The growth registered also rippled to the number of depositors who increased by over 25 percent to currently stand a little over 2.12 million.
Of the total 49.8 billion birr deposit mobilization, 9.3 billion birr or 18.7 percent stemmed from non-interest bearing deposits.
In the year, Nib’s total outstanding loans and advances stood at 39.4 billion birr that increased by 14.2 percent of the 34.5 billion birr as of June 30, 2021.
According to the report, the loan to deposit ratio of the bank was 79 percent at the end of the year, while the number of loan accounts have reached over 18,200.
The bank paid up capital has expanded by over 13 percent to reach 4.8 billion birr, while the total equity has increased by almost 16 percent sitting at 8.1 billion birr.
The bank’s asset now stands at 61.5 billion birr as a result of a 7.3 billion birr or 13.5 percent increase registered during the year in review.
In the financial year that closed June 30, 2022, the bank managed to generate 7 billion birr that increased by a fifth or 1.2 billion birr compared with the year that ended on June 2021.

Likewise, Nib’s profit has registered marvelous achievement and according to the annual report, in the year, 1.76 billion birr profit before tax was secured which is an 8.6 percent increase from the year prior.
