KIB's nine-month profit rises 30% to KD 26.6 million

Kuwait International Bank reports net profit attributable to shareholders of KD 26.57 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2026, up 30.14% from KD 20.41 million a year earlier, with earnings per share of 13.51 fils. Third-quarter profit was KD 9.03 million versus KD 5.58 million. The bank attributes the rise to higher operating income and lower provisions, partly offset by higher operating expenses. The Central Bank of Kuwait has approved the results, and the analyst conference will be held on 27 October 2026.
