Botswana\u2019s banking industry profits are racing to near record levels, with the lenders delivering huge profits as the industry proves its resilience amid sluggish economic growth and unemployment.<\/p>\n<p>In the first five months of the year, nine commercial banks generated post tax profit of P1.2 billion, higher than the P986 million earned in the corresponding period last year. At the current pace, the banking sector\u2019s profitability for this year will likely surpass 2022\u2019s cumulative profits of P2.7 billion, which improved on 2021\u2019s profit of P1.8 billion and 2020\u2019s P1.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile FNBB\u2019s total expenses grew by 12 percent to P1.4 billion, reflecting increased investments in human capital and technology.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, the South African originating banker recorded its largest profit to date, raking in P1.4 billion in profit before tax, 18 percent higher than the June 2022 profit before tax.<\/p>\n<p>The banker\u2019s total income increased by 15 percent year-on-year to P2.9 billion, with net interest income prior to impairments up by 27 percent through a combination of volume and rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
