Nevine Loutfy: “Despite the challenges of the political and economic conditions the bank’s business performance indicators were encouraging” Final Payment of EGP 956 Million to Cover Provisions Gap Two Years Ahead of Schedule
Cairo – April 11th, 2013 – Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) – Egypt (Former National Bank for Development) announced its financial results for 2012, supported by several positive indicators. The results showed a net income loss of EGP 855 million including EGP 492 million after tax impact to close the provisions gap two years ahead of schedule. The Board of Directors took this decision, which was supported by additional cash under capital increase from the main shareholder,
Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), to completely cover the provisions gap from non-performing loans prior to the acquisition in 2007. Excluding the impact of the early payment of the provisions gap, net income loss reached EGP 363 million, an improvement of EGP 208 million or 36.4% compared to 2011.
Nevine Loutfy, Managing Director and CEO of ADIB Egypt, stated, “Despite the challenges posed by current political and economic conditions that have reflected on the banking sector, the bank’s performance was encouraging during 2012. The bank successfully carried out its strategic plan to develop all areas of business, to move steadily towards greater success, strengthening its position in the Islamic banking market. This was supported by the proactive step of covering the provisions gap at once and eliminating the impact of annual provisions on net income.”
Loutfy added, “The driver for this improvement was the substantial balance sheet growth with the new finances increasing by EGP 1.8 billion or 55% compared to an overall market growth estimated to be at 6%, while core customer deposits grew by EGP 0.9 billion or 8.6%.”
