On the other hand, the banks operating in the Kingdom incurred monthly losses in only seven months, since SAMA started to monitor the data.

 

The biggest losses were incurred in June 2020 at SAR 4.8 billion, after recognizing goodwill impairment losses from the merger of Saudi British Bank (SABB) and Alawwal Bank.
