JAIZ Bank Breaks Even, Records N158m First Profit by skak(m): 6:27pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
Jaiz Bank Plc, has declared a profit of N157.7 million for the financial year ended December 2014. By this, the bank has broken even after three years of operations as the first and only fully fledged non-interest bank in Nigeria. Chairman of the bank, Dr Umaru Abdul Mutallab, while speaking at the bank’s third annual general meeting, in Abuja, yesterday said the profit was a feat considering that there was no platform yet for the bank to make income from its treasury management activities due to the absence of Sharia complaint liquidity instruments in the market. According to Mutallab, Jaiz Bank could not invest in the normal treasury bills, bonds among others as they do not meet the ethical requirements of the bank. He therefore called for a national Sukuk bond, that would give them a wider range of investment opportunities. Also speaking, managing director and chief executive officer of the bank, Muhammad Nurul Islam, said the profitability was driven by continuing revenue growth, disciplined cost management and lower financing impairment expenses. Islam said the bank limited its expenditure growth to only 20 per cent, even expanded its branch network from 10 to 15 during the 2014 financial year. Shareholders of the bank, while commending the bank for the profit, however, called on the management to work seriously towards recapitalising it to fast-track its expansion to other parts of the country. The bank with 17 branches currently operates as a regional bank, licensed to operate in the north-west and north- eastern parts of the country, and seeks to increase the number to 25 by the end of this year. During the year under review, the bank grew its total assets by about 24 per cent from N33.9 billion in 2013 to N42 billion in 2014. Also, total earnings grew by 114 per cent from N11.5 billion to N24.5 billion, while total income increased by 220 per cent from N915 million to N2.94 billion by December 2014. According to the MD, the bank provided financing to about 1, 076 projects valued at N22.2 billion in 2014, as against 375 valued at N10.5 billion the previous year. http://leadership.ng/news/439795/jaiz-bank-breaks-even-records-n158m-first-profit cc lalasticlala |
