Success Story

American University in Cairo  
Educating Our Next 
Leaders

Located in the heart of the Egyptian 
capital at Tahrir Square, and now at a 
new campus in New Cairo, the American 
University in Cairo (AUC) is an independ-
ent institution of higher learning offering 
some of the most prestigious undergradu-
ate, graduate and research programs in the 
Arab world. As one of the Bank's preferred 
corporate clients, CIB provides AUC with 
a wide spectrum of standard and custom-
ized banking services. 

CIB has been a partner to AUC since 
1993. Over the years, the two entities have 
developed a solid relationship strength-
ened by the Bank’s understanding of 
AUC’s unique financial needs and its 
ability to address those needs using in-
novative tailored solutions.  In addition 
to managing the university's payroll and 
cash management, CIB devised a system 
that standardizes the reporting of tuition 
fees collected across its branch network. 
The success of this system has prompted 

the use of the same mechanism to facili-
tate wider monitoring of the university’s 
receivables. 

Consistent with its “people-centric” 
philosophy, CIB is also responsible for 
many of the personal banking needs of 
AUC faculty and staff. In addition to of-
fering them standard services and con-
sumer products, the Bank has invested 
in tailoring a personal loan program 
that complements the university’s HR 
policy. 

Operating on both university campuses, 

CIB has become an integral part of the 
AUC community. By offering a wide range 
of conventional and tailored banking 
services, the Bank has helped enhance the 
university’s operational efficiency while 
simplifying the banking experience of the 
younger generations. CIB expects AUC 
to remain the preeminent institution of 
higher learning not just in Egypt, but also 
in the Middle East at large.

CIB: An Introduction

What We Do

Commercial International Bank (CIB) is 
the leading private sector bank in Egypt, 
offering a broad range of financial products 
and services to its customers which include 
enterprises of all sizes, institutions, house-
holds and high net worth (HNW) indi-
viduals. In addition to traditional asset and 
liability products, CIB offers wealth man-
agement, securitization, direct investment 
and treasury services, all delivered through 
client-centric teams. The Bank also owns 
a number of subsidiaries, including CI 
Capital, which offers asset management, in-
vestment banking, brokerage and research 
services, in addition to the Commercial 
International Life Insurance Company, the 
Falcon Group, and Egypt Factors.  

CIB continuously strives to provide 
clients with superior financial solutions 
to meet all of their financial needs. Man-
agement believes this enables the Group 
to maintain its leadership position in the 
market, while providing a stimulating work 
environment for staff and delivering strong 
financial performance for investors. 

Our History

CIB was established in 1975 as Chase Na-
tional Bank, a joint venture between Chase 
Manhattan and National Bank of Egypt 
(NBE). In 1987, Chase divested its owner-
ship stake due to a shift in international 
strategy, and the stake was acquired by 
NBE at which point the Bank adopted the 
name “Commercial International Bank” 
(CIB). 

Over time, NBE decreased its participa-
tion in CIB, which eventually reached 19% 
in 2006, at which point a consortium led 
by Ripplewood Holdings acquired NBE’s 
remaining stake. In July 2009, Actis, an 
emerging market private equity specialist, 
acquired 50% of the stake held by the Rip-
plewood Consortium. Five months later, 
Actis became the single largest shareholder 
in CIB with a 9.3% stake after Ripplewood 
sold its remaining share of 4.7% on the 
open market in December 2009. The emer-
gence of Actis as the predominant share-
holder signalled a successful transition in 
the Bank’s strategic partnership. 

CIB is a leading 
provider of financial 
services to Egyptian 
households,   
institutions, 
enterprises of all 
sizes, and high net 
worth individuals.

Success Story

Al-Hokair Group 
Building Africa’s 
Largest Mall

One of our largest partners in commercial 
real estate, Al-Hokair Group is a leading 
shopping centre operator in Saudi Arabia 
and one of the region’s fastest growing 
property developers. With a span of opera-
tions including ownership and management 
of fashion retail outlets, restaurant chains, 
furniture stores, shopping malls and other 
related investments, Al-Hokair provides 
access to valuable retail space in prime 
locations across the Gulf as well as the wider 
Middle East and North African region.  
Our corporate banking division has 
provided financing and advisory services 
to Al-Hokair Group since its entry into 
the Egyptian market with the launch of 
“Mall of Arabia”, which will be the largest 
shopping mall in Africa once completed. 
Operated by Egyptian Centres, Al-
Hokair’s main subsidiary in Egypt, this 
441,000-square-meter piece of property 

located in Sixth of October City will be 
developed over the next few years at a total 
investment cost of approximately US$ 294 
million. Since the project’s launch in 2008, 
CIB has played a key facilitating role, 
beginning with the provision of payment 
security through a letter of guarantee 
followed by the extension of a time loan 
facility to partially finance the investment 
cost. 

Through the capacities of its Debt Capi-
tal Markets Team, CIB has since emerged 
as the primary financial advisor of 
Egyptian Centres, acting as lead arranger 
for Mall of Arabia’s eight year syndicated 
loan. CIB views its partnership with Al-
Hokair Group, currently underpinned by 
the Mall of Arabia debt facility, as a prom-
ising vehicle through which to capitalize 
on the enormous growth potential in the 
Egyptian real estate sector.

growth potential 
of the Egyptian 
economy.

Annual Report 2010

Dear Shareholders, 

As financial institutions around the world 
continued to weather the aftereffects of the 
global financial crisis, Commercial Inter-
national Bank (CIB) proudly reported out-
standing financial results for 2010 as Egypt 
sustained robust economic growth and 
maintained a leading share of Africa’s for-
eign direct investment inflows. A testament 
to the strength of CIB’s business model, we 
attribute much of the Bank’s recent success 
to a number of initiatives taken over the 
past year. In addition to launching new 
products and services across the client spec-
trum, we have also sought to improve CIB’s 
corporate culture from within by focusing 
more on clients, by increasing inter-depart-
mental synergy, and by expanding our CSR 
activities. But before delivering an overview 
of our accomplishments for the year just 
past and outlining our vision for the future, 
a brief word about the circumstances cur-
rently facing Egypt is in order.  

As I write this, Egypt finds itself face-to-
face with an opportunity of historic dimen-
sions. Following almost a month of protests, 
the people of this great nation discovered 
that building a better future for our children 
did not have to be just a dream. While the 
situation in Egypt continues to unfold and 
pose short-term economic uncertainties, we 
at CIB believe that the emergence of a more 
democratic and transparent political system 
will encourage higher levels of investment 
in Egypt in the long-run and contribute to 
even more sustainable economic growth. 
We serve end-consumers and corporate 
clients alike, and in the current context, CIB 
will continue to expand our products and 
services across our broad client spectrum 
as we seek to help these individuals and 
companies grow and contribute to the con-
tinued economic success of Egypt. 

Notwithstanding the short-term uncer-
tainties facing the Egyptian economy, CIB’s 
performance in 2010 added yet another 
outstanding year to our institution’s long 
history of success. We ended the year just past 
with consolidated net profits of EGP 2,006 
million, a 15% increase over 2009 reflecting 
a return on average equity of 25.72% and a 
return on average assets of 2.87%. Notably, 
the Bank outpaced market growth in several 

areas, growing its loan book by over 26% 
while increasing its market share in the cards 
business, particularly with POS and other ac-
ceptance points. While correlated to a robust 
domestic consumer market, our increasing 
profitability can be attributed to a number of 
initiatives taken across all business segments. 
As part of our commitment to imple-
menting a more “client-centric” approach 
in our businesses, we expanded our scope 
of services to all customers while devoting 
special attention to those still in the process 
of rebounding from the economic down-
turn of the past few years. 

Building on the infrastructure we 
established for our Consumer Banking 
segment in 2009, CIB followed through by 
improving existing services and launching 
new ones. Our firm belief in the need for 
Egyptian retail customers to do more to 
maximize the value of their assets led us to 
expand the reach of our wealth manage-
ment services. This project saw CIB add 
wealth management desks to 30 different 
branches throughout the country in 2010, 
significantly increasing the geographic 
scope of this service. CIB also registered 
outstanding growth in personal and auto 
loans, as net growth in retail lending 
exceeded 46%. Finally, CIB also launched a 
number of new services under the umbrella 
of Consumer Banking, including a pay-
roll program for companies as well as the 
Hemaya Fund, a new capital protected asset 
management vehicle.

CIB has a legacy 
of promoting 
social solidarity in 
Egypt, targeting 
disadvantaged 
segments of society 
through a variety 
of institutions and 
initiatives. 

Applying the same strategy of expanding 

and deepening client coverage, CIB made 
significant leaps in the institutional banking 
segment. As 2010 presented certain chal-
lenges to members of the business commu-
nity, we worked especially hard to support 
our corporate clients to raise and re-finance 
their debt in light of insufficient foreign cur-
rency sourcing. At the same time, we also 
re-organized our corporate banking group 
along industry lines in order to enhance 
our ability to focus on each client’s specific 
needs. In addition to re-structuring and 
re-organizing the existing departments of 
Institutional Banking, CIB developed new 
operational areas, notably by launching 
global transactional services (GTS) as well 
as non-funded solutions for foreign cur-
rency transactions. 

CIB made enormous leaps in 2010 partly 
thanks to organisational reform leading to 
greater internal efficiency, but I also attrib-
ute our success to a wider shift in our collec-
tive mentality. In this respect, we do not 
seek simply to maintain decorum, enforce 
the highest standards of mutual respect 
between staff, and uphold best practices in 
corporate governance; here at CIB, we also 
strive to make every employee and cus-
tomer a stakeholder not only in the Bank, 
but in Egyptian society as a whole. Beyond 
our pursuit of solid financial performance, 
our mission here has been to channel our 
success to benefit the country on a more 
global level. It is thus my pleasure to say that 
CIB has been a pioneer in effecting signifi-
cant social change throughout this nation 
by expanding our non-banking corporate 
social responsibility initiatives. 

CIB has a legacy of promoting social 

solidarity in Egypt, targeting disadvantaged 
segments of society through a number of 
outlets including its finance program and in-
ternational donors fund division. One of the 
leading partners of Egyptian SME’s, the Bank 
uses development funds to create job op-
portunities and establish income generating 
projects in rural communities while empha-
sizing the needs of women and small farmers. 
Adding to our efforts to reduce poverty 
and increase national income, CIB has also 
engaged in microfinance, having disbursed 
86,000 micro-loans to date since 2007. 

In addition to targeting SME’s, the biggest 

drivers of economic growth, CIB has also 
sought to launch other sustainable initia-
tives, and in May 2010 established the CIB 
Foundation, a non-profit organization dedi-
cated to enhancing health and nutritional 
services for underprivileged children in 
Egypt. Endowed with a donation equivalent 
to a fixed percentage of the Bank’s annual 
profits, the CIB Foundation partners with 
some of the country’s foremost community 
leaders and development specialists in order 
to deliver change to local communities. 
The Foundation has already made major 
contributions in child healthcare, most no-
tably in partnership with the Magdi Yacoub 
Foundation in Aswan and Abou El Reesh 
Children’s Hospital in Mounira, Cairo. In 
addition to financing the cost of surgical 
procedures and hospital expansions, the 
CIB Foundation engages in community 
awareness initiatives, a testament to the 
organization’s multi-dimensional approach 
in advancing its CSR agenda. 

Looking forward, CIB embraces the 
myriad challenges facing Egypt as we 
embark on a new chapter in our nation’s 
history. We will continue to grow our insti-
tutional and consumer banking segments, 
and lobby for reform on issues which affect 
our customers, such as the area of mortgage 
finance, critical to the retail segment and 
key to greater social stability in Egypt. In 
philanthropy, we will build on the success-
es of the CIB Foundation while initiating 
action on social problems which remain 
endemic, such as human trafficking, as we 
aim to become one of Egypt’s most respon-
sible corporate citizens. 

The international community has long 

called for greater democracy and social 
justice in Egypt, and the transforma-
tion that began at the beginning of 2011 
presents us with a window of opportunity 
to accelerate the forces of modernization 
and economic liberalization already set in 
motion. 

With the continued support of our 
global partners and sustained efforts of 
our local offices, I am confident that CIB 
will continue to play a crucial role in 
harnessing Egypt’s growth potential as 
we ensure that the society we leave for our 
children is not only a richer one, but also a 
healthier one.

Success Story

Juhayna  
Providing Healthy,  
Affordable Food Products

One of CIB’s valued partners in the food 
and beverage industry, the Juhayna Group 
has played a pre-eminent role in the re-
vival of Egypt’s market for packaged juice 
and dairy products. Established in 1983, 
Juhayna has since diversified its product 
offering and expanded its geographic 
reach, now exporting to markets as varied 
as the Arabian Gulf, Europe and the 
United States. CIB facilitated this growth 
at many pivotal moments in the com-
pany’s history by providing it with crucial 
financial services, helping Juhayna grow 
into one of MENA’s top listed consumer 
foods companies. 

Initially geared towards supplying the 

Egyptian market with staple  products 
such as milk, plain yogurt and a range 
of juices, Juhayna began targeting ex-
port markets and launching new brands 
as early as 1988. These developments 
culminated in 2001 when the company 
increased its paid-in capital by EGP 60 

million to double its production capacity 
and capture a share of the growing Middle 
East and African export markets. CIB 
assisted Juhayna in arranging the credit 
facilities needed to fuel these expansions, 
and also helped finance the company’s 
acquisition of assets belonging to The 
Egyptian Company for Dairy Products, 
owned by local rival Domty in 2005. 

This long history of cooperation with 
Juhayna led CIB most recently to arrange 
a credit facility to finance the reconstruc-
tion of one of the group’s factories after 
it burned down in April 2010, while the 
Bank has also periodically advised Ju-
hayna on the restructuring of its debt. 

Producers such as Juhayna are rapidly 
bolstering Egypt’s position as a regional 
leader in the export of fruit juices and 
dairy products, and this is one of the 
many reasons why CIB sees Juhayna not 
only as a valuable business partner, but 
also as a champion of Egyptian industry.

Board Of Directors’ Report

Board of Directors’ Report

CIB has been working for the past two years 
to change the culture of the institution, 
to break the “silo mentality”, to develop a 
corporate culture that is receptive to change 
and to become an internationally-renowned 
institution. We have spent these years 
preparing for this change and studying 
opportunities in the local and international 
markets. Today, our country has undergone a 
fundamental transformation and has the op-
portunity to become the Egypt we hoped it 
could be. CIB is uniquely positioned to grow 
and help our country achieve its potential 
going forward. For many years, CIB has been 
viewed as a local model for international 
standards. We have worked hard to earn this 
reputation. In 2010, CIB once again delivered 
record profits and consistent operational 
results, reinforcing its leadership within the 
Egyptian banking sector. The following is a 
review of our results as well as the significant 
events and changes that took place over the 
past year.

2010 Macroeconomic Overview
Throughout the global economic turmoil of 
recent years, emerging market economies 
have proven to be better positioned than 
developed economies both structurally 
and fundamentally to withstand crises and 
deliver growth. 

In fact, the Middle East and North Africa 
(MENA) region is in a substantially stronger 
position to face a global crisis and deliver 
growth than it was at the beginning of the 
decade. Across the region, economic reform 
programs adopted over the past five years 
have resulted in structurally stronger econo-
mies and allowed greater flexibility in policy 
responses to support growth. 

Egypt is no exception, with among the 
most potential for sustainable growth in 
the region, backed by solid fundamentals 
and growth drivers. Egypt had posted real 
GDP growth of 5.5% as of July/September 
of FY 2010/2011, up from 5.4% in Q4 of FY 
2009/2010. Growth drivers include Suez 
Canal revenues surging by 14.7% as of July/
September 2010 compared to the same pe-
riod last year, in addition to signs of recovery 
in receipts, where the volume of non-oil 
exports increased by 12% during Q1 of 2011 

compared to Q1 of 2010. This performance is 
attributable to a number of factors includ-
ing Egypt’s attractive demographic profile, 
monetary stability, under-penetrated and 
under-leveraged economy, the sizeable con-
tribution of domestic consumption to GDP, 
and relatively low-cost factors of production. 
Moreover, inflation has slid on a declining 
trend, recording 10.3% as of December 2010. 
These positive results have proceeded from a 
backdrop of broad structural and economic 
reforms, an improved business environment 
and appropriate crisis management. 

The year 2011 began with ambiguity; 
Egypt has experienced significant political 
unrest which will invariably impact the lives 
of all Egyptians. While the speed and extent 
of the recovery of economic activity will be 
determined by the length of time required 
for the current situation to be resolved, the 
fundamentals of the Egyptian economy 
are strong, and the economy will be able to 
weather the crisis.

2010 Highlights 
Both the domestic and international invest-
ment communities have for the past 10 
years viewed CIB as a reflection of Egypt’s 
economic potential. Our performance and 
strategy throughout that time has turned 
our institution into a benchmark for the 
country and the region’s financial spec-
trum. This reputation was earned through 
the dedication and hard work of all of our 
staff.

In 2010, CIB once again retained its posi-

tion as a leader in the Egyptian banking 
sector and stood out for its dynamic and 
successful business model based on the fol-
lowing key pillars:

1.  Effective Risk Management

 CIB’s Risk Management policies have 
retained the confidence and trust of all 
stakeholders. 

2.   Robust Capital Structure and High 
Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR)
 The recent developments in the world 
economy have shown the importance 
of robust equity capital. At EGP 5.9 
billion, CIB boasts the highest paid-in 

For many years, 
CIB has been

capital of any bank in Egypt. And while 
the Central Bank of Egypt stipulates a 
minimum CAR of 10%, CIB has a CAR 
of 14.41%.

economic circumstances and continuous 
changes in market demands. 

7.   Customer Oriented and Innovative 

Financial Solutions

3.   A Reliable and Diversified Deposit 

Base
 CIB enjoys a robust deposit structure, 
capitalizing on an extensive branch 
network. In 2010, CIB achieved a 16% 
growth in deposits, increasing its market 
share from 6.33% in December 2009 to 
6.64% in November 2010. Individual 
deposits constitute 66% of total deposits.

4.  Loans to Deposits Ratio (LDR)

 Our strong focus on customer satisfac-
tion and growing our share of the loan 
market, while at the same time preserv-
ing sound risk management policies, 
enabled us to increase our market share 
in lending to 7.77% as of November 2010 
from 6.66% in December 2009. CIB 
recorded an LDR of 57.84%.

5.  Asset Quality

 Preserving asset quality constitutes an in-
tegral part of effective risk management. 
To that end, CIB favours growth with a 
high quality portfolio. Identifying and 
capitalizing on market opportunities as 
they arise has always been a key tenet of 
CIB’s strategy. We provide loan facilities 
to companies from most industry sectors 
only after conducting a thorough review 
of the management. Applying stringent 
risk assessment measures ensures posi-
tive transaction outcomes, especially in 
sectors that are vulnerable to interna-
tional trade and have a high obsolescence 
risk. CIB recorded a 2.73% Non-Perform-
ing Loan (NPL) ratio in 2010.

6.   Strong and Longstanding Customer 

Relationships 
 Maintaining and building on our rela-
tionships with clients has always been an 
integral focus of our business model, and 
over the years, we have established long-
term relationships with our customers. 
As such, we have constantly managed 
to adjust our strategy to the prevailing 

   In addition to being the bank of choice 
for over 700 of Egypt’s largest corpora-
tions, CIB is constantly expanding its 
product range to cover all its clients’ 
financial needs, as our primary objective 
is to be the best provider of conventional 
banking services to corporate clients, 
retail customers and mid-cap companies 
in Egypt. Accordingly, we have empha-
sized and heavily invested in the quality 
and breadth of products and services that 
would allow the Bank to penetrate new 
segments and target various customers.
     On the institutional side, CIB under-
took a number of initiatives to enhance 
product offerings, including the launch 
of GTS (Global Transaction Services) 
as well as greater focus on mid-cap and 
GCR (Global Customer Relations). 

