Emirates NBD reported a profit before tax of Dh23.4 billion for the first nine months of 2025, a 6 per cent increase from the same period last year, supported by record lending and strong deposit growth.

The Group's total income rose 12 per cent year-on-year to Dh36.7 billion, driven by higher interest and non-funded income across all markets and business segments. Operating profit increased by 10 per cent to Dh25.5 billion, reflecting solid performance across core markets, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
