Emirates NBD’s profit before tax rises to AED7.8 billion in Q1

emirates7 - Emirates NBD reported a 56% rise in profit before tax, reaching AED 7.8 billion in the first quarter of 2025. This strong performance was fueled by robust lending activity, a better deposit mix, and the introduction of new products, which collectively drove an 11% year-on-year increase in total income.

The bank also announced that its balance sheet had crossed the AED 1 trillion mark, supported by significant growth in both loans and deposits amid a thriving regional economy.

Quarterly profit surged by 56% compared to the previous quarter, hitting AED 6.2 billion in Q1 2025, thanks to increased income, reduced expenses, and a credit from impairment provisions.

Deposits rose by 5%, propelled by a record AED 27 billion boost in low-cost Current and Savings Account balances.

Loans expanded by AED 18 billion during the quarter, with more than half of that growth coming from the bank’s expanding international operations.
