The National Bank of Commerce, on Monday announced it’s financial results for the year 2013 whereby its Net Interest margin on average Interest bearing assets increased from 8.98% in 2012 to 9.06% in 2013 due to improvement on the quality of loans and advances to customers and higher yield and increased volume on the market securities. Interest income expressed as a percentage of total income increased to 67% (2012: 60 %) mainly due to the increased booking of earning assets.
The NBC Managing Director Mizinga Melu said that the total assets from TZS 1,518 billion in 2012 to TZS 1,587 billion as at 31 December 2013. Growth is mainly coming from investment of the recapitalised funds. Loans and advances increased by 4.5% to Tzs 684 billion in 2013 from TZS 654 billion in 2012 ( an increase of 3.5% in 2012). This has been attributed by new bookings as well as conversion of customers’ asset pipeline.
“Customer deposits increased from Tzs 1,291 billion in 2012 to Tzs 1,305 billion in 2013. The increase is mainly attributed to liability campaign carried out in quarter four of the year.” Added Mrs. Melu
The liability campaign was launched in October 2013 and it required a customer to open and deposit into their Malengo Savings Account or to open and deposit into a one year Fixed Deposits Account. At the end of the promotion 13 customers won different prizes.
