Interest expenses increased to 47.427 billion rupees growing by 39.75 percent principally due to an increased demand for fixed deposits in the review period, resulting in net interest income growing by 16.44 percent to 28.242 billion rupees. Fee and commission income increased by 28.67 percent to 7.330 billion rupees and as a result net fees and commissions made a significant contribution, increasing by 29.03 percent to 6.151 billion rupees.
