Saudi bank profits rise

  • Saudi Arabia: Monday, December 30 - 2002 at 13:28

Interim results of Saudi Arabia's nine listed commercial banks show mixed outcome until September 2002, with overall net income dropping by 0.8 percent to SR6,188 million compared to SR6,238 million during the first three quarters of 2001. This decline was attributed to a drop of 15.8 percent and 22.2 percent in Saudi American Bank's (SAMBA) and Al-Rajhi's net profits, respectively. Meanwhile, the other seven listed commercial banks have continued to enjoy double-digit growth rates in net profits, as economic conditions continued to improve, owing to stronger than expected oil prices and record low interest rates.