     On the consumer banking front, CIB 
has built a robust consumer risk infra-
structure including Specialized and 
Centralized Underwriting, Collections 
and Portfolio Monitoring units to ef-
fectively manage Consumer Credit Cycle 
and support aggressive growth plans 
on the anvil. Throughout the course of 
the year several product offerings were 
launched. Offerings such as the Hemaya 
Fund (a capital-protected fund launched 
in July 2010), Bancassurance, and Busi-
ness banking will further deepen CIB’s 
footprint on the Consumer Banking map 
and help the Bank realize its mission of 
achieving the highest customer satisfac-
tion in the market and creating a one-
stop-shop for banking services. 

     Competing with a tough market and 
a challenging global environment, the 
COO Area has also been proactive in key 
initiatives and worked with the business 
to enhance the revenues of the Bank. 
Efficient use of head count in the COO 
Area, better vendor management, and 
sustained progress on T24 implementa-
tion as well as implementation of key 
bank projects such as online banking and

trade portal, a well-defined HR strategy, 
centralization of operational activities, 
implementation of MIS, and implemen-
tation of International Financial Report-
ing Standards (IFRS) have been some of 
the tasks completed in 2010. At the same 
time, several initiatives were undertaken 
in CI Capital Holding (CICH), a fully-
owned subsidiary, on the business plans 
and integration of support areas, in 
addition to revising business models and 
go-to-market strategy.

     On the Human Resources level, a 

number of steps were taken in 2010 to 
enhance the quality of our professional 
services. Throughout the past year, efforts 
have been made on all aspects of Hu-
man Resources including recruitment, 
organisational development, training 
and compensation and benefits. New 
internal standards were set to enable us to 
continue to attract, develop and retain a 
talented, motivated and diverse work-
force. We strive to maintain a supportive 
work environment while ensuring the 
successful achievement of CIB’s business 
strategy. The Bank continues to offer its 
employees the best training programs 
in Egypt, with updated and tailored 
courses to enhance operability, service 
quality and product knowledge. In fact, 
for decades, CIB has invested heavily in 
its training and development programs, 
where our Corporate Credit Training 
Program became a key competitive 
advantage for the Bank. Recently, we 
launched our Consumer Leadership 
Training Program, which will build the 
technical and leadership skill sets of our 
employees as we strive to become the 
prime consumer bank in Egypt.
      Through a reliable deposit base, a 
robust balance sheet, with customer-
oriented and innovative approaches, 
high liquidity, prudent risk management 
and transparency, we are confident that 
CIB is structurally and financially well-
positioned to maintain our lead as the 
number one bank in the country. 

     Throughout the Bank’s history, inter-
national publications have consistently 
recognized CIB for its quality products 
and services, sound financial position 
and profitability. In 2010, CIB was named 
“Best Bank in Egypt” by both Eur-
omoney and Global Finance in addition 
to “Best Local Bank” from emeaFinance. 

This is the 14th year that CIB has been 
recognized by Global Finance as the 
“Best Bank in Egypt.” Moreover, CIB re-
ceived many accolades throughout 2010. 
Such awards include  “Best Sub-Custodi-
an Bank in Egypt,” “‘Best Trade Finance 
Bank in Egypt,” and “Best Foreign 
Exchange Provider” from Global Finance 
as well as “Best PPP Deal in Africa,” “Best 
Securitization Deal in EMEA,” “Best 
Structured Finance Deal in Africa,” “Best 
FX Provider” and “Best Asset Manager of 
the Year” from emeaFinance.

2010 Financial Position
CIB’s 2010 financial performance owes 
largely to the strength of its business model, 
risk management culture, market position 
and strategy. 

On a consolidated basis, CIB achieved a 

net profit after tax (NPAT) of EGP 2,006 
million in 2010, an increase of 15% over 
2009. Excluding the effect of a Goodwill 
Amortization charge of EGP 40 million and 
an Intangible Assets Amortization charge 
of EGP 129 million, the Bank’s profits on a 
consolidated basis reflect 24.7% growth over 
2009. These non-cash deductions are related 
to accounting for the acquisition of CICH in 
mid-2008. CIB evaluates its investments in 
CICH on an annual basis; in 2010, based on 
the evaluation, CIB has impaired its invest-
ment in CICH from EGP 1,045 million to 
EGP 886 million. Despite this impairment, 
the Bank has exceeded EGP 2 billion in 
NPAT on a standalone basis for the first time 
in its history. 

The success of CIB’s strategy is most 
evident in the Return on Average Equity 
(RoAE), which was 25.72% in 2010, as well 
as the Return on Average Assets (RoAA) of 
2.87%. Diluted Earnings per Share rose by 
8.17% to reach EGP 2.78.

The Bank’s loan book increased by 26.69%, 

almost 17 percentage points more than the 
total market growth of 9.73%, during the 
first eleven months of the year. This out 
performance was achieved by an increase in 
corporate loans of 24.67% and net growth 
in the retail loan portfolio of 46.61%. At 
the same time, deposits increased 15.75%, 
leading to a rise in CIB’s LDR to 57.84%, five 
percentage points higher than 52.84% in 
December 2009.

Local currency (LCY) loans grew 32.37% 
over December 2009, while foreign currency 
(FCY) loans grew by 21.13%. This growth 

Through a 
reliable deposit 
base, a robust 
balance sheet, 
customer-oriented 
approaches, high 
liquidity, prudent 
risk management 
and transparency, 
we are confident 
that CIB is well-
positioned to 
maintain our lead 
as the number one 
bank in the country.

reflects the return of market confidence, with 
corporate Egypt seeking to benefit from the 
sustained favourable growth momentum of 
the economy.

Moreover, CIB’s conservative risk manage-

ment culture enabled the Bank to maintain 
its asset quality, with no observable dete-
rioration. The Bank’s NPLs/Loans ratio 
declined to reach 2.73% compared to 2.97% 
in December 2009.

In response to instructions received from 

the Central Bank of Egypt in December 
2008, Egypt’s Banking sector began imple-
menting International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS). The first phase of im-
plementation was completed in December 
2008 and related primarily to treasury 
instruments. In 2010, CIB completed im-
plementation of all CBE requirements for 
IFRS. Accordingly (and attributed to the 
implementation of these new accounting 
standards), CIB’s total provisions declined by 
32.89%, reflecting the quality of the Bank’s 
portfolio. The Bank’s Coverage Ratio of 
145.57% reflects CIB’s ability to absorb any 
unforeseen rise in NPLs.

In addition, CIB maintained its strong 
equity base with a conservative Capital Ad-
equacy Ratio (CAR) of 14.41%, providing a 
solid cushion for adverse market movements. 
The year-end CAR, after adjusting to include 
2010 attributable profits, reached 16.91%. 
During 2010, consolidated revenues 
increased by 17.50%, with an 11.21% rise in 
net interest income and a 27.32% increase 
in non-interest income. The contribution of 
non-interest income to total revenues has 
increased Y-o-Y and now stands at 42.5% 
of total operating revenues, demonstrating 
management’s commitment to diversifying 
income streams to sustain growth momen-
tum moving forward.

7.11% increase over the same period last year, 
attributed to the performance of CI Capital 
due to current market conditions. It is worth 
mentioning that December 2010 figures 
include Goodwill impairment and intangible 
assets amortization,. When normalized for 
those charges the cost to income ratio would 
be 35.38%. 

Moreover on a standalone basis CIB’s  
cost to income ratio reached 35.19% which 
reflects the continuous focus on strategic cost 
management in CIB. 

2010 Activities
By and large, 2010 was a year that unlocked 
opportunities for CIB and witnessed the 
foundations of growth. As CIB continues to 
enhance customer and shareholder value, 
we wanted to highlight some of CIB’s many 
accomplishments over the past year. 

Institutional Banking Activities
With a diverse offering of products and 
services, adherence to the highest interna-
tional standards, strong corporate culture, 
profound understanding of the local market 
and capital resources, the Institutional Bank-
ing Group (IB) in CIB is a market leader in 
Egypt. 

Continuing our main objective of sup-
porting all the banking needs of our valued 
corporate customers, IB was able to further 
capitalize on its well established and long-
standing corporate relationships in 2010. It 
was a priority during 2010 to work closely 
with our corporate customers, supporting 
them throughout the economic downturn, as 
well as assisting them in raising and refi-
nancing their debt. We continued to meet the 
financial needs of corporate customers, while 
also expanding our focus to include the mid-
cap customer segment.

On a stand-alone basis, Net Interest 

Furthermore, in accordance with our risk 

Margin (NIM) remained healthy at 3.62% in 
2010. The Bank’s NIM for the fourth quarter 
of 2010 recorded 3.82% as compared to 3.50% 
in the third quarter thanks to its dynamic 
Asset and Liability Management, proactive 
market approach and effective pricing of 
loans and deposits. In fact, CIB was able to 
maintain its NIM despite a market environ-
ment characterized by basis risk where the 
Corridor Rate remains stagnant, T-Bill rates 
are volatile, and loan and deposits pricing 
remains competitive. 

On a consolidated basis, the Bank’s Cost 
to Income ratio stood at 39.68%, recording a 

management principles, we lowered our 
appetite for certain high-risk sectors, and 
maintained our appetite for specific trans-
actions mainly in connection with mega 
projects aimed at developing the country’s 
infrastructure base.

The impact of the economic downturn on 
some industries and foreign currency (FCY) 
sourcing represented the primary challenges 
for IB in 2010. To meet these challenges, IB 
implemented several internal organisational 
changes, such as the reorganization of the 
Corporate Banking Group along industry 
lines to allow more focus on enhancing 

18

client coverage; the Financial Institutions 
Group was partially restructured to improve 
synergies within the group; Mid-Cap’s mode 
of operations was redefined to enhance ef-
ficiency and synergies; and finally, the Global 
Transaction Services (GTS) group was estab-
lished to provide value-added transactional 
banking services to our clients.

By addressing these challenges, IB 

achieved growth momentum in the Corpo-
rate, Mid-Cap and Debt Capital Market seg-
ments, while at the same time maintaining 
CIB’s high-quality standards in the portfo-
lio’s composition. Additionally, IB developed 
non-funded solutions for FCY transactions, 
and, with the GTS, commenced implement-
ing cash management solutions for our major 
prime customers. The division provides 
special focus on institutional customers’ 
transactional services, cash management and 
operational needs.

Consumer Banking Activities
The past three years have seen the achieve-
ment of a number of important milestones 
in CIB’s efforts towards the building of a 
world-class Consumer Banking Franchise. 
In 2009, we focused on establishing a strong 
Consumer Banking Organization, the 
internal infrastructure to support products, 
new business initiatives and a comprehensive 
product menu. In 2010, initiatives focused on 
aggressively growing profitability. CIB main-
tained its leadership position in the market 
for new products, launching new initiatives 
planned for the year. 

•   In line with economic trends, CIB main-

tained its robust Risk Management depart-
ment, and moved to risk-based pricing on 
asset products.

•   2010 saw further progress in the Busi-

ness Banking Segment. CIB launched the 
Platinum Debit Card, the first of its kind 
on the Egyptian market. Additionally, to 
further enhance the Bank’s relationship 
with Premium customers, CIB customized 
offerings and launched the Hemaya Fund, 
a capital-protected fund with its Asset 
Management arm CIAM.

•   The Bank also launched the Payroll 

Program for Companies, as part of the 
strategy to expand the customer base and 
diversify customer segmentation.

•   2010 saw rationalization of the distribu-

tion network, to ensure profitable growth 
and realign infrastructure to meet the 

changing needs of the market. Growth was 
carefully strategised, based on the experi-
ence, and some branches and ATMs were 
moved, while others were closed.
•   CIB grew market share for almost all 

product areas and was the distinct market 
leader in the following:

  - 

  - 

  - 

  - 

  - 

 Cards Business: CIB grew new acquisi-
tions by 37% and the growth in total 
portfolio, including Diner’s Club, was 
16%. The Bank also launched a Plati-
num Debit Card. CIB’s market share of 
POS and other acceptance points grew 
to 28% and POS efficiency outpaced 
the market growth.
 Wealth Management: This new seg-
ment was launched with a range of 
products and offers, and in 2010 CIB 
grew this service significantly, expand-
ing to 30 wealth centres.
 Auto Loans: The Bank captured a lead-
ership position, outstripping market 
growth.
 Personal Loans: This program was an 
overnight success, helping CIB create 
a new benchmark, growing by 124% 
compared to the previous year.
 Residential Property Finance: CIB 
continued to grow in this business, but 
with a prudent approach, keeping in 
mind the trends across the region.

Synergy Realization
The initiatives CIB has undertaken over the 
past three years, such as wealth manage-
ment, consumer banking, global customer 
relations, Business Banking, Global Transac-
tion Services (GTS) and CI Capital all offer 
tremendous opportunities for CIB. There 
remains great potential to increase product 
penetration, enhance our share of wallet, 
i.e., our share of the clients’ business with 
all banks, and generate incremental value 
through cross-selling.

Through its affiliation with CIB, CI Capi-
tal Investment Banking is the only local in-
vestment bank in the Egyptian market that 
enjoys the full backing of a large commercial 
bank’s balance sheet. This backing allows 
CI Capital to capitalize on the unparalleled 
industry expertise and CIB’s close relation-
ships with its corporate clients. In addition, 
CI Capital Brokerage achieved impressive 
volumes despite severe market contractions 
and turbulence, continuing to rank among 
the top five brokerage houses in Egypt with a 
market share of 5.98%. 

Among its 
defined set of 
responsibilities, 
CIB’s Board 
constantly 
monitors the 
Bank’s adherence 
to well-defined, 
stringently enforced, 
fully transparent 
corporate 
governance 
standards.

Appropriation of income
The Board of Directors has proposed the dis-
tribution of a dividend per share of EGP 1. In 
addition, CIB is increasing its Legal Reserve 
by EGP 106.2 million, to reach EGP 231.3 
million, and its General Reserve by EGP 
1,066.0 million, to reach EGP 1,144.6 million, 
thus reinforcing the Bank’s solid financial 
position as evidenced by a Capital Adequacy 
Ratio of 14.41% and an Adjusted CAR (in-
cluding profits attributable to shareholders) 
reaching 16.91%

Corporate Governance
CIB’s commitment to maintaining the high-
est standards of corporate governance is sup-
ported by several achievements, including:

1.   Segregation of Executive Management 

and Board of Directors roles.

2.   Formation of a highly skilled Investor 

Relations Team.

3.   Established internal policies and manuals 
covering all business aspects, for example: 
credit and investment, operational proce-
dures, staff hiring and promotion.
4.   Formation of Board’s sub-committees: 
Audit Committee, Corporate Govern-
ance and Compensation Committee, 
Risk Committee, Management Com-
mittee, High Lending and Investment 
Committee. 

The Board and its committees are governed 
by well-defined charters, and are tasked 
with assisting directors in fulfilling their 
responsibilities and obligations with respect 
to their decision-making roles. CIB’s Board 
consists of two Executive and seven Non-
Executive members (the majority of whom 
are independent) with a range of industry 
expertise. In the event of a vacant Board seat, 
the Compensation and Governance Com-
mittee is responsible for nominating a new 
member. Among its defined set of responsi-
bilities, CIB’s Board constantly monitors the 
Bank’s adherence to well-defined, stringently 
enforced, fully transparent corporate govern-
ance standards. The Board fulfils its commit-
ment in the following manner:

Committed to 
the communities 
in which we live 
and work, CIB 
contributes to 
Egypt’s economic 
dynamism by 
supporting 
development funds, 
environmental 
projects, as well 
as initiatives 
relating to poverty 
alleviation and 
child healthcare.  

CIB’s management ensures that they are 
provided with all necessary documents to 
fully observe their selected audit universe. 
CIB’s Internal Audit team closely follows 
up Bank’s management in taking all cor-
rective measures with regards to CBE’s 
comments.

Corporate Social Responsibility 
CIB is committed to the communities in 
which we live and work, and CSR is an 
integral part of our corporate culture. Under 
the slogan “To grow and help others grow,” 
contributing to and supporting Egypt’s eco-
nomic growth is one of CIB’s top priorities.

2010 Social Involvement 
Through its finance program and interna-
tional donors fund division, CIB is the apex 
bank for the largest developmental funds 
in the country. These funds are known for 
their preferential and concessional terms 
and conditions, designed to create new job 
opportunities and increase income among 
Egypt’s rural population, emphasizing op-
portunities for women and small farmers. 
These developmental funds supplied the 
market with approximately EGP 2.12 billion 
to 90,000 beneficiaries. These standard-
ized loans were available across the country 
through a network of 11 participating banks, 
enhancing the accessibility of these devel-
opmental funds to small and medium scale 
businesses.

CIB also participated in several environ-
mental projects that provide grants to clients 
adopting green technology. During 2010, 
the division signed an agreement under 
KFW (PSI-II) to provide grants for Pollution 
Abatement Projects. The percentage of each 
grant varies from 20-30% of the industrial 
sub-project investment cost.

Finally, in an effort to alleviate pov-

erty, CIB became involved in microfinance 
through a service company in 2007. To date, 
the Bank has disbursed 86,000 microfinance 
loans with total outstanding portfolio EGP 
80.9 million. CIB believes that microfinance 
is capable of generating employment oppor-
tunities, which contributes positively to the 
national economy of Egypt.

CIB Foundation
Seeking to enhance the quality of health 
and nutritional services in Egypt, CIB has 
made donations on a stand-alone basis over 
the past ten years. Observing the positive 
impact these donations have had on the 

lives of children in Egypt, the Bank recently 
moved towards more effective, sustainable 
initiatives and in May 2010, established the 
CIB Foundation as a non-profit organization 
dedicated to enhancing health and nutri-
tional services to underprivileged children 
in Egypt. The CIB Foundation seeks to make 
valuable contributions to children’s health 
and nutrition through multi-faceted initia-
tives. Additionally, the Foundation seeks 
to assist school feeding programs, support 
children with special needs, and raise com-
munity awareness on health and nutrition-
related issues.

The CIB Foundation is also dedicated to 
following up on and comprehensively moni-
toring past CIB child health-related dona-
tions made by the Bank. Through the Magdi 
Yacoub Foundation in Aswan, CIB covered 
the costs associated with 50 children’s open 
heart surgeries. 

The Bank also funded the purchase of 56 
electric dental chair-sets for the Paediatric 
Ward of the Faculty of Oral and Dental Med-
icine at Cairo University. Prior to receiving 
the CIB donation, the ward was only meet-
ing 20% of the demand for their services. 
The ward, as the only provider of low-cost, 
specialized paediatric dental services, is now 
expected to open in the first quarter of 2011 
at full capacity. 

CIB also made a donation to the Paedi-
atric Surgery Unit at Ain Shams University 
Hospital for a multi-million Egyptian pound 
renovation which included the upgrade of 
infrastructure, equipment, medical and non-
medical furniture. The unit now includes two 
operating theaters, an intensive care room 
and an immediate care ward, allowing it to 
perform 3,600 critical operations a year.

A donation was also made to the Breast 
Cancer Foundation of Egypt to cover the 
costs associated with surgery, prostheses and 
lymph edema treatment for 15 breast cancer 
patients.

In November 2010, the CIB Founda-
tion signed a protocol of cooperation with 
the Friends of Abou El Reesh Children’s 
Hospitals Organization for the establishment 
of a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at 
the Abou El Reesh El Mounira Children’s 
Hospital. The 14-month project will see the 
development of a ten-bed unit, doubling the 
number of critical patients the hospital is 
able to serve. Once completed, the unit will 
operate alongside the existing ICU, and will 
provide quality service and care to patients 
from across the country.

Success Story

Al Kharafi Group 
Creating A Culture of  
Casual Dining in Egypt

If you’ve ever eaten at Pizza Hut, KFC or 
Hardees, then you might consider yourself 
a client of CIB. Established in 1974 as 
a subsidiary of Kuwait Food Company 
(Americana), which is part of Al-Kharafi 
Group, the Egyptian Company for Inter-
national Touristic Projects (ECITP) leads 
the Egyptian market in operating fast food 
franchises.

CIB has been a partner  to both Al-
Kharafi and its subsidiaries since their 
earliest business ventures in Egypt, where 
they operate a long list of casual dining in-
stitutions including Pizza Hut, KFC, Har-
dees, Tikka, Grand Café, Costa Café, TGI 
Friday’s and Fusion. Since 1978, ECITP 

has worked with Americana to expand 
the number of fast food outlets, reaching a 
total of 300 units as of December 2010. 

