Zenith Bank Records N625.6bn Pre-Tax Profit, Declares Higher Dividend in H1 2025
Zenith Bank Plc reported a pre-tax profit of N625.6 billion in the first half of 2025, with gross earnings reaching trillions. The bank's performance was driven by a significant increase in interest income, loan advances, and government security holdings.
Despite a rise in loan impairment charges, the net interest income saw a substantial year-on-year increase. Zenith Bank's board of directors approved a higher interim dividend per share compared to the previous year, reflecting the bank's resilience in an inflationary environment.
The positive financial results position Zenith Bank as a strong player in the Nigerian banking sector.
