CIM GROUP REPORTS A PROFIT AFTER TAX (PAT) OF MUR 289.6M FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
For the period ended 30 June 2021, Cim Group posted a PAT of MUR 289.6M, an improved performance as compared to prior year of MUR 138.4M. Total assets of the Group increased by 4% year on year to reach MUR 16.3Bn.
The lending book continued to grow and the positive momentum experienced before March was supported by an encouraging May and June months in the retail sector, despite the second lockdown, subsequently reflecting on the bottom line results.
However, as the uncertainty persists, the Group continued to maintain its prudent approach with an allowance for credit impairment of MUR 349M for the period under review (LY: MUR 434M).
Outlook
The weeks following the second lockdown have shown some resiliency in the retail sector which was quite encouraging and the gradual opening of borders is bringing a breath of fresh air to the economic landscape. Nonetheless with bouts of successive waves of the pandemic being experienced across the world, the road to recovery will be long. Therefore, the Board will continue to exercise prudence and will implement appropriate initiatives as the situation develops.
