•

• The group's asset quality deteriorated slightly, with the NPL ratio increasing to 15.4% in Q3'2022, from 15.3% in Q3'2021. The decline in
asset quality was attributable to the faster 4.4% increase on gross non-performing loans which outpaced the 3.4% growth in gross loans
Going forward, we expect the bank's growth to be driven by:
i. Revenue Diversification - We expect the bank to continue to grow its revenue through the non-funded income as evidenced by the
16.1% growth of non-funded income to Kshs 8.8 bn, from 7.6 bn in Q3'2021, on the back of 66.0% increase in foreign exchange trade
income to Kshs 4.2 bn, from Kshs 2.5 bn in Q2'2021, coupled with the introduction of SC shilingi fund evidenced by a 9.8% growth in
other incomes to Kshs 1.0 bn, from Kshs 0.9 bn
