CREDIT GROWTH SUPPORTS INCOME

Net credit facilities grew 5.2% from the start of the year to JOD 4.8 billion by the end of March, while customer deposits reached JOD 6.0 billion. The bank said the growth in credit facilities contributed positively to its total income, operating profit and market share.

Total equity reached JOD 1.4 billion and the capital adequacy ratio stood at 18.3%, well above the minimum requirements of the Central Bank of Jordan and the Basel Committee.

Al-Safadi said the performance was in line with the bank's strategic plans, and reaffirmed its commitment to introducing advanced, user-friendly and secure products and integrated banking solutions.
