Operating expenses, however, increased 59 percent yearly to EGP3.4 billion in the second quarter due to the impact of the currency devaluation and high inflation.

EFG Finance reported revenues of 70 percent to EGP1.1 billion. Net operating profit was up 167 percent to EGP383 million.  

Meanwhile, aiBank revenues soared 39 percent year on year to EGP1.2 billion, driven by higher net interest income amid loan book growth and enhanced net interest margins.
