Al-Masri emphasized that this performance is the result of the bank’s diversified business model based on broad geographical coverage, supported by a solid capital base, high asset quality, and comfortable liquidity levels, stressing his confidence in the Arab Bank’s ability to continue to achieve strong and sustainable returns for its shareholders.

For her part, Ms. Randa Al-Sadiq, CEO of Arab Bank, stated that the Arab Bank Group’s profits reflect the continued growth in the operational performance of the bank’s core business and its diversification, which enhances its ability to deal with the challenges facing the regional and global economic environment, as the bank achieved a 6 % growth in total income, through the sustainable growth of its business, the efficiency of its investments, and its diverse banking services.

Al-Sadiq emphasized the Arab Bank Group's commitment to a robust approach to business continuity and crisis and risk management, based on comprehensive plans that encompass various geopolitical and operational scenarios.

Al-Sadiq pointed out that the bank continues to maintain the quality of its loan portfolio and the stability of non-performing loan ratios, as the coverage ratio of provisions for non-performing loans exceeded 100% without taking into account the value of guarantees, in addition to high liquidity rates, as the loan-to-deposit ratio reached 72.8 %. The group also maintained the capital adequacy ratio according to Basel 3 instructions, which reached 17.2% , which is higher than the minimum required according to the instructions of the Central Bank of Jordan.

Al-Sadiq emphasized the leading role the bank plays in the digital banking industry by continuing to offer innovative digital products and services with global standards that meet customer needs and provide outstanding service across various sectors and markets.
