in its provision charges, standing at Rs45mn against the provisions of Rs2.25bn in the last year due to the absence of general provision which the bank charged last year amid the COVID situation, supporting the bank’s financial health.

On the tax front, the effective tax rate stood at 39% from 38.7% in CY20.
