    For the nine months ended 31 March 2023, AfrAsia Bank has posted net profit after tax (“NPAT”) of MUR 3.8bn, representing a significant increase of 261% over the prior year  (MUR 1.8bn). The Bank has continued on a strong growth trajectory marked by sustained core earnings and a steady rise in yield levels.

    Compared to the same period in 2022, AfrAsia Bank’s net interest income rose sharply by close to 300% to reach MUR 3.8bn, on the back of new bookings and investments in products bearing higher interest rate. The key contributors to the Bank’s NPAT also include net fee and commission income and net trading income, both increased by close to 24% to reach MUR 603.4m and MUR 1.1bn respectively as at end of March 2023 (March 2022: MUR 487.8m and MUR 887.7m). This rise is on the back of our new activity in trade finance business.  

    Total assets stand at MUR 238.1bn as at March 2023, up by 12% compared to March 2022. Loans and advances improved by MUR 10.2bn, reaching MUR 48.4bn at the end of March 2023. On the liability side, the Bank’s deposits base rose by 11% reaching MUR 222.9bn by the end of March 2023, reflecting the continued confidence clients have in AfrAsia Bank.
