Standard Bank, Africa's largest lender, is taking strategic steps to expand its reach beyond sub-Saharan Africa. The bank has applied for a banking license in Egypt, a move that could capitalize on the continent's growing trade ties with the Middle East. CEO Sim Tshabalala's growth strategy includes expanding into North Africa following a strong financial performance in 2023, with headline earnings surging to $2.3 billion. Standard Bank's existing operations in 20 sub-Saharan African countries contributed 42% to full-year 2023 results. Under Tshabalala's leadership, Standard Bank is committed to sustainable finance and is on track to surpass its initial goal of $15.6 billion by 2026, underscoring the bank's role in Africa's green transition. With this move, Standard Bank is poised to continue its impressive growth trajectory and cement its position as a leading financial institution in Africa. #StandardBank #AfricanFinance #BankingLicense #SustainableFinance #GreenTransition

Our 2023 Global Banking Annual Review found that Interest-rate increases by monetary authorities across the world provided the biggest tailwind for the global banking industry in more than a decade with banks globally reaping a US$280 billion profit boost in 2022.   Africa’s banking sector echoed this performance, generating $22.3 billion in net profits in 2022, with an average growth of about 8 percent annually since 2021. Africa also outperformed the global trend with ROE of 15 percent recorded in 2022 and 16 percent in 2023, with some African banks amongst the most profitable.
