Co-op Bank Group has recorded a half-year profit of Ksh11.5 billion, up 55.4% from the Ksh7.4 billion reported during the same time in 2021.

Compared to the same period the previous year, total assets climbed by 5.4% to Ksh603.9 billion, from Ksh573 billion. Net loans and advances made by the lender increased to Ksh330 billion, up 9.6% from Ksh301.2 billion.

Compared to 2021, investment in government securities increased slightly to Ksh183.2 billion from Ksh182 billion. The Co-op Bank Group’s non-interest income climbed by 29% to Ksh13.3 billion. As the co-op works with SMEs to ensure that the bank maintains borrowers, the lender has disbursed billions in small company loans, according to the Group CEO, Gideon Muriuki.

Co-op bank CEO Gideon Muriuki said that The strong performance by the Bank is in line with the Group’s strategic focus on sustainable growth, resilience, and agility. Banks are now lending to the private sector, and the first quarter of 2022 saw double-digit growth for the first time in nearly five years.