Among the fruits of this partnership has 

been greater vertical integration across 
all business lines; vertical integration 
has allowed Americana and its partners 
to reduce the cost of raw materials and 
increase efficiency, ultimately improving 
the Group’s profitability. 

Through this intricate web of coopera-
tion between Americana, Al-Kharafi and 
CIB, the fast food industry in Egypt has 
achieved higher returns for its owners, 
greater efficiency for the market, and bet-
ter prices for the end-consumer.

2010 In Review: Institutional Banking

Institutional Banking

Continuing our main objective of sup-
porting our valued corporate customers 
with all their banking needs, Institutional 
Banking (IB) was able to further capitalize 
on its long-standing corporate relation-
ships in 2010. In particular, we made it a 
priority to work closely with our clients, 
assisting them in raising and refinancing 
their debt in the wake of the economic 
downturn. In addition to meeting the fi-
nancial needs of major corporate custom-
ers, IB also expanded its focus to include 
the Mid-Cap customer segment.  

Furthermore, as part of our strength in 
risk management we lowered our appetite 
for certain high-risk sectors and main-
tained our appetite for specific transac-
tions mainly in connection with mega-
projects aiming to develop the country’s 
infrastructure base.

The impact of the economic downturn 
on certain industries along with the issue 
of foreign currency sourcing presented IB 
with some of its main challenges. To meet 
these challenges IB implemented several 

internal organisational changes, such as 
the reorganization of the Corporate Bank-
ing Group along industry lines to further 
enhance client coverage, in addition to 
the partial restructuring of the Financial 
Institutions Group to improve syner-
gies within the group. Additionally, the 
management redefined MidCap’s mode 
of operations to improve efficiency; while 
the Global Transaction Services (GTS) 
group was established to provide value 
added transactional banking services to 
our clients.

By addressing these challenges, IB 
managed to achieve growth momentum 
in the Corporate, MidCap and Debt 
Capital Markets, while at the same time 
maintaining high standards in the invest-
ment portfolio, developing non-funded  
solutions for foreign currency transac-
tions and with the GTS involvement, 
commenced implementing cash man-
agement solutions for our major prime 
customers.  The following is IB redefined

By addressing the 
challenges presented 
by the economic 
downturn head 
on, Institutional 
Banking managed 
to achieve growth 
momentum across 
all segments while 
maintaining high 
standards in 
the investment 
portfolio.

tion to sustaining efforts both to recover 
exposures under such loans and turn 
around counter parties. 

•   On the organisational level, Corpo-

rate Banking went through two major 
restructures aiming at focusing efforts 
towards growth and enhancing cus-
tomer satisfaction. The broad outline of 
the restructure included:

  -   Establishment of new support areas 

to enhance customer satisfaction and 
utilization of facilities.

  -   Moved some areas to other lines of 

business for the sake of greater ef-
ficiency.

In 2011, CIB’s Corporate Banking unit will 
look to build on the accomplishments of 
the year just past and pursue the following 
general objectives:

•   Continue to selectively expand our 

portfolio to achieve high quality growth 
in assets under management through 
intensified marketing efforts, enhanced 
customer relations and regular industry 
monitoring.

•   Increase product offering, tailored 

facilities and penetration rate to meet 
increasing customer needs.

•   Further ameliorate office structure and 
upgrade the system to optimise work-
flow and enhance customer satisfaction.

an unprecedented track record and 
unparalleled experience in underwrit-
ing, structuring and arranging large scale

securitization structures, and in 2010 the 
division structured and placed four local

share of 25% in treasury bonds.

The currency market experienced huge 

fluctuations during the crisis and the 
department accordingly expanded its 
advisory role to minimize the companies’ 
balance sheet and revaluation losses re-
lated to both foreign exchange and interest 
rates exposures. 

For the ninth consecutive year, CIB won 
the Global Finance Award for the Best For-
eign Exchange Bank in Egypt. The award 
acknowledged the market’s appreciation of 
CIB’s pioneer role in providing tight and 
competitive quotes for banks, corporations 
and retail clients. Moreover, Euro Money 
Institutional Investor PLC -Global Investor 
Magazine Middle East Awards 2010- has 
recognized CIB as the best FX provider of 
the year in the Middle East.

Institutional Banking Legal  
Advisor & Asset Protection Group
The Institutional Banking Legal Advi-
sor’s Department was established in May 
2006 due to the need for an in-house Legal 
Counsel to deal directly with technical

without resorting to outsider Legal Coun-
sellors.

Escrow Accounts Agreements and 
various business Agreements, Legal Due

Loans and Project Finance are exclusively 
provided by the IB Legal Advisor to the 
Institutional Banking Departments as well

targeted legal advice for local and cross-
border transactions with a high level of 
professional legal service.

ing the Corporate Banking Group clients 
documentation (CBG I & CBG II).  Since 
May 2007 it was associated with The 
Institutional Banking Legal Advisor’s 
Department while maintaining its own 
separate workflow procedures.  Since 
then, the Asset Protection was extended

2010 In Review: Consumer Banking

Consumer Banking

In our mission to build a truly world-class 
consumer banking franchise, manage-
ment at CIB has made huge leaps over the 
last three years, including:

Solidification of Bank Organization
In 2009, we focused on establishing a 
strong consumer banking organization, 
including a complete backbone to support 
existing products, new business initiatives 
as well as a comprehensive product menu. 
Following these accomplishments, 2010 
saw us launch new initiatives to aggres-
sively grow profitability, and we expect 
to observe the real impact of these recent 
activities in 2011 and beyond.

Cultivation of Future Consumer Bankers
To further re-enforce the Consumer 

Banking business and pave the way for 
the next line of leadership, CIB launched a 
Leadership Program for Consumer Bank-
ers with the objective of creating a pool of 
future leaders within the company.

New Progress in Relationship  
Management
Our transition into Relationship Manage-
ment by focusing on Customer Segments 
yielded tremendous results with particu-
larly aggressive growth in the Wealth  
segment.

Sustained Market Leadership
CIB continued to maintain a market–lead-
ing position by launching new products, 
and initiatives during 2010. Keeping pace 
with economic indicators, CIB contin-

ued to demonstrate robust performance 
in risk management, further ensuring a 
high quality of business. This line also 
saw us move to risk-based pricing on asset 
products.

Constant Improvement 
Of Customer Relations
Our concern with customer experience 
also remained a key priority for 2010 and 
onwards, leading us to make additional 
investments in IT and operational infra-
structure. 

New Initiatives
CIB continued to expand its service and 
product menu by introducing best in class 
products to the market. 

After the launch of “CIB Wealth” for 

the affluent segment in 2009, 2010 saw 
further progress in the Business Banking 
Segment. Our key objective was to provide 
not only the best service, but also further 
deepen the bank’s relationship with the 
Premium segment. In order to tailor its of-
ferings to the needs of affluent customers, 
CIB launched projects such as the He-
maya fund, a capital protected fund with 
its Asset Management arm CIAM. CIB 
also launched the Platinum debit card, a 
unique product in the Egyptian market. 
In line with the new acquisition strat-
egy, CIB also launched a payroll program 
for companies to acquire new customers, 
an initiative in line with the segmentation 
of CIB customers.

CIB continued to 
maintain a market-
leading position 
as we continued to 
demonstrate robust 
performance in risk 
management.

Reaching Out, 
Rationalizing Distribution
Among the many developments of 2010, 
CIB focused on the rationalization of 
distribution, an initiative seeking not to 
expand but to ensure profitable growth 
and re-align infrastructure to meet grow-
ing demand in the market. The growth 
proceeded according to experience as we 
moved certain branches and ATMs while 
closing others.

This year also saw CIB focus on raising 

profitability by increasing productivity 
across all channels. The quality of our 
customer relations continued to play a key 
role, and we bolstered our performance 
in this regard by reaching out to clients 
rather than waiting for them to reach us 
through our branches. This necessitated 
the following actions:

•   Upgrade the Direct Sales Unit for cer-

tain key Asset products. 

•   Build further support through the 

outbound Telesales unit. 

•   Set up a separate well-trained CIB 

Wealth Team to cater to new clients 
within the Premium segment. 
•   Expand the ATM network to 502 

ATM’s, now the largest in the private 
sector.

•   CIB also progressed in offering state-
of-the-art ATM’s which include a full 
range of functionalities such as bill 
payment, cash deposits and 3rd party 
transfers.  

•   Establishing 15 new wealth lounges in 

2010.

•   Renovating 5 Branches.

CIB also enjoys the largest private sector 
branch network now standing at 153 outlets, 
in addition to an exemplary reputation for 
its service quality which ensures improved 
customer experience and fully supports all 
channels of distribution.

Together these developments have led to 
aggressive new customer acquisitions as well 
as further improvement in customer service.

2010 Accomplishments:
CIB continued to report significant 
growth across all product lines. The de-
posits book grew by 17%, while CIB estab-
lished itself as a leader on the asset side of 
the business. Our loan portfolio book also 

registered impressive growth of 43% as 
CIB solidifies its reputation as a preferred 
bank for personal and auto loans. 

CIB’s investment product offerings 
continue to benefit from the support of 
its subsidiary CIAM through funds such 
as Osool, Aman, Hemaya and Estethmar 
targeting varying risk profiles. Assets 
under Management meanwhile reached 
EGP 8.7 billion, an increase of 43%. 

As for CIB’s sister company CIL, the 

subsidiary launched Elite Premium, 
a product specifically tailored for the 
Wealth segment and part of a compre-
hensive product menu of customized 
savings and insurance schemes.

This year’s achievements can generally 

be summarized as follows:

Considerable Growth in Market Share
CIB continued to expand its product 
menu and improve the infrastructure 
related to Relationship Management, 
leading to an increase in market share 
on almost all products areas. CIB even 
became a distinct Market leader in some 
of the newest initiatives. 

Excellent Performance in the Cards 
Business
CIB grew new acquisitions by 43% while 
the growth in portfolio including Din-
ner cards reached 16%. The Bank also 
launched a platinum debit card, which will 
uphold the highest standards in the mar-
ket. On the cards acquisition side, CIB’s 
market share grew to 17% while Point of 
Sale efficiency outpaced market growth. 

Expansions in Wealth Management
CIB expanded this service to encompass 30 
Wealth centres and lounges while launch-
ing a range of new products and offers.  A 
new well trained set of Wealth Managers 
were also appointed to service the affluent 
customers.

Growth in Auto Loans
CIB captured a leadership position out-
stripping market growth.

Growth in Personal Loans
CIB Personal Loans have been extremely 
successful, helping CIB to register a new 
benchmark as the program grew by 101% 
over last year.

Representing a 
43% increase over 
2009, Assets Under 
Management at 
CIAM reached EGP 
8.7 billion in 2010.

Strong Performance in Residential 
Property Finance

 CIB continued to grow in this segment, 
but maintained a prudent approach fol-
lowing economic indicators across the 
region.

Ongoing Consumer Banking 
Strategy
The ongoing Consumer Banking strategy 
consists of the following objectives:

•   To Increase Profitability
•   Improve Product Penetration
•   Reduce Cost to Income Ratio
•   Expand Relationship Management

In addition to increasing productivity 
across all consumer banking channels in 
2011, CIB also plans to launch a business 
banking segment as well as expand the 
wealth management business.

insurance products among our customers.  
As customer service remains the key 
concern at CIB, the bank  introduces new 
services every year in order to position 
itself as a market leader. Notably, CIB 
plans to invest further in cutting edge 
technology and create a robust e-banking 
platform.

In our consumer banking section, 
which is focused on business orientation 
and geared toward optimum earnings, 
the focal point remains our customers, 
with whom we provide a broad range 
of value added products and services. 
CIB continues to uphold service qual-
ity as maximum customer satisfaction is 
its overriding objective. The creation of

2010 In Review: COO Area

COO Area

In the face of tough market competition 
and a challenging global environment, the 
COO Area has  been proactive in driving 
key initiatives to enhance the revenues of 
the bank. The COO Area departments are 
committed to providing the Bank with the 
information and support it needs to make 
the best decisions for the business. 

COO Area completed several crucial 

projects in 2010. Internally, the area 
undertook a head count rationalization 
and worked to improve vendor manage-
ment procedures and to make progress on 
planned T24  implementation. The area 
departments also successfully completed 

key bank projects including an online 
banking and trade portal, centralization of 
operational activities, implementation of 
a Management Information System (MIS) 
and International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS), as well as the creation 
of a well-defined Human Resources (HR) 
strategy. 

Finance
The role of the Finance Group has shifted 
gradually from an emphasis on reporting 
functions to an increased involvement 
in performance management and the 
strategic agenda of the Bank. The Group’s 

functions are now focused primarily on 
working continuously with key stakehold-
ers to address opportunities and chal-
lenges, and identifying and explaining the 
impact of new regulations such as IFRS 
and Basel II on the business. 

The Performance Management and 
Strategic Decision Support department 
adopted CIB’s value-based management 
approach in which managers are provided 
with tools and techniques to support 
the development and implementation of 
strategies that create value. This approach 
also offers incentives for managers to 
create value. The Group uses a uniform, 

value-oriented management concept that 
links goal setting, planning, operational 
management, and performance monitor-
ing and measurement to remuneration. 
Relationship Management (RM) was 
implemented across CIB’s business lines 
last year, and as an initiative RM has 
proven to be successful throughout 2010. 
Relationship Managers across the Bank’s 
support functions from Finance to IT and 
HR work closely with front line managers 
to process information requests, identify 
risks and opportunities for the business, 
flag early warning signals, and address 
other issues from the finance perspective. 

We believe that 
the restructured 
Finance Group 
has provided CIB 
with a strong 
foundation to face a 
challenging market 
and regulatory 
environment.

2010 In Review: COO Area

2010 was a key 
year in IT at CIB, 
as we invested in 
new technologies to 
improve our servers, 
IP telephony 
equipment as well 
as our overall 
networking 
capabilities. 

A new Cost Control Unit was also 
established to implement cost control 
guidelines which ensure that contracts 
and invoices are negotiated and pay-
ment processed in a timely manner while 
achieving cost synergies for the Bank. 
CIB’s Tax Unit continues to furnish 
timely and accurate information to inter-
nal and external stakeholders in accord-
ance with the applicable laws and regula-
tions in Egypt. 

We believe that the restructured Finance 

Group has provided CIB with a strong 
foundation from which to face the chal-
lenging market and regulatory environ-
ment while maintaining its competitive 
edge and delivering outstanding value to 
its shareholders. 

Information Technology
In 2010, CIB’s IT Department focused 
on three areas with a view to providing 
enhanced services to our clients: 

IT Operations
The key focus for IT operations has been 
to improve service availability across the 
Bank. In this regard, a number of initia-
tives were completed to bring IT opera-
tions in line with the strategic aims of 
CIB. These included significant improve-
ments in availability of key systems, a 
centralized full-service help desk, and 
the definition and implementation of 
improved processes for managing all IT 
services.

One of the key initiatives kicked off dur-
ing 2010 was the implementation of a Con-
trol Centre aimed at measuring, monitor-
ing and automating IT services across all 
functional areas. This system will be the 
core of CIB IT and is an important aspect 
of the Bank’s IT strategy, which is slated 
for completion by the end of 2011.

IT Projects
A number of critical projects were com-
pleted in 2010, advancing the IT dimen-
sion of the Bank’s business plan. 2010 IT 
accomplishments include major progress 
in the overhaul of CIB’s core systems to 
bring them up to the latest capabilities, 
implementation of the first part of the En-
terprise Data Warehouse strategy aimed at 
providing enhanced information for our 
Retail business areas, and new systems 

for our branches as well as other delivery 
channels such as ATMs, Internet Banking 
and Phone Banking.  The IT department 
has also completed key projects in the In-
stitutional Banking area aimed at improv-
ing existing capabilities as well as offering 
new products for our customers including 
a Trade Finance and Cash Management 
portal. The Department is also creating 
new packages for the treasury front and 
middle office, providing state-of-the-art 
systems focusing on new capabilities for 
these areas. In line with the larger goal 
of centralizing key operational activities, 
further projects aimed at enhancing work-
flow and document management were also 
completed.  

IT Infrastructure
A number of key initiatives were also com-
pleted in 2010 to enhance the overall tech-
nology infrastructure of the bank.  CIB 
has continued its investments in networks 
and infrastructure, implementing a highly 
available, managed and resilient infra-
structure through investments in state of 
the art equipment.

As part of its ongoing strategy, CIB 
is also investing in new technologies to 
improve our servers, IP telephony equip-
ment as well as our overall networking 
capabilities. CIB is also in the process of 
upgrading its middleware systems to pro-
vide the Bank with future-proof growth 
capabilities.

Overall, 2010 was a key year in IT at 
CIB, which saw a move to the next level of 
maturity in the services that we provide, 
as well as the establishment of a strong 
technical foundation to help the business 
move towards its strategic objectives in the 
future.

Operations Group
The Operations Group witnessed major 
restructuring in 2010, during which we 
successfully managed to shift the reach of 
Operations Departments to encompass 
Bank-wide support and control func-
tion for all business lines and channels, a 
process overseen by a talented and highly 
knowledgeable team. In 2010, the Group 
focused on setting standards which are 
now used as a basis for measuring the pro-
ductivity of each and every staff member 
within the group.

The Group has worked on enhancing 
efficiency of execution and reducing turn 
around time (TAT) to provide better and 
more efficient services for CIB custom-
ers. Several initiatives have also been 
undertaken to enhance the Bank’s control 
culture and ensure that business expan-
sion is measured with risk potential. These 
projects include the consolidation of both 
Internal Control units under one depart-
ment, Consumer Operations and Central 
Operations, and the establishment of the 
Treasury Middle Office Unit, which is re-
sponsible for monitoring and controlling 
all functions related to Assets and Liability 
management independently to ensure all 
required controls are in place. 

On the customer experience side, 
several projects began in 2010 and will 
continue into the second quarter of 2011, 
including improvement of CIB’s ATM 
network performance, distribution and 
functionality. The Group is also in the 
process of conducting a structured cus-
tomer opinion survey for CIB customers 
to better understand the services that add 
value to different segments of the Bank’s 
customer base in order to address them 
directly in future efforts.  

On another note, a Business Continu-
ity Unit has been established under the 

Operations Group to forward the Bank’s 
strategy of implementing and sustain-
ing comprehensive business continuity 
capability. The Unit has a clear mandate 
to identify critical areas of the business, 
develop business continuity policies, 
procedures and guidelines, create a plan 
for implementing business recovery plans 
for all business lines, prepare a disaster 
recovery site for CIB critical operations, 
and conduct training and awareness ses-
sions in different departments to embed 
business continuity concepts within staff 
members. 

Finally, the Remittance and Trade 
Finance departments have successfully 
managed to sustain their annual Excel-
lence Awards, which are awarded by well-
known international financial institutions 
for exceptional quality in performance of 
execution and transactions processing.

Human Resources
CIB’s staff has always been our most 
important asset and the development of a 
premier team is a key pillar in the strat-
egy of the Bank. The Bank has identified 
an aggressive agenda for the Human 
Resources Department for the com-
ing years in accordance with the Bank’s 
strategic aspirations which will require an

increased emphasis on hiring, develop-
ment and career progression. Throughout 
2010, efforts have been made in all areas of 
Human Resources including Recruitment, 
Organisational Development, Training, 
and Compensation and Benefits. Pro-
jects included staff coaching sessions on 
performance management, job evaluation 
through an external agency, leadership 
training in Consumer Banking, salary 
surveys and process re-engineering to 
improve services offered to staff.  

CIB recognizes that achievement of its 
goals is dependent on the recruitment and 
the retention of a skilled and commit-
ted workforce. In 2010, the Recruitment 
Department was able to re-work several 
key hiring steps that had a direct impact 
on the hiring life cycle. The Department 
successfully partnered with a number of 
hiring agencies to identify skill scarcity 
within the Firm and effectively build a 
strong database of candidates for critical 
company roles. CIB hired 670 staff in vari-
ous areas and at different levels in 2010.
At CIB we are proud to have one of 
the best training systems in the banking 
sector. Our training structure consists 
of different training programs offered to 
3,112 employees, varying from in-house 
programs to local and overseas courses. 
These programs cover all areas of devel-
opment from technical to soft skills. In 
2010, CIB pursued its training strategy by 
implementing courses for changing at-
titudes, upgrading skills and building the 
knowledge of its human capital to prepare 
them to meet today’s rapidly changing  
business climate.

