News DeskAmman: Arab Bank Group announced a 9.3 per cent increase in net profit after tax for the first nine months of 2025, reaching $818.1 million, up from $748.6 million in the same period last year. The Group’s total equity stood at $12.9 billion, reflecting a solid capital base and continued financial strength.
The bank attributed its robust performance to higher activity in core banking operations and an expanding customer base across key markets. Total assets grew by 8.9 per cent to $76.8 billion, while the loan portfolio increased by 8.6 per cent to $37 billion. Customer deposits rose by 8 per cent to reach $55.8 billion.
Commenting on the results, Sabih Masri, Chairman of Arab Bank, said the strong performance underscores the Group’s “firm commitment to executing its long-term strategy centred on sustainable growth and enhanced efficiency in liquidity, capital, and risk management.”
He added that the results reflect the bank’s “ability to adapt to evolving economic conditions, navigate challenges, and continue providing advanced banking solutions that meet client needs across diverse markets.”
Masri also highlighted the Group’s strategic initiatives, including the expansion of its wealth management and private banking operations. He cited the recent merger of Gonet & Cie SA and ONE swiss bank SA under Arab Bank Switzerland as a key move to strengthen its private banking capabilities.
Further underscoring its regional growth, Arab Bank Iraq launched operations earlier this year, marking what Masri described as a “significant milestone” in reinforcing the Group’s presence across key MENA markets.
Randa Sadik, Chief Executive Officer of Arab Bank, noted that the Group’s “wide geographic presence and diversified revenue streams” were instrumental in maintaining operational resilience amid global economic headwinds.
She said the Group maintained solid liquidity levels, with a loan-to-deposit ratio of 73.2 per cent, and continued to uphold a prudent credit policy, with provisions for non-performing loans exceeding 100 per cent. The capital adequacy ratio stood at 17.2 per cent, well above the Central Bank of Jordan’s minimum requirement.
Sadik added that Arab Bank Group is continuing to invest in digital and innovative banking solutions to enhance customer experience and support sustainable growth. “These initiatives ensure the Group remains well-positioned to sustain its momentum and competitiveness amid the rapid transformation of the banking sector,” she said.
