Its Q3 net profit of QAR 4bn ($1.1bn) beat estimates of QAR 3.83bn ($1.05bn). The bank’s operating income rose 24% YoY to QAR 25.6bn ($7bn) reflecting the Group’s success in maintaining growth across revenue sources. The bank’s NPL ratio was stable at 2.4% as of end-September, which Zawya notes is one of the lowest amongst financial institutions in the MEA region. Total assets rose by 5% to QAR 1.14tn ($312bn) and it said that its liquidity position was also strong. As result of its strong liquidity position, the loans-to-deposits ratio reached 96.1%. QNB added that it kept QAR 6.2bn ($1.7bn) as a precaution for potential loan losses.