In 2010 further efforts were made in 
performance management. This included 
a review of the Bank’s smart objectives 
formulation process and performance 
management cycle. Additionally, an exer-
cise has been initiated by the Bank on job 
evaluation to rank positions in CIB on the 
basis of the duties and responsibilities as-
signed to each in order to ensure internal 
equity at the Bank. 

In the area of Compensation and 
Benefits, a salary survey was conducted 
to gauge the remuneration in the market 
and align our compensation structure 
to ensure that CIB remains competitive 
in hiring and retaining staff. Work was 
also done on policies and procedures to 
improve the service standards for staff.

Corporate services
The Corporate Services Department 
was restructured at the beginning of the 
year and given the major challenge of 
enhancing the Bank’s services.  Corpo-
rate Services has embarked on a mission 
to help vendors enhance their perfor-
mance, seek continuous feedback from 
staff and customers to improve services, 
and optimise costs through various 
initiatives.

This proactive partnership has 
resulted in enhancement of printing 
solutions at the Bank, the reorganization 
of fleet management strategy, consolida-
tion of warehouses and other activities 
such as insurance and a travel desk. For 
facility management, new maintenance 
contracts and a cleaning strategy have 
been put in place in order to enhance 
the facility services across the bank.

A new help desk was established early 
in 2010 to receive and register complaints 
and requests for improved services from 
our internal and external customers. This

training systems 
in the Egyptian 
banking sector, CIB

programs to local 
and overseas 
courses. 

has resulted in continuous feedback on 
our services, which has helped in improv-
ing the performance of the Corporate 
Services Department. 

Premises Projects
The main mission of the Premises Projects 
department is to optimise our space uti-
lization in the most cost efficient manner, 
while maintaining the standards of CIB’s 
brand image.

This year a number of projects have 

been completed for the head office and the 
branch network.

Around 15,000 square meters of the 
Head Office premises have been renovat-
ed, upgraded or re-arranged.

In addition to opening a new Tanta 
branch, extensive renovation of branches 
and upgrade of wealth lounges was com-
pleted this year. 

Lastly, a comprehensive road map has 
been developed by the Premises Depart-
ment for Head Office and Branch network 
enhancement in the coming years. 

Marketing and Communications
2010 saw major efforts devoted to posi-
tioning CIB as the brand that delivers the 
best financial services. Marketing and 
Communications capitalized on CIB’s 
strong market position, as well as the 
Bank’s recognition by Euromoney, Global 
Finance, Global Investor and emeaFi-
nance, in both internal and external 
communications to increase CIB’s brand 
equity in the market. 

In Consumer Banking, our efforts 
focused on sustaining the products and 
services launched last year though the 
development of innovative market cam-
paigns promoting each product, as well 
as a series of events held throughout the 
year to build awareness and welcome CIB 
Wealth customers. 

In line with the Bank’s Corporate Social 

Responsibility (CSR) strategy, CIB estab-
lished the CIB Foundation to forward the 
Bank’s efforts in this area. The Founda-
tion’s brand identity was developed and a 
website launched.

In light of 
requirements 
by the Central 
Bank of Egypt’s 
implementation 
of Basel II, 
Operational Risk 
has become one of 
the key pillars of  
CIB’s operations.

2010 In Review: Risk Management

As the Egyptian 
economy rebounded 
from some of 
the effects of the 
global economic 
crisis, Credit Risk 
Management 
played a pivotal 
role in supporting 
growth in the 
Corporate and Mid-
Cap segments by 
adopting a prudent 
strategy based  on 
risk mitigation. 

financial turbulence in Europe initially 
in Greece but then followed by the rest 
of the PIIGS countries by the last quarter 
of 2010. Thorough analysis and review 
concluded that CIB’s exposure to counter-
parties in such countries remains minimal 
and confined to financially strong and 
stable financial institutions that were able 
to emerge safely from this crisis. 

Consumer Banking Risk.
The Consumer Risk Management Unit 
(CRMU) is an integral pillar of the consum-
er banking framework and has been actively 
supporting business growth while ensuring 
the quality of our portfolio. While 2009 was 
predominately a year of laying the founda-
tion for the Consumer Banking business as 
well as the Risk Management framework, 
the year just past has been primarily a year 
of consolidation and facilitation.

Consumer Risk has partnered in the 
launch of new products, such as revolving 
overdrafts, and secured overdrafts secured 
against capital protected funds, and sav-
ings accounts, in addition to that of many 
other programs. Segment expansion prop-
ositions have been launched across the 
more stable and long standing products 
that revolve around surrogate acquisitions, 
line management, countering attrition and 
balance-build-up initiatives. 

All these growth-facilitating initia-
tives have been made possible primar-
ily through enhanced levels of Portfolio 
Monitoring and Analytics coupled with 
the controls that have been institutional-
ized across all the Risk Units. Some of the 
key initiatives that have added to the bank’s 
Portfolio Monitoring capabilities and Seg-
ment Differentiations have been the institu-
tionalization of early warning dashboards 
and tripwires. In addition, Consumer Risk 
has also effectively transitioned to the widely 
accepted IFRS loss recognition and provi-
sioning methodology.

The Consumer Risk Unit has also worked 
closely with the Operations Department to 
centralize and standardize many processes 
that will ensure consistency in performance 
standards and strengthen quality controls. 
This initiative has also been instrumen-
tal in facilitating off-loading front-end 
employees from operational activities so 
that their time is dedicated predominantly 
to sales and service. There have also been 
continuous re-engineering initiatives in 

Risk Management

At CIB, we seek to achieve an appropriate 
risk-reward balance, and continue to build 
and enhance Risk Management capabili-
ties that will assist in achieving our busi-
ness objectives.

Risk Management stands as a core pillar 

in the bank’s organisational structure, as 
it is an important catalyst in value crea-
tion to our shareholders. This is achieved 
through identification, assessment, and 
prioritisation of risks followed by coor-
dination and application of resources to 
minimize, monitor and control the prob-
ability and/or impact of such risks and to 
maximize the realization of opportunities. 
In our efforts to address uncertainties, our 
Risk Management decisions are taken in a 
systematic and structured manner based 
on the best available information while 
maintaining our ability to respond dy-
namically to changes. We seek to achieve 
continual improvement and enhancement 
in our Risk Management processes.  

To support the processes associated with 

Risk Management, CIB has invested in 
state-of-the-art solutions, covering Basel 

II compliance (standardized and advanced 
approaches), portfolio management and 
risk analytics. These solutions enforce 
best practices in the Risk Management 
Department (RMD) and cover the areas of 
Credit, Market and Operational risk.

Credit and Investment Exposure 
Management:
Institutional and Investment Banking 
Risk
Our Credit and Investment Risk Man-
agement teams consist of credit-certified 
members with experience at the senior 
level, in addition to an average of 10-20 
years of experience in the field of risk. 
The primary objective of this team is to 
establish a framework of controls to ensure 
that the Credit and Investment Risks being 
taken are based on sound fundamentals, 
whereby they continually review, monitor 
and analyse Corporate, Midcap, Corre-
spondent Banks’ and Investment portfolios  
using strict standards to ensure the quality 
of CIB’s portfolio as well as adherence to all 
internal policies and regulatory directives.

An important 
catalyst in value 
creation for our 
shareholders, Risk 
Management stands 
as a cornerstone of 
CIB’s organisational 
structure. 

In 2010, Corporate and Midcap were 
poised to grow as the Egyptian economy 
partially rebounded from some of the ef-
fects of the global economic crisis. Credit 
Risk Management played a pivotal role 
in supporting such growth by continuing 
to adopt a prudent strategy based on risk 
mitigation.

The measures taken to achieve these 
goals included managing credit ceilings, 
setting industry limits, tightening country 
limits, limiting cross border exposure in 
high-risk products, close monitoring of 
past dues, conducting regular stress tests 
to assess portfolio resilience and focusing 
on exposures within moderate risk indus-
tries with stable cash flows. As a result, 
non-performing loans ratio decreased in 
2010 compared to 2009 despite the 26.7% 
Y-o-Y growth of our loans portfolio dur-
ing the same period demonstrating CIB’s 
ability to achieve healthy growth without 
sacrificing its asset quality. This is further 
enhanced by a coverage ratio of 145.1% 
in 2010 confirming our prudent policy in 
maintaining adequate impairment charges 
to cover existing non-performing exposure.     
On the Correspondent Banking side, 

2010 presented certain challenges as 
international markets were shaken by the

Credit Underwriting and Collections to 
enhance service delivery and turnaround 
times. The year ahead will be a challenging 
year considering the objective of Consumer 
Banking to grow against a backdrop of 
increased competition in the market. The 
focus will be to leverage the expertise, skill-
sets and standardized processes cultivated 
over the last two years in order to drive 
quality and efficiency given the aggressive 
acquisition volumes and asset portfolio. 
While we continue to aggressively grow 
consumer assets, the guiding principle is to 
optimise portfolio quality and manage the 
risk-reward balance.

Aggregate Portfolio Quality 
And Impairment Charges
Total IFRS based Impairment Charges 
reached EGP 1.26 billion in December 2010, 
compared to EGP 1.30 billion in 2009, and 
despite the write off of EGP 105.6 million in 
2010, compared to EGP 65.5 million in 2009.
The Bank’s General Ratio for Direct Expo-

sure decreased from 2.32% as of December 
2009 to 2.19% in 2010. Institutional Banking 
Recoveries recorded a total of EGP 25.7 mil-
lion in 2010 compared to EGP 22.7 million 
in 2009.

The Consumer Banking Unit continues to 

make valuable contributions to the Bank’s 
performance with aggregate recoveries of 3.5 
million as of December 2010, up from EGP 
1.2 million in 2009.

Basel II Implementation:
Credit Risk
In accordance with the Central Bank of 
Egypt’s (CBE) recommendation for Basel II 
compliance, CIB will adopt the Standardized 
Approach for Credit Risk  across all the asset 
classes starting 31 December, 2011. The bank 
is currently fully engaged in the implemen-
tation of this approach with the help of the 
acquired technology solution. 
  CIB has a corporate rating model based 
on statistical methodology developed in 
2006 and which is being used to rate all 
corporate customers on an annual basis. It 
enables the bank to estimate the PD (Prob-
ability of Default), a key risk component for 
the Internal Rating Based (IRB) approach 
of the Basel II Accord. CIB is currently 
working to validate this rating model in 
order to implement the Foundation IRB 
Approach  as and when permitted by CBE.

Market Risk
The Market Risk Management Department 
(MRM) is responsible for the measurement, 
management and reporting of Market Risk 
Exposures within the bank. MRM uses 
various techniques and methodologies for 
quantifying and modelling the potential 
losses that may arise from adverse changes 
in market rates and prices including foreign 
exchange, equities and interest rates in both 
the trading and banking books. These meas-
urements include Value-at-Risk (VaR), stress 
testing, scenario analysis and Economic 
Value of Equity (EVE).  

Regular Market Risk reports are generated 
and reported to management and stakehold-
ers to ensure that limits are not breached and 
that appropriate action is initiated.

In terms of Basel II Compliance, the bank 
is currently implementing a solution to be in 
line with the CBE Guidelines.

Operational Risk
Operational Risk Management (ORM) is 
a newly-formed department that aims to 
manage and control operational risk in an ef-
fective manner, within levels that are consist-
ent with the bank’s risk appetite. The Bank 
intends to develop and implement an Opera-
tional Risk process that brings consistency 
(risk identification/measurement/reporting) 
and standardization within CIB through a 
common framework of policies and tools. 

In 2010, an Operational Risk Committee 
was established, and the framework was for-
malized, with relevant policies implemented. 
In terms of Basel II Compliance, the bank is 
currently implementing a solution to be in 
line with the CBE Guidelines.

Compliance 

The Compliance Department is divided 
into four divisions: Compliance with Pol-
icies and Procedures; Compliance with 
Anti Money Laundering; Compliance 
with Corporate Governance and Code of 
Conduct; and Complaint Investigation.
In general terms, Compliance contin-
ues to guard the bank against potential 
losses and reputation damage. Specifical-
ly, the Department acts as a shield against 
regulatory sanctions, legal or material 
financial losses a bank may suffer as a 
result of its failure to comply with the 
law, regulations, and other related self-
regulatory organization standards.

The Compliance Department takes 

particular care to protect the Bank 
against activities such as money launder-
ing and terrorism financing, and in these 
respects works closely with the MLCU 
(Money Laundering Combating Unit) 
in CBE. Meanwhile the Chief Compli-
ance Officer became a voting member 
of the Retail Fraud Risk Management 
Committee as Compliance was given the 
responsibility of investigating any fraud 
issues in other areas of the Bank, due to 
an increased focus on the risk of external 
and internal fraud.

The year 2010 saw the Department 
give increased attention to customer 
complaints with a particular emphasis 
on highlighting the root causes of dis-
satisfaction and ensuring non-recurrence 
through remedial action; major findings 
were also raised to and sometimes han-
dled by Senior Management. 

Additionally, the Compliance Depart-
ment also started reviewing new products 
and services launched to guarantee their 
compliance with regulations and ensure 
transparency and accurate information 
for customers, factors which are expected 
to further increase customer satisfaction.
The “whistle–blowing” concept con-

tinues to be the channel available to 
employees for reporting violations and 
misconduct, while the Chief Compli-
ance Officer acts as the focal point for all 
staff, ensuring that they are fully aware 
of the code of conduct. In this matter, the 
Petition and Code of Conduct Commit-

tees review staff requests, petitions, and 
complaints to ensure fair and proper 
treatment of such issues.

Looking forward into 2011, we will 

focus on: 

•   Maintaining proper controls to mini-
mize the risk of external and internal 
fraud. 

•   Enhancing Regulatory Compliance by 

introducing a compliance mapping pro-
cess for different areas of the Bank while 
cooperating with the Operation Risk 
Department to cover identified gaps.
•   Implementing the international stand-
ards of Corporate Governance fully.

The Compliance 
department works 
closely with the 
Money Laundering 
Combating Unit of 
the Central Bank of 
Egypt to help shield 
CIB from potential 
losses.

Success Story

Orascom Hotels and Development
Developing State-Of-The-Art 
Communities

Orascom Hotels and Development (OHD) 
is one of the leading property develop-
ers in the Middle East with a portfolio 
including a range of integrated communi-
ties, major hotels and marinas, in addition 
to the ancillary infrastructure required 
for these establishments. They are one 
of CIB’s biggest corporate clients, and 
a regional heavyweight in the property 
development industry.  

CIB’s relationship with the group dates 
back to 1994, when CIB helped finance the 
development of El Gouna, the premier Red 
Sea resort town, through a combination of 
tailored debt facilities and medium term 
loans arranged by industry specialists in 
the Bank’s corporate finance division. The 
successful launch of El Gouna provided 
OHD with a solid basis to expand and 
apply their township model to other 
countries in the Middle East as well as 
in Europe and Africa. After initiating a 
number of projects in Egypt including the 

areas of Aswan, Fayoum and Taba, ODH 
launched developments in Oman, the 
UAE and Jordan, where the Group began 
work on the country’s first resort project, 
located on the Gulf of Aqaba.

In Switzerland, the Group is currently 

undertaking a EUR 1 billion project to 
transform the town of Andermatt into the 
country’s first car-free community and one 
of the most eco-friendly places in Europe. 
With an environmentally conscious vision, 
a well-established reputation and substan-
tial financial means, OHD acts as a pioneer 
in the development of sustainable commu-
nities in every country in which it operates. 
CIB is among several preferred banks 

assisting OHD with project finance as 
the company extends its geographical 
footprint to encompass the entire MENA 
region as well as countries in Europe and 
sub-Saharan Africa.  The Bank fully in-
tends to build on this partnership moving 
forward in 2011.

into the market of financial flows, investment and securities trading with the 100% 
acquisition of CI Capital Holding in 2008. Since then, CI Capital has operated as CIB’s 
full fledged investment banking division, offering financial solutions through its diverse 
platform for Securities Brokerage, Investment Banking, and Asset Management; all 
served by a strong research arm.

Through its brokerage arm, CI Capital offers a wide range of securities brokerage ser-
vices that cater to a variety of clients through several desks, including:

•   E-Trade 
•   GDR

CI Capital has two fully-owned local brokerage companies; Commercial International 
Brokerage Company (CIBC) and Dynamic Securities, both operating through one of the 
widest branch networks, with 11 physical locations.

2010 Accomplishments
In 2010, CI Capital Securities managed to increase its market share more than 2.3% 
to reach 6.34% as opposed to 4.05% in 2009. CI Capital also managed to improve its 
ranking in the Egyptian brokerage market to 2nd as opposed to 4th a year ago. It is 
also worth noting that CIBC was ranked first during the fourth quarter of 2010 with a 
market share of 8.2% and a total trading value of EGP 8.6 billion, which increased CICH 
total market share to 9.1%. In terms of trading value, CI Capital brokerage performance 
was almost stable at EGP 33 billion.

Investment Banking 
Carrying on CIB’s investment banking tradition, which dates back to 1991, CI Capital 
Investment Banking offers some of the most focused, experienced and professional advi-
sory services and execution capabilities in Egypt.

Being part of the investment banking arm of CIB, CI Capital Investment Banking

Mid-Cap Companies
Egypt’s first dedicated unit providing corporate financial advisory and NILEX listing 
to mid-size enterprises, CI Capital Investment Banking is characterized by a strategy 
which reflects the group philosophy and culture as a team of big relationship bankers 
rather than transaction bankers. 

As for CI Capital’s Mid-Cap private equity line of business, CI Capital successfully 
managed its exit from this business line without any reputation damage following high 
level directives earlier this year. In fact, to the contrary, CI Capital positioned itself as 
co-sponsor and manager of the Abraaj Egyptian SME funds platform. The fund’s first 
closing mobilized EGP 150 million and was announced during the Egypt Euromoney 
conference in September 2010.

2010 Accomplishments
CI Capital Investment Banking has executed three M&A and corporate finance deals:

1.   Structuring and placing the first public offering after the financial crisis: 48 million 

common shares of Housing and Development bank, worth EGP 930 million.

2.   Acting as a sell-side advisor for Medco Plast Company, a deal in which Middle East 

Glass Company acquired 60% of Medco Plast.

3.   CI Capital also acted as the exclusive financial advisor to CIB in the sale of its 27.47% 
equity stake in National Vegetable Oils Company and 30.32% equity stake in Nation-
al Stevedoring Company to Cargill.

The company also managed to recruit high caliber talent with international back-
grounds in finance, to enhance its deal-execution teams. In addition, we expanded the 
company’s backlog with various deals bearing a high probability of execution over the 
coming eighteen months.

Asset Management
CI Capital’s asset management arm, “CI Asset Management (CIAM),” was established in 
2004 to manage investment portfolios and mutual funds. CIAM is considered the first 
private institutional asset management firm in Egypt with total assets under manage-
ment of over EGP 10.9 billion in December 2010, versus EGP 8 billion in December 
2009, a 36% increase.

The company now manages five funds, versus four at the end of last year, namely:
•   Osoul, one of the largest and best performing money market funds in Egypt with as-

sets under management of EGP 10.9 billion.

•   Istethmar, the company’s first equity fund launched in April 2006 with assets under 

management of EGP 236.4 million as of December 2010.

•   Aman, a Sharia’a-compliant fund, in cooperation with both CIB and Faisal Islamic 

Bank of Egypt, launched in October 2006 with assets under management of EGP 46.3 
million as of December 2010.

•   Bloom, launched in September 2009 with assets under management of EGP 126.1 mil-

lion as of December 2010.

•   Hemaya, CIAMs first capital-protected fund, launched in August 2010 in cooperation 

with the CIB. Current assets under management amount to EGP 305.3 million.

