CBI’s Revenue Surge Y-o-Y to $191.4 Million in 2024

Reporting an impressive performance driven by its transformation journey and unwavering focus on innovation and customer experience, Commercial Bank International (CBI), one of the leading banks in the UAE, said that it has achieved a pre-tax profit of $61.99 million. This reflected a significant 30% y-o-y growth and marking a historic milestone.

The total revenues surged by 29% y-o-y to $191.4 million, fuelled by increased business volumes, and gains from resolving key legacy issues, CBI said while announcing its financial results for 2024 in a bourse filing with Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).

CBI’s total assets grew by 10% to AED 20.9 billion compared to the prior year, while customer deposits increased impressively by 22% YoY, enhancing liquidity and improving the loan-to-deposit ratio to 89%. Additionally, the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio improved to 17.7%, underscoring its strong financial resilience and capacity to support future growth.

The strong financial performance followed the implementation of new regulatory requirements related to credit risk management, which further enhanced the bank’s asset quality, CBI said.

Enhanced cost efficiencies and robust balance sheet management bolstered profit margins, while the resolution of legacy issues significantly improved asset quality. These efforts, alongside the Bank’s innovative financial solutions, have reinforced CBI’s position as a trusted financial partner across the UAE.

“As we move forward, we remain dedicated to sustaining this strong momentum by investing in cutting-edge technology, enriching our product offerings, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement with our clients at the heart of every decision we make,” he added.
