      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Faysal Bank Limited (FBL) has reported a profit before tax (PBT) of Rs50.4 billion, 22% higher than Rs41.4 billion in the last year, as it announced the financial results for the year ended 2024.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The bank’s net profit reached Rs23 billion and growth was confined to 15% due to the imposition of additional income tax,” the Islamic bank said in a press release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earnings per share increased from Rs13.21 to Rs15.17, it said and added that the bank also declared a final cash dividend of Rs2.5 per share, ie 25%. The total dividend for 2024 reached Rs7 per share or 70%. Furthermore, the bank’s total assets stood at Rs1.6 trillion, deposits at more than Rs1 trillion and net financing at Rs634 billion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, the bank has an advance-to-deposit ratio of 64.6% and a capital adequacy ratio of 16.5%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Masha’Allah, our results for 2024 reflect the strong foundations we have built as a leading Islamic bank, coupled with the unwavering commitment of the board, management and employees,” Mian Muhammad Younis, the Faysal Bank chairman, said.&lt;/p&gt;
