(La Nouvelle République)-In the first nine months of 2025, the pan-African banking group Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI) recorded a pre-tax profit of $657 million, representing a 34% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This result confirms the group’s positive momentum.
This performance stems from sustained revenue growth, disciplined cost management, and effective execution of its “Growth, Transformation, and Returns” strategy. Return on equity rose significantly, while the cost-to-income ratio reached a record level, reflecting improved operational efficiency.
Net revenue, estimated at $1.8 billion, benefits from the diversification of activities across the continent. Both loan and deposit portfolios have grown, while the quality of the loan book has improved thanks to a notable reduction in non-performing loans.
With these results, Ecobank establishes itself as a leading benchmark in the African banking sector, strengthening its regional influence from its headquarters in Lomé.
