Bad and doubtful loans from credit facilities dropped by 17.5 billion to 116.3 billion dirhams by the end of 2023. However, the bank revealed that its doubtful debt share decreased to 5.3% of the bank’s credit portfolio in 2023.
The higher return rates boost shareholder earnings from bank investments made with their funds and make the bank more attractive to shareholders, which is expected to increase the share price of the bank on the stock exchange.
The above success-radiating financial figures signify the banks’ increased profit distribution to shareholders relative to invested capital. The rising return rate is a positive health indicator for the bank, showing profit growth and financial efficiency.
