Banque Saudi Fransi (BSF) reported a net profit of SAR 1.452 billion in the first nine months of 2020, compared to a net profit of SAR 2.6 billion a year earlier.

 

The 44% year-on-year (YoY) slump was mainly attributed to increased operating expenses (OPEX), higher impairment charges for credit losses and as well as salaries and employee-related expenses, which were partially offset by impairment reversal of investments, financial assets and others.
