During 2019, global economies were hindered by a host of negative events, ranging from US-China trade disputes and Brexit- related uncertainties, to weaker emerging markets and fears of low interest rates. Just when we thought we would return to calm towards the close of 2019, the world was taken over by the outbreak of COVID-19, which later turned into a pandemic spreading across all the countries and economies of the world. Since then, global economic activities have been seriously affected by this viral outbreak and it is not yet certain what the extent of this pandemic and its impact on major economies of the world will be. Governments and central banks have quickly moved to remedy the situation, with several support and stimulus packages and other relief measures made available to help shield vulnerable economic sectors. It is now expected that global growth will be negative in 2020 before rising sharply in 2021, although the pattern will depend on the duration of this viral outbreak. With a weak economic outlook and uncertainty surrounding the extent and duration of COVID 19, loss of economic activity and elevated credit risk continue to pose risks to growth and asset quality for the Saudi banks. Despite these credit pressures, we remain hopeful that moderate growth will be possible for the bank in the coming years, with the support of government relief measures aimed at supporting the sectors worst hit by the economic downturn.

  • Samba Bank Limited | PPTFC 2
    The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited Rating Report Report Contents 1. Rating Analysis Samba Bank Limited | PPTFC 2. Financial Information 3. Rating Scale 4. Regulatory and Supplementary Disclosure Rating History Dissemination Date Long Term Rating Short Term Rating Outlook Action Rating Watch 21-May-2021 AA- - Stable Initial - 10-Dec-2020 AA- - Stable Preliminary - Rating Rationale and Key Rating Drivers Samba Bank has a healthy Capital Adequacy Ratio (“CAR”) (Dec20: 18.18%, Dec19: 17.98%). This reflects the impeccable risk absorption capacity, which is integral to the rating. The deposit base of the Bank suggests room for further improvement and deposit mobilization in order to strengthen Bank’s Advances-to-Deposit’s ratio and overall liquidity profile. With the issue of this TFC, the bank intends to augment its growth in high-yielding lending segments while creating a reasonable buffer in its capital ratios for risks that may emerge from the ongoing COVID-19 and its consequential stress on the businesses. The bank has a growth stance in the future and particularly intends to target the small and medium enterprises wherein the Bank has expanded outreach. The Bank is a subsidiary of SAMBA Financial Group of Saudi Arabia, which holds 84.51% shares of the Bank as of December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: 84.51%). Samba Financial Group ("SFG") (of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) entered into a legally binding merger agreement with The National Commercial Bank ("NCB") (of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) dated October 11, 2020, pursuant to which SFG was to merge with and into NCB in accordance with the applicable laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

  • Saudi Arabia Banking Pulse for Q1 2021
    Saudi Arabia Banking Pulse Quarter 1, 2021 FOREWORD Alvarez & Marsal Middle East Limited (A&M) is delighted to publish the Q1’21 edition of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Banking Pulse (“The Pulse”). In this quarterly series, we share results from our research examining the top ten largest listed KSA banks by assets, and highlight key performance indicators of the KSA banking industry. The Pulse aims to help banking executives and board members stay current on industry trends. Following the completion of NCB’s and SAMBA’s merger we have changed our universe to include The Saudi National Bank (the merged entity, SNB) and Bank Aljazira (BJAZ) instead of NCB and SAMBA, as the Pulse tracks the performance of the top ten banks by asset size. Hence, for consistency of comparison, all historical data has been adjusted to include SNB and BJAZ instead of NCB and SAMBA. The Q1’21 results of the new entity apparently includes financials of NCB, as a standalone entity, as the merger came into effect in April’21. SAMBA’s and merged entity’s pro- forma financials are not available for Q1’21. Despite economic challenges, aggregate net income of top ten KSA banks increased substantially by 34.1% QoQ in Q1’21. The increase in profitability was largely on account of decrease in impairments (-49.7% QoQ). Lending growth more than doubled to 5.0% QoQ. NPL/net loan ratio remained stable at 2.0%. With a coverage ratio of ~150%, the Saudi banks are well covered for any potential asset quality risks.
