The bank reported a year-on-year (YoY) increase in gross operating income during the nine-month period. This was mainly due to higher net special commission income, net fee and commission income, foreign exchange (forex) trading income and income from fair value through statement of income (FVSI) financial instruments.
This was offset by a YoY jump in gross operating expenses as a result of a rise in employee salaries and expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, general and administrative expenses, and rent and building expenses.
This was in addition to a higher provision for Zakat and income tax as well as that for expected credit losses during the first nine months of this year.
