United Bank for Africa Plc has released its interim consolidated and separate financial statement for the period ended June 2022.

The report shows that the bank raised its profit in the first half of the year by 16% to record N70.33 billion from the N60.58 billion in the first half of last year.

This is in the face of increasing inflation which the economy continues to battle. Nairametrics reported that Nigeria’s inflation rate in the month of July 2022 rose to a 17-year high of 19.64% compared to 18.6% recorded in the previous month of June 2022, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

This consists of dividend income at N3.5 billion, other income at N5.19 as well as rental income and gains on disposal of property and equipment. Meanwhile, the other operating income of the Group includes the sum of N3.883 billion remeasurement gain from the initial 49% investment in UBA Zambia.

What the Bank is saying

The employee benefit expenses rose to reach N52.3 billion in H1 2022 from N42.6 billion in H1 2021 as the group noted that it continues to invest in staff training. It stated, “The Bank encourages participation of its employees in arriving at decisions in respect of matters affecting their well-being. To this end, the Bank provides formal and informal opportunities where employees deliberate on issues affecting the Bank and employees’ interest, with a view to making inputs to decision thereon.

“The Bank places premium on the development of its manpower. In addition to the routine online Executive Chat, wherein employees interact with the Management to discuss issues of customer and employee satisfaction, the GMD/CEO operates an open-door policy and encourages employees to channel suggestions and complaints to him as may be required.
