QIIB Net Profit Rises 5.2% to QR689m in H1 2025, Driven by Strong Performance

QIIB net profit rises 5.2% in H1 2025, reaching QR689 million, as announced by the bank following its Board of Directors meeting. The earnings per share stood at QR0.41. This marks steady growth in line with the bank’s strategic objectives.

The Board also approved an interim cash dividend of QR0.24 per share (24% of the nominal value). This is to be distributed to shareholders registered by the close of trading on July 28, 2025, pending Qatar Central Bank approval.

Sheikh Dr. Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah Al-Thani, Chairman of QIIB, emphasized the bank’s consistent performance. He noted that the results align with national economic growth and the bank’s efforts to expand its services. These include the customer base and digital capabilities.

In addition, he stressed that QIIB’s local market focus has allowed it to capitalize on growth opportunities in key sectors. He pointed out the bank’s strong credit ratings—‘A2’ from Moody’s and ‘A’ from Fitch. These ratings highlight its asset quality, liquidity, and capital strength.

QIIB net profit rises 5.2% in H1 2025, backed by net operating income of QR1.1 billion, which reflects an 11.6% increase over H1 2024, according to CEO Dr. Abdulbasit Ahmad Al-Shaibei. Total assets grew to QR60.6 billion, up 2.2% year-on-year. Net financing assets hit QR39 billion. Meanwhile, customer deposits rose to QR42.2 billion—a 4.4% increase.

Shareholders’ equity climbed to QR9.8 billion, showing 4.4% growth. The capital adequacy ratio reached a strong 19.65% under Basel III standards, signaling high resilience against market risks.

Dr. Al-Shaibei credited this progress to operational efficiency, noting a low cost-to-income ratio of 18.9%. The non-performing financing ratio stood at just 2.97%, fully covered at 100%, confirming the strength of QIIB’s loan book.

Beyond financials, QIIB continues to invest in community initiatives, including education, healthcare, and national sports sponsorships such as the Amir Cup. The bank also remains committed to Qatarization, developing Qatari talent through training and leadership programs.

In summary, QIIB net profit rises 5.2% in H1 2025, supported by solid fundamentals, a growing customer base, and a forward-looking strategy. This strategy prioritizes innovation, resilience, and national development.
