Ecobank Group builds momentum in first half of 2026 as PBT increases to US$423 million

3 billion, up 15% year on year, and profit before tax of US$423 million, up 6%, supported by disciplined execution, operational efficiency, and the strength of its diversified pan-African franchise.

Alongside this growth, the Group improved operational efficiency, with its cost to income ratio reaching a record low of 48.

Low cost current and savings account (CASA) deposits now account for 85% of total deposits, supporting improved funding costs, while the Group maintained strong capital and liquidity buffers to support lending and future growth.
