DFCC Bank sustains growth momentum in Q3-2025
View(s):DFCC Bank has maintained its growth momentum for the period ending September 2025, underscoring its financial resilience and the success of its strategic initiatives.
The bank focused on balance sheet growth, recording a 26 per cent increase in loans and a 22 per cent increase in deposits – driven by a strategy designed to capitalise on the easing interest rate environment, it said in a media release.
This growth aligns with DFCC Bank’s continued support for national economic recovery through targeted lending. Reflecting broader market dynamics, private sector credit also showed a strong upward trend, fuelled by lower interest rates and a rebound in economic activity. The modest increase in interest income for the period marked a turnaround from earlier periods affected by rate compression, enabled by growth in lending volumes and a stronger CASA base.
In Q3 2025, DFCC Bank also marked a major milestone with the launch of Sri Lanka’s first Blue Bond – an Rs. 3 billion initiative to support ocean-positive SMEs and climate adaptation, further reinforcing its leadership in sustainable finance.
DFCC Bank PLC, the largest entity within the group, recorded a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs. 12,151 million and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs. 8,328 million from continuing operations, compared to a PBT of Rs. 9,559 million and a PAT of Rs. 6,013 million in the same period last year.
At group level, PBT was Rs.12,480 million and PAT was Rs. 8,530 million, from continuing operations, compared to Rs. 9,909 million and Rs. 6,308 million, respectively, in 2024.
