Credit Agricole Egypt reported a 2.9% year-on-year decline in Q1 net profit to EGP 1.80 billion ($33.6 million) due to increased credit impairment charges and taxes. Despite this, core banking income showed resilience, with net interest income rising 2.2% YoY to EGP 2.86 billion ($53.3 million). Net fees and commission income remained stable at EGP 404 million ($7.5 million).