CIAM also provides portfolio management services to a wide array of CIB and CI 
Capital clients, offering full-discretionary services to high-net-worth individuals and 
institutional investors. Clients are provided with comprehensive personalized services, 
which are tailored to their investment and reporting requirements. 

The list of existing and targeted clients includes Egyptian banks, insurance companies 

and financial institutions, as well as pension funds.

Asia Pacific  
Consolidating its position on the dual gateway between Egypt and Asia, CI Capital has 
established its Asia Pacific office in Hong Kong, becoming the only Egyptian investment 
bank with a footprint in East Asia.

This complements our “Resurrecting the Silk Road” initiative and follows a highly 

successful Egypt Day in Singapore organized by CI Capital in early 2010.

CI Capital Research     
CI Capital Research was established in 2005 as an independent research house to serve 
the Group’s institutional and retail clients. The company was later integrated within CI 
Capital Holding. Previously, CI Capital Research had been the research department of 
CIBC since 1998. The research team comprises some of the most experienced and top 
notch industry and equity analysts in Egypt.

These teams have been merged into sector groupings to cover a wide variety of in-
dustries and companies in the Egyptian and other MENA stock markets, but retaining 
a capacity for bespoke research. This enables a wide range of research products from 
periodicals, short-term trading notes, to longer term thematic pieces, as well as in-depth 
industry studies. In addition, the macro research team tracks, analyses and forecasts 
macroeconomic indicators, while the strategy team organizes and prepares their re-
search for the purposes of the equity analysts. In this way, Research has been useful not 
only for clients looking at the stock market, but for the building of strong relationships 
with CICH clients along the “Silk Route” as they study investment opportunities in the 
country.

2010 Accomplishments
The Research department expanded its equity coverage from 46 to 50 companies 
covering 14 sectors, and now has the widest coverage of the Egyptian market. It also 
launched its regional expansion into other MENA countries, an effort which is expected 
to continue through 2011 as more companies and countries are added to the scope of CI 
Capital Research coverage.

During 2010, the following products were launched:
•   Investor’s Guide – Monthly product
•   Egypt Book – Third edition
•   Macro Economic Watch – Monthly product
•   Trading Notes
•   Oxford Business Group – Annual book contribution (The Report 2010)
•   Borsageya Newspaper – Weekly contribution.

protection needs of individual and corporate customers with insurance products that

Leveraging the strength of its two respected shareholders, Legal & General of the UK

life insurance industry. 

Having celebrated ten years of operations in Egypt, CIL looks forward to another 
decade of meeting the high growth expectations of its shareholders and contributing 
further to the development of the life insurance sector in Egypt.

Strategic Subsidiaries

Egypt Factors
Egypt Factors S.A.E (EGF) is a joint venture between Commercial International Bank 
and Malta-based FIMBank PLC. Each entity holds 40% ownership, while the Interna-
tional Finance Corporation (member of the World Bank Group) holds the remaining 
20%. EGF is the first non-banking financial institution in the Arab Republic of Egypt 
that specializes wholly in factoring, and in the Register for Factoring Companies, the 
company is #1.

Product Type
With a clear focus on non-traditional trade finance instruments, Egypt Factors is com-
mitted to supporting and promoting Egyptian cross-border trade (i.e., exports as well 
as imports and domestic trade). To this end, Egypt Factors provides a comprehensive 
receivables management service package, comprising the following:

•   Administration & Commercial Collection: EGF will take care of complete debtor 

bookkeeping as well as monitoring and following-up on all outstanding invoices. All 
collection measures will be professionally taken care of by Egypt Factors, covering 
more than 60 countries around the world including Egypt. EGF bridges differences in 
culture, languages, market habits as well as the legal environment through a huge cor-
respondence network - more than 240 correspondents all over the world.

•   Funding: EGF will advance up to 90% of all covered receivables. This turns your sales 
on credit terms into cash sales. Your cash flow improves which increases your flexibil-
ity.

•   Bad Debt Protection: EGF guarantees 100% payment up to a limit established on each 
buyer and we will settle covered and undisputed receivables if not paid after a defined 
period past the due date. Buyers are under periodic evaluation to make sure that up-
coming risks are recognized on time.

Target Market
The company targets mid-cap producers, traders, and service providers conducting 
transactions based on short-term deferred payments. EGF also caters to domestic buyers 
from local or foreign sources, increasing their purchasing power without their banking 
facilities being tied up.

For large corporations, factoring is advantageous, since it provides them with value-

added services and non-recourse funding, protecting them and improving their ef-
ficiency and financial ratios. Meanwhile, factoring is still considered more beneficial to 
medium-size companies, in terms of liquidity and growth.

2010 Accomplishments
Building on a strong first year of official operations, Egypt Factors successfully main-
tained its strong growth rates to reach a portfolio of:

•   140 factoring facilities (mostly with mid-cap companies) with a growth rate reaching 

50%

•   More than EGP 500 million in approved facilities, 100% growth over 2009.  
•   Turnover year-to-date of EGP 900 million, more than 400% growth over 2009

Ongoing Forward Strategy
Our strategy is to expand more in the mid-cap sector, provide such companies with in-
novative, tailored factoring services to best suit their needs, while focusing on the qual-
ity of our factoring portfolio, service, and customer satisfaction.

Success Story

El Sewedy Electric  
Modernising Local and 
Regional Infrastructure

El Sewedy Electric is one of the world’s 
leading manufacturers of integrated 
electrical products and services. With 
factories scattered across the Middle East 
and Africa, the company now exports 
to markets as diverse as Brazil, Spain, 
Eastern Europe and MENA. Having acted 
as a financial advisor   during key acquisi-
tions and expansions, CIB is proud to have 
facilitated the growth that transformed El 
Sewedy from a family-run enterprise into 
a major multinational company. 

Originally established in 1938 as a fam-

ily business involved specifically in the 
trading of electrical equipment, El Sewedy 
has since expanded its lines of business to 
encompass a wide spectrum of industries 
including engineering and contracting, 
electrical products, wind energy and tele-
communications. These successive expan-
sions necessitated complex cross-border 

deals as the company grew its geographi-
cal footprint to include production sites in 
countries as dispersed as Zambia, Nigeria, 
Ethiopia, Algeria, and Syria. Since 1998, 
CIB has constantly supported this growth 
strategy and provided financial solutions  
to bolster El Sewedy’s expansion into new 
industries. In 2007, CIB saw  the company 
make a historic entry into Europe when 
it acquired Slovenian Iskraemeco, one of 
the world’s most technologically advanced 
producers of metering products and 
services. 

CIB views El Sewedy, like many of its 

corporate clients, as more than just a 
source of lucrative transactions, but also 
as a driver of macro-economic growth 
in Egypt. Working with such clients thus 
generates revenues for CIB while simulta-
neously creating dividends for the Egyp-
tian economy at large.

Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring 
that the company’s strategy and the controls in 
place deliver value to all stakeholders, including 
shareholders, customers, employees and the 
community.

CIB places a strong emphasis on corpo-
rate governance, striving to both align 
business practices with the best interests 
of shareholders, and maximize transpar-
ency through timely information dis-
closure and financial reporting. CIB has 
adopted a sound and effective system of 
corporate governance best practice, with 
a professional leadership team composed 
of executive directors and senior manag-
ers, independent board committees, and 
independent non-executive directors of 
experience and integrity. 

Our corporate governance framework 
ensures that timely and accurate disclo-
sure occurs with respect to material mat-
ters regarding the Bank, its ownership, 
operations and financial performance. 
The Board is also responsible for ensuring 
the equal treatment of all shareholders 
and enforcing sound protection of their 
voting rights. Furthermore, CIB changes 
auditors every five years to ensure objec-
tivity and to benefit from new practices.

The Board of Directors is comprised of 
a majority of non-executive directors, all 
of whom play key roles in the governance 
of the Bank. The breadth of expertise of 
the non-executive directors has cre-
ated a particularly strong Board, whose 
influence is invaluable to the continuing 
strength of CIB.

The Board of Directors 
The Bank’s management structure is 
based upon centralization of controls at 
the head office and at the top manage-
ment level. The management team takes 
guidance from the Board of Directors, 
which sets the overall strategy and ap-
proves all operating policies. 

CIB’s Board of Directors met five times 

over the course of 2010, and currently 
consists of two executive and seven non-
executive members with experience from 
a wide range of industrial sectors. When 
a board seat is vacant, the Compensation 
and Governance Committee is responsi-
ble for nominating a member, subject to 
the Board’s consent, who is then formally 
appointed after gaining approval at the 
General Assembly and from the Central 
Bank of Egypt. The Board meets at least 
four times annually. 

In July 2009, Actis, an emerging market 

private equity specialist, acquired 50% 
of the stake in CIB that was originally 
held by the Ripplewood consortium. In 
December 2009, New York-based Ripple-
wood sold its remaining residual stake in 
CIB, thus marking the successful transi-
tion of CIB’s strategic partnership to be 
with Actis, who is now the single largest 
shareholder in the Bank. Accordingly, 
the Board of Directors in its new and 
expanded form consists of:

tee met twice in 2010.

mittee is to assist the Board in fulfill-
ing its risk oversight responsibilities by

est. The High Lending and Investment 
Committee met 47 times throughout the

Success Story

Magdi Yacoub 
Providing Healthcare To  
the Disadvantaged

One of the leading consultants in the 
field of cardiothoracic surgery, Dr. Magdi 
Yacoub is currently working to provide 
cutting edge heart surgeries to disad-
vantaged children across Egypt through 
the Chain of Hope organization and the 
Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation which he 
established.

While he has spent the majority of his 
career abroad as a surgeon, professor and 
consultant in the United Kingdom, Dr. 
Yacoub has worked for more than a dec-
ade to provide much-needed healthcare 
services in his country of birth. Starting 
with the Aswan Heart Centre, now a repu-
table institution of international standing 
currently offering state-of-the-art cardio-
vascular care free of charge, Dr. Yacoub 
seeks to create vehicles through which the 
private sector can effectively contribute to 
the needs of the Egyptian public. 

In early 2010, the Magdi Yacoub Heart 

Foundation requested CIB’s support in 
a number of projects initiated by the or-
ganization. Through this initial partner-
ship, CIB financed 50 open-heart surger-
ies for underprivileged children in need. 
Following this cooperation with Magdi 
Yacoub in Upper Egypt, CIB established 

the CIB Foundation in mid-2010 as part 
of the Bank’s corporate social responsi-
bility policy, dedicating one percent of its 
net annual profit to enhance health and 
nutritional services to Egyptian children. 
The CIB Foundation began disbursing 
funds to organizations serving disadvan-
taged children in November 2010, and 
in early January 2011, signed a second 
cooperative agreement with the Magdi 
Yacoub Heart Foundation, worth several 
million EGP.  

The CIB Foundation will also be fund-
ing a ten-bed suite for the paediatric inten-
sive care unit (PICU), a centre aiming to 
provide world-class medical services free 
of charge to the less privileged. Expected 
to open in August 2011, the PICU antici-
pates performing more than 250 paedi-
atric interventions in 2011, while raising 
occupancy to 80% by 2015. 

By cultivating further partnerships with 
other leading experts and community mem-
bers such as Magdi Yacoub, the CIB Founda-
tion helps drive development projects and 
encourage system-wide social responsibility 
not just in Egypt’s rapidly growing financial 
sector, but in the wider business community 
as well.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social 
Responsibility
Because of our commitment to both our community 
and our work environment, corporate social 
responsibility (CSR) plays a fundamental role in our 
operations at CIB.  Our business impacts our local 
environment and touches the lives of millions of 
people across Egypt. This broad footprint has led to 
CIB’s unique approach to CSR, which is based on six 
key areas.

Community Health 
Seeking to enhance the quality of health 
and nutritional services in Egypt, CIB has 
made donations on a stand-alone basis over 
the past ten years. Observing the positive 
impact these donations have had on the lives 
of children in Egypt, the Bank recently took 
an active measure to move towards more 
effective, sustainable initiatives. In March 
2010, a unanimous decision was taken at 
the CIB General Assembly to develop the 
CIB Foundation, and in May 2010, the 
Foundation was established as a non-profit 
organization dedicated to enhancing health 
and nutritional services to underprivileged 
children in Egypt.

With the generous support of CIB share-
holders, the Bank channels an ongoing al-
location of 1% of its annual net profit to the 
Foundation. In addition, the CIB Founda-
tion was granted a donation license from the 
Ministry of Social Solidarity, allowing it to 
collect donations from Bank stakeholders, 
including customers, shareholders, suppli-
ers, affiliates and employees. It is with this 
funding that the CIB Foundation seeks to 
make valuable contributions to the areas of 
child health and nutrition through various 
multi-faceted initiatives.  The Foundation’s 
short and long term goals include, but are 
not limited to:

•   Purchasing medical equipment for hos-

pitals,

•   Renovating and upgrading hospital infra-

structure

•   Providing surgical and medicinal treat-

ment to underprivileged children.

Additionally, the Foundation seeks to assist 
school feeding programs, support children 
with special needs, and raise community 
awareness on health and nutrition-related 
issues.

The CIB Foundation is dedicated to fol-
lowing up on and comprehensively monitor-
ing past CIB child health-related donations 
made by the Bank in early 2010. Through 
the Magdi Yacoub Foundation in Aswan, 
CIB covered the costs associated with 50 
children’s open heart surgeries. 

The Bank also funded the purchasing of 
56 electric dental chair sets for the Paediat-
ric Ward of the Faculty of Oral and Dental 
Medicine at Cairo University.  Prior to 
receiving the CIB donation, the ward was 
only meeting 20% of the demand for their 
services.  The ward, as the only provider 
of low-cost, specialized paediatric dental 
services, is now expected to open in January 
2011 at full capacity.  

CIB also donated to the Paediatric Surgery 

Unit at Ain Shams University Hospital in 
order to improve the Unit’s efficiency. The 
multi-million Egyptian Pound renovation 
included infrastructure, equipment, medical 
and non-medical furniture. The Unit now 
includes two operating theatres, an intensive 

care room and an immediate care ward, al-
lowing it to perform 3,600 critical operations 
a year.  

A donation was also made to the Breast 
Cancer Foundation of Egypt to cover the 
costs associated with surgery, prostheses and 
lymph edema treatment for 15 breast cancer 
patients.

In November 2010, the CIB Foundation 
signed a protocol of cooperation with the 
Friends of Abou El Reesh Children’s Hos-
pitals Organization for the establishment 
of a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at 
the Abou El Reesh El Mounira Children’s 
Hospital.  The 14-month project will see the 
development of a ten-bed unit, doubling the 
number of critical patients the hospital is 
able to serve.  Once completed, the unit will 
operate alongside the existing ICU, and will 

provide quality service and care to patients 
from across the country.

Community Development
CIB’s firm belief in the importance of devel-
oping a new generation of business leaders 
has led it to engage in several types of spon-
sorship and social involvement activities. In 
2010, the Bank for the fifth consecutive year 
sponsored SIFE, an international organiza-
tion that mobilizes university students to 
make a difference in their communities 
while developing the necessary skills to 
become socially responsible business leaders. 
Specifically, the Bank sponsored a national 
competition as well as the Business Eth-
ics section of the competition, following 
which SIFE Egypt won the 2009 and 2010 
SIFE World Cups, and CIB is proud to have

Corporate Social Responsibility

Now” campaign to promote the seven main 
values of the Athens Principles and facilitate 
their implementation by companies. 

   Achieving Employee  
Satisfaction
At CIB, we believe that the happiness and 
personal development of our employees 
is essential to our growth and success as a 
bank. In 2010, we employed 670  personnel 
across the Bank. In 2010, CIB was named 
the Employer of Choice in the banking sec-
tor. 

CIB’s Code of Conduct Policy calls for 
equal opportunity and fair competition and 
treatment among all of our employees and 
provides protection against harassment and 
intimidation. The Bank also uses a “Whistle 
Blowing” policy whereby staff can raise con-
cerns about possible irregularities confiden-
tially. In order to keep pace with the needs 
of our employees, CIB consistently conducts 
employee satisfaction surveys.

CIB pays special attention to the issue of 
gender equity and leads the Egyptian bank-
ing sector on this issue. In 2009, the Bank 
received the Gender Equity Seal, and was 
the only bank in Egypt and the Middle East 
to be invited to participate in the United 
Nations Development Fund for Women 
(UNIFEM)’s launch of the Gender Equity 
Model Project when Egypt became the 
second country after Mexico to adopt this 
initiative.  

Outstanding Customer  
Experience
At CIB, our customer service standards set us 
apart from   our competitors. We believe that 
industry-leading customer service earns CIB 
the trust and loyalty of our customers. Our 
objective is to provide best in class levels of 
service, a goal that the Bank has been focused 
on since 2007. In 2010, CIB focused on initia-
tives to improve our customer experience. 

Meeting Shareholder  
Expectations
At CIB we believe that dialogue with exist-
ing as well as potential investors and busi-
ness analysts is the best way to ensure trans-
parency and integrity in our dealings with 
clients and the community. We conduct 
business in a way that promotes these two 
values and provides the community with a 
clear understanding of our operations, cor-
porate values, and business relationships.

played a part in these achievements.  

CIB also has a specialized division which 

handles social development funds and 
finance programs provided by governmental 
and international donors. These funds are 
known for their low interest rates and simple 
application procedures. The program aims 
to create new job opportunities and promote 
higher incomes amongst rural populations 
with special emphasis on women and small 
farmers.

CIB’s commitment to supporting Egypt’s 
talented artists, scholars and intellectuals is 
also a pillar of the Bank’s CSR program. CIB 
was proud to sponsor the publication of an 
anthology of the works of Dr. Farid Fadel 
entitled “Egypt, Journey of An Artist”. The 
bank also supports the arts through other 
initiatives, including the Philharmonic and 
Metropolitan Sponsorships.   

With regards to our employees and Com-

munity the Bank is committed to provid-
ing our staff with competitive employment 
packages and ample training opportunities, 
enabling them to contribute positively to 
both CIB and the wider community. 

Respecting Individuals
CIB is a large institution governed by 
strict ethics and regulations. The Bank 
acknowledges and respects the fundamen-
tal principles of human rights as declared 
by the United Nations and set down in the 
Egyptian Labour Law.   

CIB has been recognized by organizations 

including Realizing Rights and the Busi-
ness & Human Rights Resource Centre for 
our public commitment to human rights, 
joining an elite group of international 
companies committed to upholding these 
principles. CIB’s human rights policy covers 
key issues including our code of conduct, 

employment policy, practices and corporate 
social responsibility. 

CIB is also actively involved in the fight 
against human trafficking. The Bank has 
worked with the United Nations Develop-
ment Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the 
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime 
(UNDOC) in addition to other prominent 
international organizations to this end. 
CIB’s Chairman, Mr. Hisham Ezz Al-Arab, 
signed the Athens Ethical Principles, a set of 
declarations against human trafficking, in 
December 2010. Mr. Ezz Al-Arab was joined 
in this act by other private sector CEOs and 
NGO representatives. As a signatory of the 
Principles, CIB declares its commitment to 
the global fight against human trafficking, 
and demonstrates a zero-tolerance posi-
tion towards trafficking in human beings, 
especially women and children. The group 
also launched the “End Human Trafficking

Financial Statements: Unconsolidated

The following is a summary of significant changes in accounting policies and financial statements due to the 
application of these accounting adjustments:

•  Changed the disclosure requirements of the objectives and policies and methods of risk management, financial manage-

ment and capital adequacy and some other explanatory notes.

•  The bank set the relevant parties in accordance with the requirements of the amended and added some new clarifications 

on these parties

•  Collecting all facilities controlled by the bank directly or indirectly, irrespective of the activity of these installations. Previ-

ously, there were no collection facilities that do not work in banking or finance. The users of these independent financial

owner equity.

•  The Bank's in consolidated financial statements use the equity method in associates companies instead of the cost meth-

od.

And For the purpose of applying the equity method The bank compares the cost of acquisition with the fair value of net assets 
of the investee company at the date of acquisition and to determine the difference as goodwill.

