CFC Stanbic has recorded a 33.6 per cent drop in
profits after tax for the nine months to September following a decline
in non-interest income.
The bank posted a Sh2.7 billion after tax profit as at end of September compared to Sh4.1 billion in a similar period last year.
CFC, which operates a branch in South Sudan, had Sh4.8 billion in non-interest income down from Sh6.2 billion.
CFC’s loan book expanded by Sh18 billion to Sh104
billion leading to a 20.9 per cent increase in interest income to Sh8.6
billion.
Its deposit base increased by a similar margin Sh14
billion to Sh113 billion. Interest expenses grew at a faster pace, 68
per cent, underlining the recent rise in the cost of cash.
The banks shares were trading at Sh90 each Friday.
