Banque Saudi Fransi (BSF) reported an 11% increase in H1 2022 net profit to SAR 1.712 billion, compared to SAR 1.549 billion in the prior-year period.
The bank attributed the increase in net profit to a 5.6% year-on-year (YoY) rise in operating income, due to higher net special commission income, foreign exchange income and other operating income, which was partially offset by lower net fee and commission income.