And In those cases where the fair value of net assets of the investee company is not available at the date of acquisition 

The book values of net assets regarded as equal to the fair value and identify Goodwill on this basis. And after that

the actual rate of return of those tools. It was not practicable to apply the impact of this accounting change retroactively, 

but that change has been applied to debt instruments acquired or issued on or after the first January 2010

•  The Bank has applied the accounting requirements for payment shown on the shares of such regulations in force on or after 

the first of January 2010. As a result, the income statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 added by amount 

of EGP 66.356.519 is the cost of stock options granted to employees.

•  Purchase accounting was applied to all acquisitions made on or after the first of January 2010 in accordance with the new re-

quirements of accounting, and there was no effect on the bank unconsolidated or consolidated financial statements of the bank.

•  The Bank has conducted Assets Acquired as Settlement of Debts of the purpose of ascertaining the applicability of rules

measured those assets.

2.2  Subsidiaries and Associates

(a) Subsidiaries

•  Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Bank has owned directly or indirectly 

the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half 

of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are 

considered when assessing whether the Bank has the ability to control the entity.

As a result of applying Central Bank of Egypt regulations and the EAS, good will accounting policy had been changed start-
ing January 2009 by annual impairment test in the consolidated financial statements affecting income statement with 20% 
amortization Annually of the good will or the impairment amount which bigger. 

(b) Associates

•  Associates  are  all  entities  over  which  the  Bank  has  significant  influence  but  not  control,  generally  accompanying  a 

shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

2.3  Segment reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject 
to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in 
providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns different 
from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

2.4  Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Egyptian pound, which is the Bank’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions  and balances in foreign currencies
The bank hold accounts in Egyptian pounds and prove transactions in other currencies during the financial year on the 
basis of prevailing exchange rates at the date of the transaction, and re-evaluation of balances of assets and liabilities 
of other  monetary currencies at the end of the financial period on the basis of prevailing exchange rates at that date,

from equity instruments classified as financial  investments available for sale within the fair value reserve in equity

2.5  Financial assets
The Bank classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans 
and receivables; held-to-maturity investments; and available-for-sale financial assets. Management determines the classifi-
cation of its investments at initial recognition.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit 
or loss at inception. 

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repur-
chasing in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for 
which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Derivatives are also categorised as held 
for trading unless they are designated as hedging instruments.

Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss when: 

•  doing so significantly reduces measurement inconsistencies that would arise if the related derivatives were treated as 

held for trading and the underlying financial instruments were carried at amortised cost for loans and advances to cus-

tomers or banks and debt securities in issue’

•  Certain investments, such as equity investments, are managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with 

a documented risk management or investment strategy and reported to key management personnel on that basis are 

designated at fair value through profit and loss.

•  Financial instruments, such as debt securities held, containing one or more embedded derivatives significantly modify 

the cash flows, are designated at fair value through profit and loss. 

Any financial derivative of a valued financial instruments at fair value Not be reclassified Through profit and loss during 
the retention period or force It also does not re-classification any financial instrument, quoting from a range of financial 
instruments at fair value Through profit and loss if this tool has been customized by the bank at initial recognition As 
assessed at fair value through profit and loss.

According to the financial assets for trading which are reclassified in the periods that begin form or after first of Jan 2009 
it is reclassified according to the fair value in the date of reclassification.
Bank in all conditions doesn't reclassify any financial instrument moving to programs of financial instruments reclassi-
fied with fair value from profit and loss or to financial assets program for trading.

(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active market, other than: (a) those that the bank intends to sell immediately or in the short term, which are classified as 
held for trading, or those that the bank upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss; (b) those 
that the bank upon initial recognition designates as available for sale; or (c) those for which the holder may not recover 
substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration. 

(c) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturi-
ties that the Bank's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Bank were to sell other 
than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category would be reclassified as available for sale 
unless in the necessary cases.

(d) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale investments are those intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in re-
sponse to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices.

Regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity and available for 
sale are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the asset. 

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value 
through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are initially recognised at fair value, 
and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or where 
the Bank has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised when 
they are extinguished − that is, when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair 
value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective inter-
est method. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit 
or loss’ category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Gains and losses arising from 
changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised directly in equity, until the financial asset 
is derecognised or impaired.

At this time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss. However, interest 
calculated using the effective interest method and foreign currency gains and losses on monetary assets classified as 
available for sale are recognised in the income statement. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recog-
nised in the income statement when the bank’s right to receive payment is established.

Financial Statements: Unconsolidated

The fair values of quoted investments in active markets are based on current bid prices. If there is no active market for a 
financial asset, or no current demand prices available the Bank establishes fair value using valuation techniques. These 
include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other 
valuation techniques commonly used by market participants If the bank had been unable to estimate the fair value of 
equity instruments classified available for sale, value is measured at cost less any impairment in value.

The Bank re-tab the financial asset tabbed within the range of financial instruments available for sale, which left the 
definition of loans and debts (bonds or loans), quoting a set of tools available for sale to the group of loans and receiva-
bles or financial assets held to maturity - all as the case - when available Bank has the intent and ability to hold these 
financial assets in the foreseeable future or until maturity and are re-tab at fair value in the history of re-tab, and not pro-
cess any profits or losses on those assets that have been recognized previously in equity and in the following manner: 

1 - In case of financial asset re-tab, which has a fixed maturity are amortized gains or losses over the remaining life of 
the investment retained until the maturity date in a manner effective yield is consumed any difference between the value 
on the basis of amortized cost and value on an accrual basis over the remaining life of the financial asset using the ef-
fective yield method, and in the case of the decay of the value of the financial asset is later recognition of any gain or 
loss previously recognized directly in equity in the profits and losses. 

2 - in the case of financial asset which has no fixed maturity continue to profit or loss in equity until the sale of the asset 
or to dispose of it, then be recognized in the profit and loss In the case of erosion of the value of the financial asset is 
later recognition of any gain or loss previously recognized directly within equity in the profits and losses. 

If the Bank to adjust its estimates of payments or receipts are the settlement of the carrying amount of the financial as-
set (or group of financial assets) to reflect the actual cash inflows and the adjusted estimates to be recalculated book 
value and then calculates the present value of estimated future cash flows at the effective yield of the financial instru-
ment and is recognized settlement recognized as income or expense in the profit and loss. 

In all cases, if the bank re-Tab financial asset in accordance with what is referred to The Bank at a later date to increase 
its estimate of the proceeds of future cash result of the increase will be recovered from the cash receipts, is the recogni-
tion of the impact of this increase in settlement of the interest rate effective from the date of change in the estimate and 
not in settlement of the balance of the original notebook in the history of change in the estimate. 

2.6  Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable 
right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the 
liability simultaneously.

And the clauses of agreements to buy treasury bills with a commitment to re-sale agreements and sale of treasury bills with a 
commitment to re-purchase on a net basis within the balance sheet item, treasury bills and other government papers.

2.7  Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
re-measured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including recent market 
transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and options pricing models, as appropriate. 
All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.

Interest income and expense

2.8 
Interest income and expense for all interest-bearing financial instruments, except for those classified as held for trading or 
designated at  fair value through profit or loss, are recognised within ‘interest income’ and ‘interest expense’ in the income 
statement using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of 
allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly 
discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appro-
priate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective 
interest rate, the Bank  estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, pre-
payment options) but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received 
between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums 
or discounts.

Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, inter-
est income is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the 
impairment loss.
when it is collected and this is after redeeming all dues of consumer loans and personnel mortgages also small loans for 
economic activities. as for loans given to institutions it is related to the monetary base also , it raises the return after that , ac-
cording to   rescheduling conditions on the loan till paying 25% from rescheduling payments with a minimum one year without 
being late , if the customer is always paying at his due dates the interest calculated is added to the loan balance which makes 
revenues ( interest on rescheduling without deficits ) without interests aside before rescheduling which is avoiding revenues 
except after paying all the loan balance in the balance sheet before rescheduling 

2.9  Fee and commission income
Fees and commissions are generally recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Loan commitment 
fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with related direct costs) Where it is recorded in the 
records of marginal outside the financial statements, And are recognized as income in accordance with cash basis Income 
is recognized when revenue for fees that represent an integral part of the effective yield of the financial asset are generally 
treated as an amendment to the actual rate of return.

And postponement of fees is the link on the loans if there is a possibility that he will likely be the withdrawal of such loans and 
the fees on the grounds that the link obtained by the Bank are considered compensation for the constant intervention for the 
acquisition of a financial instrument, Then be recognized by the amend the effective interest rate on the loan In the case of the 
end of the link without issuing bank for the loan fees are recognized as income at the end of the period of validity of the link.

Fees are recognized on the debt instruments that are measured at fair value within the income on initial recognition&
 Loan syndication fees are recognised as revenue when the syndication has been completed and the Bank has retained no 
part of the loan package for itself or has retained a part at the same effective interest rate as the other participants. 

Commission and fees arising from negotiating, or participating in the negotiation of, a transaction for a third party – such as 
the arrangement of the acquisition of shares or other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses – are recognised on 
completion of the underlying transaction. 

Portfolio and other management advisory and service fees are recognised based on the applicable service contracts, usually 
on a time-apportion ate basis. Asset management fees related to investment funds are recognised rateably over the period in 
which the service is provided. The same principle is applied for wealth management, financial planning and custody services 
that are continuously provided over an extended period of time. Performance linked fees or fee components are recognised 
when the performance criteria are fulfilled. 

2.10  Dividend income 
Dividends are recognised in the income statement when the bank’s right to receive payment is established.

2.11  Sale and repurchase agreements
Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements (‘repos’) are reclassified in the financial statements deducted from treasury 
bills balance. Securities purchased subject to resell agreements (‘reveres repos’) are reclassified in the financial statements 
added to treasury bills balance. The difference between sale and repurchase price is treated as interest and accrued over the 
life of the agreements using the effective interest method. 

2.12  Impairment of financial assets

(a) Assets carried at amortised cost
The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of 
financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are in-
curred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial 
recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows 
of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. 

The criteria that the Bank uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

•  Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower (for example, equity ratio, net income percentage of sales);

•  Breach of loan covenants or conditions; 

•  Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings;

•  Deterioration of the borrower’s competitive position;

•  The Bank for reasons of economic or legal financial difficulties of the borrower by granting concessions may not agree 

with the Bank granted in normal circumstances;

•  Deterioration in the value of collateral; and

•  Downgrading below investment grade level.  

The objective evidence of impairment loss  for group of financial assets is the clear data indicate to a decline can be 
measured in future cash flows expected from this group since its initial recognition, although not possible to determine 
the decrease of each asset separately, for example increasing the number of failures in payment for One of the banking 
products.

The estimated period between a losses occurring and its identification is determined by local management for each 
identified portfolio. In general, the periods used vary between three months and 12 months. 

The Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are indi-
vidually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant and in this field 
the following are considered. If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually 
assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit 
risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment according to historical default ratios. Assets that are 
individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included 
in a collective assessment of impairment.

If no impairment losses result from the previous assessment of impairment in this case the asset included in a collective 
assessment of impairment.

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of es-
timated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s 
original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and 
the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable 
interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under 
the contract when there is objective evidence for asset impairment. As a practical expedient, the Bank may measure 
impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the 
cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure 
is probable.

For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk 
characteristics (ie, on the basis of the Group’s grading process that considers asset type, industry, geographical loca-
tion, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors). Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of 
future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according 
to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.

For the purposes of evaluation of impairment for a group of a financial assets according to historical default ratios future 
cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of the 
contractual cash flows of the assets in the Bank and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics 
similar to those in the Bank. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect 
the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to 
remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not currently exist.

Estimates of changes in future cash flows for groups of assets should reflect and be directionally consistent with chang-
es  in  related  observable  data  from  period  to  period  (for  example,  changes  in  unemployment  rates,  property  prices, 
payment status, or other factors indicative of changes in the probability of losses in the Bank and their magnitude). The 
methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Bank .

(b) Assets classified as available for sale
The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of 
financial assets classify under available for sale or held to maturity is impaired. In the case of equity investments classi-
fied as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered 
in determining whether the assets are impaired. During Periods start from First of January 2009, The Decrease Consider 
significant cause it become 10% From cost of book value and the decrease consider to be extended if it continue for 
period more than 9 months, and if the mentioned evidences become available then the accumulated loss to be post 
from  the  equity  and  disclosed  at  the  income  statement,  impairment  losses  recognised  in  the  income  statement  on 
equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt 
instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring af-
ter the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement. 

2.13  Real Estate Investments 
The real estate investments represent lands and buildings owned by the Bank In order to obtain rental returns or capital gains  
and therefore does not include real estate assets which the bank exercised its work through or those that have owned by the 
bank as settlement of debts. 

2.14  Fixed Assets 
Land and buildings comprise mainly branches and offices. All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less 
depreciation &impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can 
be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to other operating expenses during the financial period 
in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their 
residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Assets 
that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount 
if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the 
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in other 
operating expenses in the income statement.

2.15  Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation-except goodwill- and are tested annually for impair-
ment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the 
asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less 
costs to sell or value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there 
are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for 
possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.16  Leases
The accounting treatment for the finance lease in accordance with law 95 of 1995, if the contract entitles the lessee to pur-
chase the asset at a specified date and the value selected, or the current value of the total lease payments representing at 
least 90% of the value of the asset. The other leases contracts are considered operating leases contracts.

(a) Being lessee
Finance lease contract recognizes the lease cost, including the cost of maintenance of the leased assets, within the 
expenses in the income statement for the period in which they occurred. If the bank decided to exercise the rights to 
purchase the leased assets, the cost of the right to purchase it as an asset are capitalized and amortized over the useful 
life of the expected remaining life of the asset in the same manner as similar assets.
And recognition of payments under the operating lease expense minus any discounts obtained from the lesser under 
expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract

(b) Being lesser
For assets leased financially, assets are recorded in the fixed assets in the balance sheet and amortized over the ex-
pected useful life of this asset in the same manner as similar assets. Lease income is recognized on the basis of rate 
of return on the lease in addition to an amount corresponding to the cost of depreciation for the period. The difference 
between the recognized rental income and the total finance lease clients' accounts is transferred to the balance sheet 
in the income statement until the expiration of the lease where it is used to off set with a net book value of the leased 
asset. Maintenance and insurance expenses are loaded on the income statement when incurred to the extent they are 
not charged to the tenant.

For assets leased under operating lease of fixed assets, it appears in the balance sheet and amortized over the expected use-
ful life of the asset in the same way as similar assets, and the lease income recorded less any discounts given to the lessee 
on a straight-line method over the contract period.

2.17  Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than three months’ 
maturity from the date of acquisition, including cash and non-restricted balances with central banks, treasury bills and other 
eligible bills, loans and advances to banks, amounts due from other banks and short-term government securities.

2.18  Other  Provisions
Provisions for restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when: the Bank has a present legal or constructive obliga-
tion as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; 
and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by 
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to 
any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions which negated the purpose of wholly or partly repaid within the item other operating income (expense).
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation which be-
come due after one year from the financial statement date using appropriate rate for the due date (without being affected by 
effective tax rate) which reflect time value of money ,and if the due date is less than one year we calculate the estimated value 
of obligation but if it have significant impact then it calculated using the current value.

2.19  Staff Benefits -Share-Based Compensation
The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services received in 
exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense.

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, 
excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market 
vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At 
each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. 
It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, and a corresponding adjustment 
to equity over the remaining vesting period.
The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share 
premium when the options are exercised.

2.20  income tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year includes each of year tax and deferred tax and is recognized in the income state-
ment except for income tax relating to items of equity that are recognized directly in equity.

Income tax is recognized based on net taxable profit using the tax rates applicable at the date of the balance sheet in addition 
to tax adjustments for previous years.

Deferred taxes arising from temporary time differences between the book value of assets and liabilities are recognized in ac-
cordance with the principles of accounting and value according to the foundations of the tax, this is determining the value of 
deferred tax on the expected manner to realize or settle the values of assets and liabilities, using tax rates applicable at the 
date of the balance sheet.

In case there is objective evidence that the Bank will not be able to collect all assets of financial lease debtors, it will be 
reduced to the recoverable amount.

Deferred tax assets of the Bank recognized when there is likely to be possible to achieve profits subject to tax in the future 
to be possible through to use that asset, and is reducing the value of deferred tax assets with part of that will come from tax

benefit expected during the following years, that in the case of expected high benefit tax, deferred tax assets will increase 
within the limits of the above reduced.

2.21  Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at am-
ortised cost; any difference between proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognised in the income 
statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

2.22  Dividends
Dividends deducted form equity in the period, which the General Assembly of the shareholders acknowledges these distribu-
tions. These distributions include the share of workers in the profits and remuneration of the Board of Directors .

2.23  Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.

3. Financial risk management
The Bank’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and those activities involve the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and 

management of some degree of risk or combination of risks. Taking risk is core to the financial business, and the operational risks 

are an inevitable consequence of being in business. The Bank’s aim is therefore to achieve an appropriate balance between risk 

and return and minimise potential adverse effects on the Bank’s financial performance. And the most important types of financial 

risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and other operating risks. Also market risk includes exchange rate risk, rate of return 

risk and other prices risks.  

The Bank’s risk management policies are designed to identify and analyse these risks, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, 

and to monitor the risks and adherence to limits by means of reliable and up-to-date information systems. The Bank regularly 

reviews its risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and emerging best practice.
Risk management is carried out by a risk department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Bank Treasury identifies, 
evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Bank’s operating units. The Board provides written principles 
for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, 
credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments. In addition, credit risk management is 
responsible for the independent review of risk management and the control environment.

3.1  Credit risk
The Bank takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will cause a financial loss for the Bank by fail-
ing to discharge an obligation. Management therefore carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise 
principally in loans and advances, debt securities and other bills. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial ar-
rangements such as loan commitments. The credit risk management and control are centralised in a credit risk management 
team in Bank Treasury and reported to the Board of Directors and head of each business unit regularly.

3.1.1 Credit risk measurement
(a) Loans and advances
In measuring credit risk of loan and advances to customers and to banks at a counterparty level, the Bank reflects 
three components (i) the ‘probability of default’ by the client or counterparty on its contractual obligations; (ii) current 
exposures to the counterparty and its likely future development, from which the Bank derive the ‘exposure at default’; 
and (iii) the likely recovery ratio on the defaulted obligations (the ‘loss given default’).
These credit risk measurements, which reflect expected loss (the ‘expected loss model’) and are required by the Basel 
Committee on Banking Regulations and the Supervisory Practices (the Basel Committee), are embedded in the Bank’s 
daily operational management. The operational measurements can be contrasted with impairment allowances required 
under EAS 26, which are based on losses that have been incurred at the balance sheet date (the ‘incurred loss model’) 
rather than expected losses (Note 3/A). 

(i) The Bank assesses the probability of default of individual counterparties using internal rating tools tailored to the 
various categories of counterparty. They have been developed internally and combine statistical analysis with credit 
officer judgment and are validated, where appropriate. Clients of the Bank are segmented into four rating classes. The 
Bank’s rating scale, which is shown below, reflects the range of default probabilities defined for each rating class.  This 
means that, in principle, exposures migrate between classes as the assessment of their probability of default changes. 
The rating tools are kept under review and upgraded as necessary. The Bank regularly validates the performance of the 
rating and their predictive power with regard to default events.

Nonperforming loans

And the loans expose to default depend on the banks expectation for the outstanding amounts when default occur. 
(iii) Loss given default or loss severity represents the Bank expectation of the extent of loss on a claim should default 
occur. It is expressed as percentage loss per unit of exposure and typically varies by type of counterparty, type and 
seniority of claim and availability of collateral or other credit mitigation.

(b) Debt securities and other bills

For debt securities and other bills, external rating such as Standard & Poor’s rating or their equivalents are used by bank 
Treasury for managing of the credit risk exposures, and if this rating is not available, then other ways similar to those 
used with the credit customers are uses. The investments in those securities and bills are viewed as a way to gain a 
better credit quality mapping and maintain a readily available source to meet the funding requirement at the same time.

