“For the first time in over a decade, we reduced our Group-wide cost-to-income ratio to below 50 per cent through strong revenue growth, disciplined cost management, and operational efficiency.”

He noted that “our Consumer and Commercial Banking businesses continued to build momentum, generating $3.4 billion in new deposits, 83 per cent of which were low-cost CASA accounts. We enhanced our Corporate and Investment Banking capabilities, improved profitability across our major markets, and saw encouraging performance in the CESA region. These results validate our commitment to scaling with discipline and sharpening our customer focus across our network.”

Awori added, “We also made meaningful investments in technology, distribution, and customer experience, rolling out hundreds of new ATMs, enhancing our mobile and business apps, and growing our Xpress Point agency banking network.
