"We are proud that Egyptian savers turned to CIB in these uncertain times, trusting us with over EGP 18 billion in additional deposits during the year. We, in turn, demonstrated our commitment to the market through the addition of 17 new branches to our network, more than any of our peers.
"Despite a declining rate environment, full-year performance indicators remained impressive, achieving record margin and efficiency ratios. This was greatly aided by the strong growth in our non-interest income to just under EGP 2 billion, driven by our trade services and foreign exchange businesses.
"The Bank took this opportunity to strengthen its capital base while boosting distribution to shareholders by 20%. Today, CIB is ideally placed to take advantage of any opportunities that arise as market stability returns in the coming year."
