Equity Group's Impressive Profit Surge in 2025: A Financial Milestone

Kenya's Equity Group announced its pretax profit for 2025 significantly increased by 52%, reaching 92.1 billion shillings. The surge was driven by rising interest income and reduced loan loss provisions. The group operates in multiple African countries, showing strong financial growth compared to the previous year.

Equity Group, a prominent financial entity in Kenya, reported a remarkable 52% increase in its pretax profit for 2025, achieving a total of 92.1 billion shillings, equivalent to $711.47 million.

This significant profit boost was attributed to a substantial rise in interest income alongside a reduction in provisions for bad loans. The net interest income experienced an impressive rise to 126.9 billion shillings from the previous year's 108.8 billion.

Moreover, the group's loan loss provisions saw a notable decline, falling to 14.5 billion shillings from 20.2 billion. This financial growth reflects Equity Group's strong performance across its operations in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
