National Bank 2007 Annualprofits up 72%

National Bank of Kenya pretax profit rose 72% for the financial year ended December 2007 to stand at Ksh.1.6 billion from Ksh.934 million recorded at the end of 2006. This was mainly due to the repayment plan of the Ksh.21 billion government loans through government securities that was announced in the 2007/2008 government budget reading.

National Bank of Kenya pretax profit rose 72% for the financial year ended December 2007 to stand at Ksh.1.6 billion from Ksh.934 million recorded at the end of 2006. This was mainly due to the repayment plan of the Ksh.21 billion government loans through government securities that was announced in the 2007/2008 government budget reading. The repayment plan made interest income to increase by over 717%. These also helped NBK save over Sh1.7 billion (a 74.38%drop) in loan loss provisions. The bank used the Ksh.21 billion to buy Treasury bonds, which are less risky than the government loan.

Customer deposits grew to Ksh.34.7 billion from Ksh.29.5 billion in 2006. The bank’s loans and advances to customers went down during the year by 57% from Sh26.4 billion to Sh7.8 billion.

The banks total assets went up 14.65% mainly due to a 355% increase in Balances due from Central bank of Kenya, 460% increase in Kenya Government Securities and 227% increase in Deposits and balances due from local banking institutions.

Share Activity
NBK did not declare any dividend as it has to shed-off some of the accumulated losses over the years which at present stand at Ksh.2.6 billion. In 1999 the bank incurred pre tax losses of Sh3.4 billion which the bank has been repaying over the years, hence denying shareholders dividends.

Product development

NBK plans to role out new products as well as reaching out to the un-banked population in the face of increased competition in the financial sector. The bank will embark on an extensive marketing plan and expansion to areas they deem underserved.
