Lending grew by an excellent AED 41 billion in the first half of 2025, and we now expect double digit loan growth for the full year as consumer momentum and business confidence continues. Emirates Islamic's profit rose to a record AED 1.9 billion, with very strong Customer financing growth of 13% in the first half of 2025, highlighting its position as an Islamic banking powerhouse in the UAE. The Group commands a 35% market share of UAE credit card spend as we processed more than AED 100 billion credit and debit card spend in the first half of 2025. We successfully launched the 'SHARE' credit card, cobranded with the Majid Al Futtaim Group, which became the Group's fastest ever card to reach 10,000 in issue.' Shayne Nelson, Group Chief Executive Officer said: 'Emirates NBD delivered a 9% yoy increase in operating profit, propelled by excellent loan growth and our ability to attract and retain low-cost deposits. The Group's ability to substantially grow income is a direct benefit of the strategic investment in our regional footprint, Digital and GenAI, helping to offset the impact of lower interest rates. Innovative products have successfully harnessed key growth areas, including Private Banking, Wealth Management, Escrow, regional corporate growth and investment banking. We have worked hard to nurture the UAE's leading deposit franchise in low-cost Current Accounts and Savings Accounts, which accounted for AED 48 billion of the AED 70 billion growth in deposits in the first half of 2025. We actively use big-data analytics for deep data mining, expanding new merchant acquiring opportunities and have over 50 active Advanced Analytics use cases, positioning Emirates NBD as a data-first bank.' Patrick Sullivan, Group Chief Financial Officer said: 'Profit before tax was AED 15.4 billion despite nearly AED 2 billion lower recoveries in the first half of 2025 relative to the very strong recoveries last year. Profit for the half year of AED 12.5 billion despite the impact of the new higher tax rate. The continued healthy credit environment and buoyant economy delivered a net impairment credit of AED 0.3 billion, leading to a positive revision on credit metrics. Healthy capital generation helped support extremely strong loan growth and the rock-solid balance sheet makes Emirates NBD a regional powerhouse, providing the platform for future growth. The investment in people, network, technology and products is clearly delivering new sources of income.'
