The bank recorded profit of ¢115 million in 2022 as against a profit of over ¢500 million in 2021.

The bank also recorded a Capital Adequacy Ratio, a principal financial soundness indicator of 33.42%.
This demonstrates the banks‘ ability to finance their long-term capital expenditures and ventures.
