The banking sector had a good first nine months of 2024: <\/strong>The health of Egypt\u2019s banking sector continued to improve throughout 9M 2024, with the sector\u2019s capital adequacy ratio (CAR) increasing 0.5 percentage points from the <\/a>end of 2023<\/a> to clock in at 19.1% by the end of 3Q 2024, according to the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s latest financial soundness indicators<\/a>report<\/a>(pdf)<\/a>. Banks\u2019 CAR remains well above the central bank\u2019s minimum threshold of 12.5%.<\/p>\n

Sound smart:<\/strong> The capital adequacy ratio \u2014 also known as the capital to risk-weighted assets ratio \u2014 is a metric that measures a bank\u2019s ability to pay liabilities (bank-speak for giving depositors back their money), absorb potential losses (from, say, bad debts), and respond to credit risks. The metric increases as the ratio of risk-weighted assets to capital falls \u2014 marking a healthier banking system overall.<\/p>\n

The report also showed improved asset quality: <\/strong>Non-performing loans (NPLs) dropped to 2.4% of total loans, down from 3.0% by the end of 2023, with the sector\u2019s provision coverage ratio \u2014 the percentage of provisions banks set aside to cover losses against their gross NPLs \u2014 reaching a robust level of 87.4%. <\/p>\n

Liquidity levels remained solid,<\/strong> with local currency liquidity at 32.1% and foreign currency liquidity at 77.7% \u2014 both far above the regulatory minimums of 20% and 25% respectively. Banks\u2019 loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 61.3%, up from 54% at the end of 2023, as banks put more of their clients\u2019 deposits to work by lending them out to others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
