Stanbic Bank Uganda (SBU.UG), the country’s biggest bank by assets, on Friday reported a 20.7% rise in pre-tax profit in the first six months of 2023, helped by higher interest income.
A unit of South Africa’s Standard Bank Group (SBKJ.J), the bank said it had earned 263.4 billion shillings ($70.62 million) in profit before tax.
Stanbic’s net interest income was up 34.3% in the first half of the year.
Stanbic chiefly competes with locally-owned Centenary Bank and a unit of Standard Chartered in the East African country.
