Manila Bulletin
|August 02 2025
Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank) of the Ty family booked a 5.1-percent improvement in net income to P24.8 billion in the first half of the year, from 23.6 billion in the same period of 2024, fueled by a surge in non-interest earnings from fees and trading and foreign exchange (forex) gains.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the bank also attributed its higher profit to healthy loan growth, recovering margins, and improving cost efficiency. Pre-provision operating profit in the first half of 2025 rose 16.3 percent year-on-year to 39.1 billion.
“Our first-half performance reflects the continuing strength of our core businesses. As we enter the second half of the year, we remain focused on building on our fundamentals and implementing prudent strategies, which will allow us to continue helping our clients grow further as well as achieve our medium-term goals," said Metrobank President Fabian S. Dee.