3.1.2 Risk limit control and mitigation policies
The bank manages, limits and controls concentrations of credit risk wherever they are identified − in particular, to indi-
vidual counterparties and banks, and to industries and countries. 
The Bank structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation 
to one borrower, or groups of borrowers, and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a 
revolving basis and subject to an annual or more frequent review, when considered necessary. Limits on the level of 
credit  risk  by  individual,  counterparties,  product,  and  industry  sector  and  by  country  are  approved  quarterly  by  the 
Board of Directors.
The  exposure  to  any  one  borrower  including  banks  and  brokers  is  further  restricted  by  sub-limits  covering  on-  and 
off-balance sheet exposures, and daily delivery risk limits in relation to trading items such as forward foreign exchange 
contracts. Actual exposures against limits are monitored daily.
Exposure to credit risk is also managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to 
meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits where appropriate. 
Some other specific control and mitigation measures are outlined below.

(a) Collateral
The bank employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is the taking of 
security for funds advances, which is common practice. The bank implements guidelines on the acceptability of spe-
cific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for loans and advances are:

•  Mortgages over residential properties;

•  Mortgage business assets such as premises, And inventory;

96

CIB • Annual Report 2010

Annual Report 2010 • CIB

97

 
 
 
 
Financial Statements: Unconsolidated

•  Mortgage financial instruments such as debt securities and equities.

Longer-term  finance  and  lending  to  corporate  entities  are  generally  secured;  revolving  individual  credit  facilities  are 
generally unsecured. In addition, in order to minimise the credit loss the bank will seek additional collateral from the 
counterparty as soon as impairment indicators are noticed for the relevant individual loans and advances. 

Collateral held as security for financial assets other than loans and advances is determined by the nature of the instru-
ment. Debt securities, treasury and other governmental securities are generally unsecured, with the exception of asset-
backed securities and similar instruments, which are secured by portfolios of financial instruments. 

(b) Derivatives
The bank maintains strict control limits on net open derivative positions (i.e., the difference between purchase and sale 
contracts), by both amount and term. At any one time, the amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current fair value 
of instruments that are favourable to the bank (i.e., assets where their fair value is positive), which in relation to deriva-
tives is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional values used to express the volume of instruments outstanding. 
This credit risk exposure is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers, together with potential expo-
sures from market movements. Collateral or other security is not usually obtained for credit risk exposures on these 
instruments, except where the bank requires margin deposits from counterparties. 
Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities or equities is made in the expectation of a 
corresponding receipt in cash, securities or equities. Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to 
cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from the Bank market transactions on any single day.

(c) Master netting arrangements
The bank further restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master netting arrangements with counterparties 
with which it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master netting arrangements do not generally result in an 
offset of balance sheet assets and liabilities, as transactions are usually settled on a gross basis. However, the credit 
risk associated with favourable contracts is reduced by a master netting arrangement to the extent that if a default oc-
curs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Bank overall exposure to credit 
risk on derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, 
as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

(d) Credit-related commitments
The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees 
and standby letters of credit carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit – which 
are written undertakings by the Bank on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on the Bank up to 
a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions – are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to 
which they relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.

Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of loans, guar-
antees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Bank is potentially exposed 
to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total 
unused  commitments,  as  most  commitments  to  extend  credit  are  contingent  upon  customers  maintaining  specific 
credit standards. The Bank monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments 
generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.

Impairment and provisioning policies

3.1.3 
The internal rating systems described in Note 3.1.1 focus more on credit-quality mapping from the inception of the 
lending and investment activities.
In  contrast,  impairment    provisions  are  recognized  for  financial  reporting  purposes  only  for  losses  that  have  been 
incurred at the balance sheet date based on objective evidence of impairment Due to the different methodologies ap-
plied, the amount of incurred credit losses provided for in the financial statements are usually lower than the amount 
determined from the expected  loss  model that is used for internal operational management and CBE regulation pur-
poses.

The impairment provision shown in the balance sheet at the year-end is derived from each of the four internal rating 
grades. However, the majority of the impairment provision comes from the bottom two grads. The table below shows 
the percentage of the Bank’s in balance sheet items relating to loans and advances and the associated impairment 
provision for each of the Bank’s internal rating categories:

The internal rating tools assists management to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists under EAS 
26, based on the following criteria set out by the Bank:

•  Cash  flow  difficulties  experienced  by  the  borrower  Breach  of  loan  covenants  or  conditions  Initiation  of  bankruptcy 

proceedings

•  Deterioration of the borrower’s competitive position

•  Bank granted concessions may not be approved under normal circumstances, for economic, legal reasons, or financial 

difficulties facing the borrower

•  Deterioration in the value of collateral

•  Deterioration in the credit situation

The Bank’s policy requires the review of all financial assets that are above materiality thresholds at least annually or 
more regularly when individual circumstances require. Impairment allowances on individually assessed accounts are 
determined by an evaluation of the incurred loss at balance-sheet date on a case-by-case basis, and are applied to all 
individually significant accounts. The assessment normally encompasses collateral held (including re-confirmation of 
its enforceability) and the anticipated receipts for that individual account.

Collectively  assessed  impairment  allowances  are  provided  portfolios  of  homogenous  assets  by  using  the  available 
historical experience, experienced judgment and statistical techniques.

Pattern of measuring the general banking risk

3.1.4 
In  addition  to  the  four  categories  of  measuring  credit  worthiness  discussed  in  disclosure  3.1.1.a  the  management 
makes small groups more detailed according to the CBE rules. Assets facing credit risk are classified to detailed con-
ditions relying greatly on customer›s information , activities , financial position and his regular payments to his debts .

The bank calculates the provisions needed for assets impairment in addition to credit regulations according to special 
percentages determined by CBE.

In the case of increase of impairment loss provision needed according to CBE than that for purposes of making the 
financial statements according to the EAS , the general banking risk reserve is included in owners equity deducted from 
the retained earning with this increase , this reserve is modified with periodic basis with the increase and decrease , 
which equals the increase in provisions and this reserve is not distributed.

The above table represents the Maximum bank exposure to credit risk at 31 December 2010, without taking account 
of any collateral held. For in balance sheet items, the exposures set out above are based on net carrying amounts as 
reported in the balance sheet.

As shown above, 60.35% of the total maximum exposure is derived from loans and advances to banks and customers; 
23.31% represents investments in debt Instruments.

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal exposure of credit risk to the bank 
resulting from both its loan and advances portfolio and debt Instruments based on the following:

96.28% of the loans and advances portfolio is categorized in the top two grades of the internal rating system.

97.26% of the loans and advances portfolio are considered to be neither past due nor impaired. loans and advances 
assessed on an individual basis valued 
The bank has implemented more prudent processes when granting loans and advances during the financial year ended 
in Dec.31.2010. 83.62% of the investments in debt Instruments are represented in governmental instruments.

3.2 Market risk
Market Risk is defined as the risk that the value of the Bank’s on- and off-balance sheet positions will be adversely affected 
by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or 
commodity prices resulting in a loss to earnings and capital. The Bank segregates the exposure to the market risk into either 
trading or non-trading portfolios.

Market risks are measured, monitored and controlled by the Market Risk Management Department. In addition, regular re-
ports are submitted to the ALCO, Board Risk Committee and the heads of each business unit.

Trading portfolios include those positions that are revalued at the market prices (Mark to Market), arising from market-making 
transactions where the Bank acts as principal with clients or with the market. Non-trading portfolios include those positions 
primarily arise from the interest rate management of the entity’s retail and commercial banking assets and liabilities.

3.2.1 Market risk measurement techniques
As part of the management of market risk, the Bank undertakes various hedging strategies. The Bank also enters into 
interest rate swaps to match the interest rate risk associated with the fixed-rate long-term debt securities and loans to 
which the fair value option has been applied .

The major measurement techniques used to measure and control market risk are outlined below.

(a) Value at risk
The Bank applies a ‘value at risk’ methodology (VAR) to its trading and non-trading portfolios, to estimate the market 
risk of positions held and the maximum losses expected under normal market conditions, based upon a number of as-
sumptions for various changes in market conditions.

VAR is a statistically based estimate of the potential loss on the current portfolio from adverse market movements. It ex-
presses the ‘maximum’ amount the Bank might lose , but only to a certain level of confidence (95%). There is therefore 
a specified statistical probability (5%) that actual loss could be greater than the VAR estimate. The VAR model assumes 
a certain ‘holding period’ until positions can be closed ( 1 month). The Bank is assessing the historical movements in 
the market prices based on volatilities and correlations data for the past five years.

The use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market move-
ments.

As VAR constitutes an integral part of the Bank’s market risk control regime, the Market Risk Management set Soft VAR 
limits, which have been approved by the ALCO, and are monitored and reported on a daily basis to the Senior Manage-
ment. In addition, monthly limits compliance is reported to the ALCO.

(b) Stress tests
Stress  tests  provide  an  indication  of  the  potential  size  of  losses  that  could  arise  under  extreme  market  conditions. 
Therefore, bank computes on a daily basis Stress VaR, combined with Normal VaR to capture the abnormal movements 
in financial markets and to give more comprehensive picture of risk. The results of the stress tests are reviewed by the 
ALCO on a monthly basis and the Board Risk Committee on a quarterly basis.

cial position and cash flows. The Board sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in aggregate for both over-
night and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily. The table below summarizes the Bank’s exposure to foreign 
currency exchange rate risk and Bank’s financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorized by currency.

3.2.4 Interest rate risk
Cash  flow  interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will  fluctuate  because  of 
changes  in  market  interest  rates.  Fair  value  interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  value  of  a  financial  instrument  will 
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Bank takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the 
prevailing levels of market interest rates on both its fair value and cash flow risks. Interest margins may increase as a 
result of such changes but may profit decrease in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Board sets limits on 
the level of mismatch of interest rate reprising that may be undertaken, which is monitored daily by Assets & Liabilities 
Management Dept.

The table below summarizes the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risks. It includes the Bank’s financial instruments at 
carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of reprising or contractual maturity dates.

3.3 Liquidity risk

•  Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when 

they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn.

•  The consequence may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors and fulfill commitments to lend.

3.3.1 Liquidity risk management process

•  The Bank’s liquidity management process, as carried out within the Bank and monitored by a separate team in Assets 

& Liabilities Management Dept, includes:

•  Day-to-day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met. This includes 

replenishment of funds as they mature or is borrowed by customers.

•  The Bank maintains an active presence in global money markets to enable this to happen;

•  Maintaining a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can easily be liquidated as protection against any unforeseen 

interruption to cash flow.

•  Monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and requirements of central bank of Egypt

•  Managing the concentration and profile of debt maturities.

•  Monitoring and reporting take the form of cash flow measurement and projections for the next day, week and month 

respectively, as these are key periods for liquidity management. The starting point for those projections is an analysis 

of the contractual maturity of the financial liabilities and the expected collection date of the financial assets. Assets & 

Liabilities Management Dept. also monitors unmatched medium-term assets, the level and type of un drawn lending 

commitments, the usage of overdraft facilities and the impact of contingent liabilities such as standby letters of credit 

3.3.2 Funding approach
Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by a separate jointly by  team in Bank Assets & liabilities Management, li-
abilities Investments and Bank Insurance  to maintain  a wide diversification by currency, provider, product and term.

3.3.3 Non-derivative cash flows
The table below presents the cash flows payable by the Bank under non-derivative financial liabilities by remaining con-
tractual maturities at and the maturities assumption for non contractual  products on the basis of  there behavior studies 
of balance sheet date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted  cash flows, whereas the 
Bank manages the inherent liquidity risk based on expected undiscounted cash inflows.

Due from banks
The fair value of floating rate placements and overnight deposits is their carrying amount. The estimated fair value of 
fixed  interest  bearing  deposits  is  based  on  discounted  cash  flows  using  prevailing  money-market  interest  rates  for 
debts with similar credit risk and remaining maturity.

Loans and overdrafts to banks
Loans and banking facilities represented in loans not from deposits at banks. The expected fair value of the loans and 
facilities represents the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be collected. Cash flows are discounted us-
ing the current market rate to determine fair value.

Loans and overdrafts  to customers
Loans and advances are net of provisions for impairment. The estimated fair value of loans and advances represents 
the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received.

Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates to determine fair value.

Financial Investments
Investment securities include only interest-bearing assets held to maturity; assets classified as available for sale are 
measured at fair value. Fair value for held-to-maturity assets is based on market prices or broker/dealer price quota-
tions.  Where  this  information  is  not  available,  fair  value  is  estimated  using  quoted  market  prices  for  securities  with 
similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics.

Due to other banks and customers, other deposits and other borrowings 
The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes non-interest-bearing deposits, is the amount 
repayable on demand. The estimated fair value of fixed interest-bearing deposits and other borrowings not quoted in 
an active market is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for new debts with similar remaining maturity.

•  Central bank Of Egypt requires the following:

•  Hold the minimum level of the issued and paid up capital of EGP500 Million

•  Maintain a ratio of total regulatory capital to the risk weighted asset or above the agreed minimum of 10%.

- Tier One:
Tier one, consisting of paid-in capital (after deducting the book value of treasury shares), and retained earnings and  
reserves resulting from the distribution of  profits with the exception of banking risk reserve  and deducting there from 
previously recognized goodwill and any transferred loss

- Tier Two:
Qualifying subordinated loan capital , which consists of the equivalent of the risk allocation year according to the princi-
ples  of credit issued by the Central Bank of Egypt for  not more than 1.25% of total assets and liabilities weighted with 
risk, loans  / deposits support in excess of the schedule of five years (with consumption of 20% of their value in each 
year of the last five years of the schedule) and 45% of the increase between the fair value and book value for each of 
the financial investments available for sale and held to maturity in subsidiaries.

When calculating the total dominator of capital adequacy, it shall not exceed the capital cushions (Qualifying subordinated 
loan capital) for share capital and loans not to increase (deposits) support for half of the share capital. Assets are risk weight-
ed ranging from zero to 100% classified by the relation of the debtor to all each asset to reflect the credit risk associated 
with it, taking the cash collateral account. These are used for the treatment of off balance sheet items after adjustments to 
reflect the nature of contingency and the potential loss of those amounts The table below summarizes the composition of 
regulatory capital and the ratios of the Bank at the end of financial year and the bank has complied with all Capital adequacy 
requirements as following :

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The Bank makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next finan-
cial year. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and available info.

(a) Impairment losses on loans and overdraft
The Bank reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis. In determining whether an impairment 
loss should be recorded in the income statement, the Bank makes judgments as to whether there is any observable data 
indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease 
can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has 
been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a Bank, or national or local economic conditions that correlate 
with defaults on assets in the Bank. Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit 
risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash 
flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed 
regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. To the extent that the net present 
value of estimated cash flows differs by +/-5%

(b) Impairment of available for-sale equity investments
The Bank determines that available-for-sale equity investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged 
decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making 
this judgment, the Bank evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price. In addition, impairment may be 
appropriate when there is evidence of a deterioration in the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, 
changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flows.

(c) Fair value of derivatives
The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation techniques. 
Where  valuation  techniques  (for  example,  models)  are  used  to  determine  fair  values,  they  are  validated  and  periodically 
reviewed by qualified personnel independent of the area that created them. All models are certified before they are used, 
and models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, 
models use only observable data; however, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correla-
tions require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of 
financial instruments. For example, to the extent that management used a tightening of 20 basis points in the credit spread.

(d) Held-to-maturity investments
The non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are being classified held to matu-
rity. This classification requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Bank evaluates its intention and ability to 
hold such investments to maturity. If the Bank fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circum-
stances  – for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity it will be required to reclassify the entire category as 
available for sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value not amortized cost.

5 Segment analysis

(a) By business segment
The Bank is divided into main business segments on a worldwide basis:

•  Retail banking – incorporating private banking services, private customer current accounts, savings, deposits, investment 

savings   products, custody, credit   and debit cards, consumer loans and mortgages;

•  Corporate banking – incorporating direct debit facilities, current accounts, deposits, overdrafts, loan and other credit facili-

ties, foreign currency and derivative products

•  Investment banking – incorporating financial instruments trading, structured financing, corporate leasing, and merger and 

acquisitions advice.

•  Others – other Bank operations comprise fund management, institutional finance and providing computer services, none of 

which constitutes a separately reportable segment.

Transactions between the business segments are on normal commercial terms and conditions.

(21) Financial derivatives

Derivatives
The bank uses the following financial derivatives for  non hedging purposes.

•  Forward contracts represents commitments of buying foreign and local currencies including unexecuted spot transactions. 

Future  contracts  for  foreign  currencies  and/or  interest  rates  represents    contractual  commitments    to  receive  or  pay  net 

amount on the basis of changes in foreign exchange rates or interest rates,  and/or buying or selling foreign currencies or 

financial instruments in a future date with a fixed contractual price under active financial market.

•  Credit risk is considered low, and future interest rate contracts represents future exchange rate contracts negotiated for case 

by case, these contracts requires financial settlements of any differences in contractual interest rates and prevailing market 

interest rates on future dates based on contractual amount (nominal value) pre agreed upon.

•  Foreign exchange and/or interest rate swap represents commitments to exchange cash flows, resulting from these contracts 

exchange of currencies or interest (fixed rate  versus variable rate for example) or both (meaning foreign exchange and inter-

est rate contracts)/ contractual amounts are not exchanged except for some foreign exchange contracts

•  Credit risk is represented in the expected cost of foreign exchange contracts that takes place if other parties default to fulfill 

their liabilities.

This  risk  is  monitored  continuously  through  comparisons  of  fair  value  and  contractual  amount,  and  to  control  continuously 

through comparisons of fair value and contractual amount, and to control the outstanding credit risk, the bank evaluates other 

parties using the same methods as in borrowing activities.

•  Options contracts in foreign currencies and/or interest rates represents contractual agreements for the buyer (issuer) to seller 

(holders) as a right not an obligations whether to buy (buy option) or to sell (sell option) at a certain day or within certain pe-

riod for a certain amount in foreign currency or interest rate. Options contracts are either traded in the market or negotiated 

between the bank and one of its client (Off balance sheet). The bank exposed to credit risk for purchased options contracts 

only and in the line of its book cost which represent its fair value.

•  The contractual value for some derivatives options considered a base to compare the realized financial instruments on the 

balance  sheet, but it didn’t provide indicator on the projected cash flows  of  the  fair value  for current instruments, those 

amounts doesn’t reflects credit risk or interest rate risk.

•  Derivatives in the banks benefit represent (assets) conversely it represents (liabilities) as a result of the changes in foreign 

exchange prices or interest rates related to these derivatives. Contractual / expected total amounts of financial derivatives 

can fluctuate from time to time and also the range through which the financial derivatives can be in benefit of the bank or 

conversely against its benefit and the total fair value of the financial derivatives in assets and liabilities. hereunder are the fair 

values of the booked financial derivatives.

(34) Share-Based Payments
According to the extraordinary general assembly meeting on June 26, 2006, the bank launched new employees share owner-

ship plan (ESOP) scheme and issued equity-settled share-based payments. Such employees should complete a term of 3 years 

of service in the bank to have the right in ordinary shares at face value (right to share) that will be issued on the vesting date; 

otherwise such grants will be forfeited. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the grant date, and ex-

pensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting year (3 years) with corresponding increase in equity based on estimated number 

of shares that will eventually vest. The fair value for such equity instruments is measured by use of Black-Scholes pricing model.

Details of the rights to share outstanding during the Year are as follows:

 » Outstanding At The Beginning Of The Year

 » Granted During The Year 

 » Forfeited During The Year

 » Exercised During The Year

Outstanding At The End Of The Year

(43) Subsequent Events
•  The Arab Republic of Egypt has encountered certain events that have a significant impact on the economic sectors, in gen-

eral, a matter which may lead to a substantial decline in the economic activities in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there is a 

possibility that the above mentioned events will have a significant impact on the assets, liabilities, its recoverable/ settlement 

amounts and the results of operations in the foreseeable future.

•  At the present time, it is not possible to quantify the effect on the assets and the liabilities included in the company’s financial 

statements, since quantifying the effect of these events relies on the expected range and the time when these events, and its 

consequences, are expected to be finished.

•  The Bank will continue to assess the situation and will quantify any effect on assets and liabilities once the assessment is 

complete.

