The division’s net interest income increased 6% to AED2.81bn, and fee income grew 7% to AED1.73bn, led by wealth, foreign exchange and credit card businesses.

Emirates NBD group CEO Shayne Nelson said: “We have delivered another positive set of financial results. Income grew modestly driven by higher core fee income and asset growth which offset a contraction in margins. We continue to drive digital innovation.

“We are proud to take the lead in piloting the UAE’s first blockchain network for banking services and to open a “Bank of the Future” branch at Jumeirah Emirates Towers. Whilst we have seen increased delinquencies in the micro SME segment, which has prompted Emirates Islamic to take additional provisions, the Group’s overall credit quality continues to improve.”
