CIM GROUP REPORTS A PROFIT AFTER TAX (PAT) OF MUR 116.1M FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Cim Group posted a PAT of MUR 116.1M, an improvement on prior year figure of MUR 83.4M. The Group’s Operating Income increased by 17% for the period under review.

The positive momentum experienced in the last financial year continued into the first quarter with an expansion of the lending book driving the growth in Operating Income. Measures taken to contain the increase in expenses across the Group also contributed to the satisfactory bottom line. Given the persisting subdued economic environment, the Group posted an allowance for credit impairment of MUR 149.8M for the period.

Outlook
The road to economic recovery remains uncertain, challenging and may take longer than previously expected. The Group will thus continue to exercise prudence whilst expecting some volatility in its performance over the coming quarters.
