Family Bank of Kenya has announced its 2016 full year financial results with a sharp decline in the profits as compared to what was recorded in the year 2015.

According to the financial statement released by the bank, profit before tax was 664.6 million shillings down from 2.96 billion shillings in 2015. This was a 78 percent decline. Profit after tax on the other hand stood at 352.3 million shillings from 1.98 billion shillings in 2015.

The lender attributed to the sharp fall in profits on the Chase Bank as well Imperial Bank sagas that saw the two institutions go under receivership. Chase Bank has since recovered and is back in business. In the wake of the two sagas, customers in various banks withdrew their deposits for fear of the same fate getting their banks and Family Bank was not spared.

The lender however, witnessed a rise in net interest income by 5 percent to 6.71 billion shillings from 6.39 billion shillings in 2015. The operating expenses increased by 23 percent to 7.61 billion shillings from 6.21 billion shillings in 2015.

The slowdown in lending adversely impacted on the revenue growth of Family Bank of Kenya as shown in the image below:
