As a result, the bank’s PAT for nine months ended September 30, 2015 has increased by 84% year-on-year (YOY) to Rs. 579.8 million. Since 4Q2014, this is the fourth consecutive quarter where the bank has increased the PAT over and above 80% YOY demonstrating the consistency in its performance.

Core-banking activities made a steady progress under challenging economic conditions and the net interest income (NII) rose by 46% YOY to Rs. 2.4 billion during nine months ended September 30, 2015 largely due to growth in interest income by 36.18% YoY to Rs. 4.8 billion.
