In a statement today, the bank said the operating profit is 14.9 percent higher at AED1.589 billion, with the operating income hitting AED2,242 million, up 11.1% year on year driven by higher net interest income and other operating income.

The result has been achieved by fostering a culture of growth and disciplined execution of our well-planned strategy. We anticipate a consistent result in Q4 and remain on track to deliver a record result for the full year. The group continues to deliver strong net profit growth, above target return on equity and with a CET1 ratio of 13.59 percent the group remains well-capitalised."
He added, "We continue to invest in new technology and have embarked on a progressive digital transformation programme across the bank to help us expand and improve services to our customers."
