ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka’s DFCC Bank said profits rose to 766 million rupees in the June 2020 quarter from 183 million rupees a year earlier, with higher provisions offset by a transfer of shares in Commercial Bank out of its mark-to-market portfolio.
DFCC reported earnings of 2.59 rupees per share for the quarter.
In the six months to June the bank reported earnings of 5.93 rupees per share on total profits of 1.8 billion rupees which grew from 906 million a year earlier when 851 million rupees was provided for a fall in value of Commercial Bank shares.

The bank provided 812 million rupees for loan losses, up from 469 million last year for the quarter and 1.5 billion rupees for the half year.
The bank had used Institute of Chartered Accountants guidelines in making provisions for loans on moratorium, as there was no reliable information on the impact of Covid-19 on its loans and the economic downturn.

The bank reported a non-peforming loan ratio of 4.95 percent, the same as December 2019.
Fee and commission income fell to 356 million rupees from 499 million a year earlier.
