October 26, 2018 (MLN): As per an official report on its financial earnings for the 3 quarters ended on September 30, 2018, Bank of Punjab (BOP) successfully exceeded its profits over the corresponding period of last year, by over Rs.2.3 billion.

The report shows that sizeable upswing in Net mark-up/return/interest income and reversal of provision against non-performing advances, has prompted the net mark-up/return/interest income after provisions to rise by 67% on the whole.

However, gain on sale and redemption of securities dropped by almost 98% while administrative expenses rose by 20%, both marking a change of over Rs.1 billion each, in the downward direction.

Even so, BOP managed to pull up its bottom-line gains remarkably, up to Rs.5.5 billion.

The company’s basic and diluted earnings per share have logged in at Rs.2.08 per share for the nine-month period this year.
