Emirates NBD has reported net profit of AED7.24bn for the year ended 31 December 2016, up 2% compared to AED7.12bn a year ago.

The bank attributed the rise in net profit to asset growth and higher recoveries that helped offset lower non-interest income.

Total income stood at AED14.7bn, a decrease of 3% from AED15.23bn a year ago. Net interest income dipped 1% year-on-year to AED 10.11bn.

As at 31 December 2016, the bank’s capital adequacy ratio was 21.2% and Tier 1 capital ratio was 18.7%.

The bank's Retail Banking & Wealth Management (RBWM) unit posted total income of AED 6.17bn for the year ended December 2016, an 8% rise from the previous year. The unit’s net interest income increased 7% to AED3.78bn and fee income increased 11% to AED2.39bn, driven by growth in wealth, foreign exchange and credit card businesses.

Emirates NBD group CEO Shayne Nelson said: “Emirates NBD delivered a solid performance in 2016. Net profit increased by 2% to AED 7.24 billion, underpinned by asset growth, a control on expenses and an improved cost of risk. The Bank’s stable and resilient financial profile were recognized by Moody’s in June when they upgraded Emirates NBD’s long-term rating to A3.
