Dubai – Mubasher: Emirates NBD recorded AED 36.70 billion income for the first nine months (9M) of 2025, as the lender continues strong growth momentum in both interest income and non-funded income across all countries, segments, and products.

Operating profit increased by 10% year-on-year (YoY), backed by outstanding loan growth more than offsetting the impact of interest rate cuts.

Net profits before tax jumped by 6% YoY to AED 23.40 billion at the end of September 2025, despite lower recoveries during the quarter.

Saudi Arabia continued to outperform, with lending growing 38% in the January-September 2025 period.

Emirates NBD’s Digital Wealth platform has boosted assets under management (AUM) up to $53 billion, strengthening the group’s product offering and wealth management strategy.  

Hesham Abdulla Al Qassim, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Emirates NBD, highlighted: “We successfully signed a $350 million aircraft financing deal with Emirates Airline, supporting the airline in the delivery of two Boeing 777-200LRF aircraft, further supporting Emirates SkyCargo’s fleet expansion and growth strategy.”

Shayne Nelson, Group CEO of Emirates NBD, said: “Our investment in RBL Bank is a testament to our confidence in India’s vibrant and expanding economy with our ambition to deepen Emirates NBD’s presence in our core markets.”

“We continue to outperform in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with lending up 38% in the first nine months, and our expanding network expected to reach 23 branches by year-end,” Nelson noted.

He added: “We are also expanding our digital ecosystem to deliver seamless, customer-first experiences; our digital wealth platform surpassed AED 5 billion in trading volumes within its first year of launch.”
