 Most banks’ income swells on higher interest income, return from govt securities

Most of the listed banks logged a higher profit year-on-year in the nine months through September this year, as the government’s money tightening policy led to an increase in interest income and return from Treasury bonds. Twelve of the financial institutions even secured a double-digit growth during the period, compared to the corresponding period last year, reaping benefits from the central bank’s move to tame inflation. Of the 35 banks listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), 22 witnessed a profit growth, 10 endured a drop in income, two saw their losses widen, and one had its income static between Jan-Sept 2022 and Jan-Sept 2023. During the period, the foreign exchange gain was not as overwhelming as it was last year for the Bangladesh Bank stopped selling dollars to private banks at cheaper rates from its foreign exchange reserves.
