Combined earnings (SAR bln) |
The rise was bolstered by improved earnings of Tadawul-listed banks, except for Al-Rajhi, which saw an 11 percent decline year-on-year in its bottom line. Lower operating income and higher operating expenses hurt the kingdom’s second largest bank.
Banks’ combined earnings were driven by an increase in net special commissions and operating income, as well as lower operating expenses.
Bank Al-Jazira, Saudi Hollandi, and Saudi Fransi topped the list in terms of growth rates.
