Bank of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Achieves Rs 2.54 Billion Profit in Less Than Four Years

Muzaffarabad, 12 Oct 2023:In under four years, Bank of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has achieved a profit of Rs 2.54 billion, a notable feat considering that prior to 2019, it took 13 years for the bank to realize a cumulative profit of Rs 1.78 billion, according to a press release from the bank. The transformation in fortune was distinctly apparent from the point when Mr. Khawar Saeed was appointed as the President/CEO in late 2019. At that juncture, the bank was witnessing a decline in its performance and the overall results were not encouraging, with profits lingering at merely Rs 134 million.

The adopted strategic approach to mitigate this critical situation included the implementation of modern business techniques, suitable and effective business planning, prioritizing objectives, directional guidance, professional training of the staff, and a particular emphasis on aggressive marketing. Essential actions were taken and business acumen was immediately applied in practice. Such resolute efforts turned out to be a game-changer, proving to be transformative for the bank under the direct supervision of the President and CEO. With the collaborative efforts of the staff and the support of the Board of Directors, a new journey of progress and success for the bank began, yielding uplifting results.

The bank’s profit doubled to Rs 301 million in 2020. During the second year in 2021, the bank quadrupled its profit, elevating it to Rs 458 million. The third year, 2022, saw a nine-fold increase in profit reaching Rs 961 million. In just nine months of the ongoing year 2023, the bank’s profit has already hit Rs 826 million. The spokesperson further mentioned that adherence to a robust and coherent business policy continues and it is anticipated that this year, under the guidance and supervision of President/CEO Khawar Saeed, with the unyielding efforts and teamwork of the staff and cooperation of the consumers, the bank will achieve a historic profit.
