Riyad vs. SAB: First Half 2024 I observed a secondary game between RIBL & SAB, they rank 3 and 4 respectively in Saudi Banking sector, I have been watching that game for quite some time. With the announcement of first half results of 2024, I can see that SAB continues to push strong to takeover Riyad bank, we may see that happen in ~2 years, should growth rates of both banks continue at the same pace. Each bank has different set of strengths, client mix, revenue mix, network and international access to name few. 🟥🟦🔝🟦🟥 (SAR Million) Operating Income: 🟦 8,085 1.2% 🔥 🟥 6,939 10.4% Net Profit: 🟦 4,410 10.20% 🔥 🟥 4,061 22.54% Deposits: 🟦 276,008 1.37% 🔥 🟥 264,427 18.72% Assets: 🟦 405,028 4.05% 🔥 🟥 382,296 14.15% Loans: 🟦 291,051 10.60% 🔥 🟥 241,552 21.58% Provisions: 🟦 611 -46.20% 🔥 🟥 193 -47.41% Riyad bank clearly leads on all indicators, with comforting gap but slowing pace. The competition dynamics between the two reminds me of that between SNB & Alrajhi. I think the realization of merger synergies on revenue and cost is giving SAB the push it needs to grow fast and strong, in 2023 SAB lending portfolio outperformed the market on both Retail & Corporate, growing 16% & 18% respectively, compared to sector achieving 6% and 15%. (SAB Annual Report 2023) One piece of information that caught my attention was Retail Banking share of net revenue before zakat, where I calculated that for SAB results of 2023 to be around 18.3%, Riyad bank reports that at 7% only in 2023. Keeping in mind that there is almost 1 million customers advantage in client base to Riyad Bank. I look forward to seeing how this game will evolve by year end, wishing both banks all the best in their efforts to serve their clients and the society.

UAE Islamic Banks Achieve Record Growth The Islamic banking sector in the UAE has shown remarkable growth, with total assets reaching AED717.7 billion ($195.39 billion) at the end of February 2024. This represents an impressive 13.61% increase from AED631.7 billion ($171.98 billion) in February 2023 according to the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE). This growth is not limited to assets alone. Islamic banks have also seen a significant rise in deposits, which climbed to AED509.4 billion by the end of February 2024, marking a 15.8% increase. This increase of AED69.5 billion underscores the robust confidence and preference for Islamic banking among customers in the UAE. In addition to assets and deposits, Islamic banks' total investments have also grown, reaching AED141.7 billion by February 2024. These figures highlight the expanding footprint and growing influence of Islamic banks in the UAE's financial landscape. For context, conventional banks in the UAE also experienced growth, with their total assets rising to AED3.48 trillion in February 2024, up 11.7% a year earlier. Despite this, conventional banks still hold the majority share of banking assets in the country, accounting for 82.9% compared to Islamic banks' 17.1%. The consistent growth in Islamic banks' assets, deposits, and investments underscores their increasing role in the UAE's banking sector. This trend reflects a broader shift towards more diversified financial services in the region, accommodating a variety of customer preferences and fostering overall economic growth. The data from CBUAE highlights a strong performance by Islamic banks, not only maintaining but accelerating their growth trajectory. As of December 2023, Islamic banks' assets had already surpassed AED703.1 billion ($191.42 billion), showing an annual increase of 11.5% at the end of December 2022. This monthly growth trend continued into 2024, solidifying Islamic banks' position as key players in the UAE's banking industry. #IslamicBanking #UAEFinance #BankingGrowth #FinancialSector #EconomicDevelopment

Oman records fewer bounced cheques as e-payments gain popularity MUSCAT: The phenomenon of bounced cheques – a serious legal offence in the Sultanate of Oman – continues to track downward in significant part because of the increasing popularity of digital payment systems for effecting transactions. According to the Central Bank of Oman (CBO), around 362,000 cheques fell in the category of ‘bad’ or ‘dud’ cheques in 2023, primarily because of insufficient funds in the customer’s bank account. This compares with around 387,000 cheques that bounced in 2022, representing a 9.8 per cent decline year-on-year.

Positive performance by the banks in the exciting UAE, however costs will continue to stay a focus in 2024. As deposits continue to grow and rates stay high, this will put an even stronger focus on customers and processes. There is a lot to do to materially enhance customer engagement across all segments. Great report Asad Ahmed Tariq Hameed Sam Gidoomal. #digitalbanking #customerexperience #middleeast #banks #finance

The value of transactions within Islamic banking has reached EGP 701 billion. This represents a surge of LE 157 billion compared to March 2023, indicating a year-on-year expansion of 28.8 percent, according to a report released by the Egyptian Islamic Finance Association (EIFA). The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) introduced the Shariah-compliant EGX33 index in June, which features 33 carefully selected companies. This move aims to cater to the increasing interest from local, regional, and international investors in Islamic financial opportunities. Islamic banking has secured a significant presence in the Egyptian banking market, accounting for 5 percent of the overall sector. The Central Bank of Egypt has granted licenses to 14 banks to provide Islamic financial products, including three dedicated Islamic banks: Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt, Al Baraka Bank Egypt, and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Egypt. Furthermore, 11 other banks have integrated Islamic branches into their conventional banking operations. The branch network of Islamic banks has expanded to include 264 branches, witnessing a growth of 10 branches compared to the previous year. These branches cater to approximately 4 million customers. In terms of performance, Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt leads the market with a turnover of LE 217 billion, capturing a 31 percent market share. Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank - Egypt closely follows in second place, with a turnover of LE 190 billion (27.1 percent market share). Banque Misr's Islamic branches secure the third position, contributing LE 133 billion (19 percent market share). As of March 2024, Islamic deposits have reached LE 510.5 billion, reflecting a growth of 23.5 percent compared to the previous year. These deposits constitute approximately 6.5 percent of the total deposit volume in the Egyptian market. Financing compliant with Islamic Sharia principles stands at LE 576 billion, exhibiting an increase of LE 145 billion (33.8 percent growth). This amount corresponds to 5.4 percent of the total loan portfolio across all banks. #Egypt #Business #Economy | #مصر #الاقتصاد #تحيا_مصر #البنك_المركزي #الجنيه #الدولار
