The GCC banking sector had a good year in 2014, with average net profit growing by 14 per cent, compared to 10 per cent the previous year.

The vast majority of GCC banks remain solidly capitalised with comfortable levels of liquidity – helped by growing customer deposits – and good profitability.

Loan asset quality for the sector improved further in 2014 through a fall in non-performing loans and an increase in provision coverage.

In Saudi Arabia, the sector was a bit more subdued, with average net profit rising by 10.2 per cent.

For banks in the Kingdom, economic growth and large capital investments, particularly in the infrastructure, SME and manufacturing sectors, continue to be growth drivers for the loan portfolios.

With the market opening up for foreign investors, sentiment has increased and is likely to attract more infrastructure investment going forward.
