Its first quarter earnings were also four times more than its net profit

Customer deposits edged up by 6 per cent to Dh54.5 billion.
“The UAE banking sector remains resilient in the face of the international financial crises. Positive financial results, in addition to ongoing development of alliances both locally and regionally, reflect Mashreq’s strength and soundness to maintain operations and accessible services even when the economic tide turns. Our main focus now is on our basic banking operation and further cementing our relationship with our clients and partners,”
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair, Chief
Executive Officer of Mashreq said in a statement.
Mashreq said its net interest income surged by 18 per cent to Dh582 million compared to Dh493 million for the same period last year, while non-interest income such as fees and commissions, rose by 15 per cent to Dh645 million from Dh561 million.
