Meezan Bank has announced a record profit of Rs104 billion for the year 2024, reflecting a 21% increase compared to the previous year. This impressive growth was driven by higher earnings from Islamic financing and strong investment returns.
The bank’s net profit and return rose by 26.73%, reaching Rs287.04 billion. Other income also experienced a significant increase of 32.84%. Despite a rise in operating expenses, the bank’s profit before tax surged by 31.51%, reaching Rs226.28 billion.
Several factors contributed to this growth, including an increase in fee and commission income. The bank also benefited from a Rs3.51 billion gain on securities. However, foreign exchange income declined sharply by 72.7% due to currency market fluctuations.
Meezan Bank’s performance highlights its strong position in the banking sector and its ability to generate higher returns despite economic challenges. The bank continues to expand its Islamic banking operations, attracting more customers and investments.
With this record-breaking profit, Meezan Bank remains a key player in Pakistan’s financial sector, demonstrating resilience and adaptability in a changing market environment.
