GENERAL COMMENTS

 

RAKBANK has announced an AED1,203.5 million net profit for 2011, an increase of 20% over 2010.  Earnings were impacted as a result of the Central Bank’s recently introduced guidelines on personal lending but the Bank swiftly refocused its business towards SME and other lending opportunities within the consumer banking segments. Net interest income increased by 23.4% over 2010 to AED1,984.5 million.  Total advances as at 31st December 2011 increased by 12% over the previous year to reach AED18.4 billion whilst total assets jumped by 14.6% to close at AED24.5 billion. The growth in the asset book has been supported by a combination of increases in shareholders’ equity and customer deposits with total deposits growing by 11.73% to close at AED18.3 billion compared with AED16.4 billion in 2010.  Commission was impacted by the new rules on retail lending but overall other income grew by 7.9% to AED652.9 million.

 

During the course of this investigation nothing detrimental was uncovered regarding subject’s operating history or the manner in which payments are fulfilled. As such the company is considered to be a fair trade risk.