Auditor's Responsibility

According to the information and explanations given to us – during the financial year ended December 31, 

2010 no contravention of the central bank, banking and monetary institution law No. 88 of 2003.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free 

from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in 

the  financial  statements.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor's  judgment,  including  the  as-

sessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In 

making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation 

and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate 

in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's 

internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 

reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presenta-

tion of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 

audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial information included in the Board of Directors’ report, prepared in accordance 

with Law No. 159 of 1981 and its executive regulations, is in agreement with the Bank’s books of account.

•  The Bank has applied the new accounting requirements for payment shown on the shares of such regulations in force on 

or after the first of January 2010. As a result, the income statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 added by 

amount of EGP 66,356,519 is the cost of stock options granted to employees.

•  Purchase accounting was applied to all acquisitions made on or after the first of January 2010 in accordance with the new 

requirements of accounting, and there was no effect on the bank unconsolidated or consolidated financial statements of 

the bank.

•  The Bank has conducted Assets Acquired as Settlement of Debts of the purpose of ascertaining the applicability of rules 

classified as non-current assets held for sale under other assets, did not result in a difference in the classification or value 

measured those assets.

2.2  Subsidiaries and Associates

(a) Subsidiaries

•  Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Bank has owned directly or indirectly the 

power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the 

voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered 

when assessing whether the Bank has the ability to control the entity.

(b) Associates

2.3  Segment reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and 
returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or 
services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns different from those of segments operating 
in other economic environments.

2.4  Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Egyptian pound, which is the Bank’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions  and balances in foreign currencies
The bank hold accounts in Egyptian pounds and prove transactions in other currencies during the financial year on the 
basis of prevailing exchange rates at the date of the transaction, and re-evaluation of balances of assets and liabilities of 
other monetary currencies at the end of the financial period on the basis of prevailing exchange rates at that date, and is 
recognized in the list Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and the differences resulting from 
the assessment within the following items

•  Net trading income or net income from financial instruments classified at fair value through profit and loss of assets / liabili-

ties held for trading or those classified at fair value through profit and loss according to type .

•  Income (expense) Other operating for the rest of the items

•  the analysis of changes in fair value of financial instruments with monetary foreign currency seed available for sale invest-

holding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method 

classified as financial  investments available for sale within the fair value reserve in equity

of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any ac-

cumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition. 

•  The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Bank. The cost of an 

acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given or/and, equity instruments issued or/and liabilities incurred or/

and assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and 

liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the ac-

quisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of 

the Bank’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair 

value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement under the 

item income (expense) Other operating.

2.5  Financial assets
The Bank classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans and 
receivables; held-to-maturity investments; and available-for-sale financial assets. Management determines the classification of 
its investments at initial recognition.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or 
loss at inception. 
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchas-
ing in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which 
there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading 
unless they are designated as hedging instruments.

Financial Statements: Consolidated

Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss when: 

•   doing so significantly reduces measurement inconsistencies that would arise if the related derivatives were treated as held 

for trading and the underlying financial instruments were carried at amortised cost for loans and advances to customers 

or banks and debt securities in issue’

•  Certain investments, such as equity investments, are managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a 

documented risk management or investment strategy and reported to key management personnel on that basis are desig-

nated at fair value through profit and loss.

•  Financial instruments, such as debt securities held, containing one or more embedded derivatives significantly modify the 

cash flows, are designated at fair value through profit and loss. 

Any financial derivative Of a valued financial instruments at fair value Not be reclassified Through profit and loss during the 
retention period or force It also does not re-classification any financial instrument, quoting from a range of financial instru-
ments at fair value Through profit and loss if this tool has been customized by the bank at initial recognition As assessed 
at fair value through profit and loss.

according to the financial assets for trading which are reclassified in the periods that begin form or after first of Jan 2009 it 
is reclassified according to the fair value in the date of reclassification .
bank in all conditions doesn't reclassify any financial instrument moving to programs of financial instruments reclassified 
with fair value from profit and loss or to financial assets program for trading .

(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an ac-
tive market, other than: (a) those that the bank intends to sell immediately or in the short term, which are classified as held 
for trading, or those that the bank upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss; (b) those that the 
bank upon initial recognition designates as available for sale; or (c) those for which the holder may not recover substantially 
all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration. 

(c) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities 
that the Bank's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Bank were to sell other than an 
insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category would be reclassified as available for sale.

(d) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale investments are those intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response 
to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices.

Regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity and available for 
sale are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the asset. 
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value 
through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are initially recognised at fair value, and 
transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive 
cash flows from the financial assets have expired or where the Bank has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of 
ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished − that is, when the obligation is discharged, 
cancelled or expires. 

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair 
value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ 

category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Gains and losses arising from changes in 
the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised directly in equity, until the financial asset is derecognised 
or impaired.
At this time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss. However, interest 
calculated using the effective interest method and foreign currency gains and losses on monetary assets classified as avail-
able for sale are recognised in the income statement. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in 
the income statement when the bank’s right to receive payment is established.

The fair values of quoted investments in active markets are based on current bid prices. If there is no active market for a 
financial asset, or no current demand prices available the Bank establishes fair value using valuation techniques. These 
include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other valu-
ation techniques commonly used by market participants If the bank had been unable to estimate the fair value of equity 
instruments classified available for sale, value is measured at cost less any impairment in value.

The Bank re-tab the financial asset tabbed within the range of financial instruments available for sale, which left the defini-
tion of loans and debts (bonds or loans), quoting a set of tools available for sale to the group of loans and receivables or 
financial assets held to maturity - all as the case - when available Bank has the intent and ability to hold these financial as-
sets in the foreseeable future or until maturity and are re-tab at fair value in the history of re-tab, and not process any profits 
or losses on those assets that have been recognized previously in 
equity and in the following manner: 

1 - In case of financial asset re-tab, which has a fixed maturity are amortized gains or losses over the remaining life of the 
investment retained until the maturity date in a manner effective yield is consumed any difference between the value on the 
basis of amortized cost and value on an accrual basis over the remaining life of the financial asset using the effective yield 
method, and in the case of the decay of the value of the financial asset is later recognition of any gain or loss previously 
recognized directly in equity in the profits and losses. 

2 - in the case of financial asset which has no fixed maturity continue to profit or loss in equity until the sale of the asset 
or to dispose of it, then be recognized in the profit and loss In the case of erosion of the value of the financial asset is later 
recognition of any gain or loss previously recognized directly within equity in the profits and losses. 

 If the Bank to adjust its estimates of payments or receipts are the settlement of the carrying amount of the financial asset 
(or group of financial assets) to reflect the actual cash inflows and the adjusted estimates to be recalculated book value 
and then calculates the present value of estimated future cash flows at the effective yield of the financial instrument and is 
recognized settlement recognized as income or expense in the profit and loss. 

In all cases, if the bank re-Tab financial asset in accordance with what is referred to The Bank at a later date to increase its 
estimate of the proceeds of future cash result of the increase will be recovered from the cash receipts, is the recognition 
of the impact of this increase in settlement of the interest rate effective from the date of change in the estimate and not in 
settlement of the balance of the original notebook in the history of change in the estimate. 

2.6  Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable 
right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability 
simultaneously.

And the clauses of agreements to buy treasury bills with a commitment to re-sale agreements and sale of treasury bills with a 
commitment to re-purchase on a net basis within the balance sheet item, treasury bills and other government papers.

2.7  Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently               
re-measured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including recent market 
transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and options pricing models, as appropriate. All 
derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.

Interest income and expense

2.8 
Interest income and expense for all interest-bearing financial instruments, except for those classified as held for trading or desig-
nated at  fair value through profit or loss, are recognised within ‘interest income’ and ‘interest expense’ in the income statement 
using the effective interest method. 
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocat-
ing the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts 
estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter 
period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Bank  
estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) but does not 
consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are 
an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.

Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest 
income is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impair-
ment loss.
when it is collected and this is after redeeming all dues of consumer loans and personnel mortgages also small loans for eco-
nomic activities. as for loans given to institutions it is related to the monetary base also , it raises the return after that , according 
to   rescheduling conditions on the loan till paying 25% from rescheduling payments with a minimum one year without being late 
, if the customer is always paying at his due dates the interest calculated is added to the loan balance which makes revenues 
( interest on rescheduling without deficits ) without interests aside before rescheduling which is avoiding revenues except after 
paying all the loan balance in the balance sheet before rescheduling 

2.9  Fee and commission income
Fees and commissions are generally recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Loan commitment fees 
for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with related direct costs) Where it is recorded in the records of 
marginal outside the financial statements, And are recognized as income in accordance with cash basis Income is recognized 
when revenue and according to item (2 / i) for fees that represent an integral part of the effective yield of the financial asset are 
generally treated as an amendment to the actual rate of return.

And postponement of fees is the link on the loans if there is a possibility that he will likely be the withdrawal of such loans and the 
fees on the grounds that the link obtained by the Bank are considered compensation for the constant intervention for the acquisi-
tion of a financial instrument, Then be recognized by the amend the effective interest rate on the loan In the case of the end of the 
link without issuing bank for the loan fees are recognized as income at the end of the period of validity of the link.

Fees are recognized on the debt instruments that are measured at fair value within the income on initial recognition&
 Loan syndication fees are recognised as revenue when the syndication has been completed and the Bank has retained no part 
of the loan package for itself or has retained a part at the same effective interest rate as the other participants. 

Commission and fees arising from negotiating, or participating in the negotiation of, a transaction for a third party – such as the 
arrangement of the acquisition of shares or other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses – are recognised on completion 
of the underlying transaction. 

Portfolio and other management advisory and service fees are recognised based on the applicable service contracts, usually on 
a time-apportion ate basis. Asset management fees related to investment funds are recognised rateably over the period in which 
the service is provided. 

Operating revenues in the holding company:
The activities income of the subsidiaries companies comes as soon as the related service is done, the services are :
-    Consultancy services to the group before the acquisition date.
-    Management fees as follows:

Mutual funds & investment portfolios management fees:
The Management fee is calculated as a percentage of the net value of assets under management according to the agreement’s 
terms and conditions. These amounts are credited to the assets management company’s revenue pool on a monthly accrual 
basis.

•  Commission is calculated, based on certain ratios of mutual fund’s net asset value, for the valuation of mutual fund’s assets. 

This valuation commission is calculated and accrued on a daily basis.  

2.10  Dividend income 
Dividends are recognised in the income statement when the bank’s right to receive payment is established. 

2.11  Sale and repurchase agreements
Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements (‘repos’) are reclassified in the financial statements deducted from treasury bills 
balance. Securities purchased subject to resell agreements (‘reveres repos’) are reclassified in the financial statements added 
to treasury bills balance. The difference between sale and repurchase price is treated as interest and accrued over the life of the 
agreements using the effective interest method. 

2.12  Impairment of financial assets

(a) Assets carried at amortised cost

The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of finan-
cial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if 
there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the 
asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset 
or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. 

The criteria that the Bank uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

•  Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower (for example, equity ratio, net income percentage of sales);

•  Breach of loan covenants or conditions; 

•  Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings;

•  Deterioration of the borrower’s competitive position;

•  The Bank for reasons of economic or legal financial difficulties of the borrower by granting concessions may not agree with 

the Bank granted in normal circumstances;

•  Deterioration in the value of collateral; and

•  Downgrading below investment grade level.  

The objective evidence of impairment loss  for group of financial assets is the clear data indicate to a decline can be meas-
ured in future cash flows expected from this group since its initial recognition, although not possible to determine the de-
crease of each asset separately, for example increasing the number of failures in payment for One of the banking products.

The estimated period between a loss occurring and its identification is determined by local management for each identified 
portfolio. In general, the periods used vary between three months and 12 months. 

The Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually 

156

Financial Statements: Consolidated

significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant and in this field the fol-
lowing are considered. If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed 
financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk charac-
teristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which 
an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of es-
timated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s 
original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and 
the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable inter-
est rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the 
contract. As a practical expedient, the Bank may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an 
observable market price.

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows 
that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.

preciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it 
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured 
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to other operating expenses during the financial period in which they are 
incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their 
residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

–  Buildings 
–  Leasehold improvements 
- Furniture and safes 
–  Typewriters, Collocutors &air-conditions    
- Transportations 
- Computers and Core Systems   
- Fixtures and fittings 

20 years,
3 years, or over the period of the lease if less

For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk 
characteristics (ie, on the basis of the Group’s grading process that considers asset type, industry, geographical location, 
collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors). Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future 
cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the 
contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Assets that 
are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value 
less costs to sell and value in use.

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of 
the contractual cash flows of the assets in the Bank and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics 
similar to those in the Bank. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the ef-
fects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the 
effects of conditions in the historical period that do not currently exist.

Estimates of changes in future cash flows for groups of assets should reflect and be directionally consistent with changes 
in related observable data from period to period (for example, changes in unemployment rates, property prices, payment 
status, or other factors indicative of changes in the probability of losses in the Bank and their magnitude). The methodology 
and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Bank.

(b) Assets classified as available for sale
The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of 
financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged 
decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired. Impair-
ment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. If, 
in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be 
objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is 
reversed through the income statement. 

2.13  Real Estate Investments 
The real estate investments represent lands and buildings owned by the Bank In order to obtain rental returns or capital gains  
and therefore does not include real estate assets which the bank exercised its work through or those that have owned by the 
bank as settlement of debts. 

2.14  Fixed Assets
Land and buildings comprise mainly branches and offices. All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less de-

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in other operat-
ing expenses in the income statement.

2.15  Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation -except goodwill- and are tested annually for impairment. 
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. For the purposes of assessing 
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). 
Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

15/1 Goodwill
Goodwill is capitalized and represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Bank’s share of the 
acquired entity’s net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. For the purpose of calculating goodwill, the fair values 
of acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are determined by reference to market values or by discounting ex-
pected future cash flows to present value. Goodwill is included in the cost of investments in associated and subsidiaries 
investments in the Bank standalone financial statements. Goodwill is tested for impairment whereas the income statements 
are charged by the impairment.
Goodwill is allocated over the cash generating units for the purpose of testing the impairment. The cash generating units 
represent the main segments of the bank.

15/2  Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Bank are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any adjustment 
for impairment losses. Other intangible assets are comprised of separately identifiable items arising from acquisition of 
subsidiaries, such as customer relationships, and certain purchased trademarks and similar items. Amortization is charged 
to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset with definite life. 
Intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortized but they are tested for impairment

2.16  Leases
The accounting treatment for the finance lease in accordance with law 95 of 1995, if the contract entitles the lessee to purchase 
the asset at a specified date and the value selected, or the current value of the total lease payments representing at least 90% of 
the value of the asset. The other leases contracts are considered operating leases contracts.

Being lessee
Finance lease contract recognizes the lease cost, including the cost of maintenance of the leased assets, within the ex-
penses in the income statement for the period in which they occurred. If the bank decided to exercise the rights to purchase 
the leased assets, the cost of the right to purchase it as an asset are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the 
expected remaining life of the asset in the same manner as similar assets.

And recognition of payments under the operating lease expense minus any discounts obtained from the lesser under ex-
penses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract

Being lesser
For assets leased financially, assets are recorded in the fixed assets in the Balance sheet and amortized over the expected 
useful life of this asset in the same manner as similar assets. Lease income is recognized on the basis of rate of return on 
the lease in addition to an amount corresponding to the cost of depreciation for the period. The difference between the rec-
ognized rental income and the total finance lease clients' accounts is transferred to the balance sheet in the income state-
ment until the expiration of the lease where it is used to off set with a net book value of the leased asset. Maintenance and 
insurance expenses are loaded on the income statement when incurred to the extent they are not charged to the tenant.
In case there is objective evidence that the Bank will not be able to collect all assets of financial lease debtors, it will be 
reduced to the recoverable amount.
For assets leased under operating lease of fixed assets, it appears in the balance sheet and amortized over the expected 
useful life of the asset in the same way as similar assets, and the lease income recorded less any discounts given to the 
lessee on a straight-line method over the contract period.

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, ex-
cluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting 
conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance 
sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. It recognises the 
impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, and a corresponding adjustment to equity over the 
remaining vesting period.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share 
premium when the options are exercised.

2.20  Income Tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year includes each of year tax and deferred tax and is recognized in the income statement 
except for income tax relating to items of equity that are recognized directly in equity.

Income tax is recognized based on net taxable profit using the tax rates applicable at the date of the balance sheet in addition 
to tax adjustments for previous years.

Deferred taxes arising from temporary time differences between the book value of assets and liabilities are recognized in accord-
ance with the principles of accounting and value according to the foundations of the tax, this is determining the value of deferred 
tax on the expected manner to realize or settle the values of assets and liabilities, using tax rates applicable at the date of the 
balance sheet.

Deferred tax assets of the Bank recognized when there is likely to be possible to achieve profits subject to tax in the future to be 
possible through to use that asset, and is reducing the value of deferred tax assets with part of that will come from tax benefit 
expected during the following years, that in the case of expected high benefit tax, deferred tax assets will increase within the 
limits of the above reduced.

2.17  Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than three months’ maturity 
from the date of acquisition, including cash and non-restricted balances with central banks, treasury bills and other eligible bills, 
loans and advances to banks, amounts due from other banks and short-term government securities.

2.21  Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amor-
tised cost; any difference between proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognised in the income state-
ment over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

2.18  Other Provisions
Provisions for restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when: the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation 
as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the 
amount has been reliably estimated.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by 
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any 
one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions which negated the purpose of wholly or partly repaid within the item other operating income (expense).
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in 
the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

2.19  Share-Based Compensation
The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services received in ex-
change for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense.

2.22  Dividends
Dividends deducted form equity in the period, which the General Assembly of the shareholders acknowledges these distribu-
tions. These distributions include the share of workers in the profits and remuneration of the Board of Directors.

2.23  Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.

3. Financial risk management

The Bank’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and those activities involve the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and 

management of some degree of risk or combination of risks. Taking risk is core to the financial business, and the operational risks 

are an inevitable consequence of being in business. The Bank’s aim is therefore to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and 

return and minimise potential adverse effects on the Bank’s financial performance. 

The Bank’s risk management policies are designed to identify and analyse these risks, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and 

to monitor the risks and adherence to limits by means of reliable and up-to-date information systems. The Bank regularly reviews its 

risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and emerging best practice.

Risk management is carried out by a risk department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Bank Treasury identifies, 

3.1.2 Risk limit control and mitigation policies

evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Bank’s operating units.

The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign 

exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments. In addi-

tion, credit risk management is responsible for the independent review of risk management and the control environment.

3.1  Credit risk
The Bank takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will cause a financial loss for the Bank by failing to 
discharge an obligation. Management therefore carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally in 
loans and advances, debt securities and other bills. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial arrangements such as 
loan commitments. The credit risk management and control are centralised in a credit risk management team in Bank Treasury 
and reported to the Board of Directors and head of each business unit regularly.

3.1.1 Credit risk measurement
(a) Loans and advances
In measuring credit risk of loan and advances to customers and to banks at a counterparty level, the Bank reflects three 
components (i) the ‘probability of default’ by the client or counterparty on its contractual obligations; (ii) current exposures 
to the counterparty and its likely future development, from which the Bank derive the ‘exposure at default’; and (iii) the likely 
recovery ratio on the defaulted obligations (the ‘loss given default’).

These credit risk measurements, which reflect expected loss (the ‘expected loss model’) and are required by the Basel 
Committee on Banking Regulations and the Supervisory Practices (the Basel Committee), are embedded in the Bank’s daily 
operational management. The operational measurements can be contrasted with impairment allowances required under 
IAS 26, which are based on losses that have been incurred at the balance sheet date (the ‘incurred loss model’) rather than 
expected losses (Note 3/A). 

(i) The Bank assesses the probability of default of individual counterparties using internal rating tools tailored to the various 
categories of counterparty. They have been developed internally and combine statistical analysis with credit officer judg-
ment and are validated, where appropriate. Clients of the Bank are segmented into four rating classes. The Bank’s rating 
scale, which is shown below, reflects the range of default probabilities defined for each rating class.  This means that, in 
principle, exposures migrate between classes as the assessment of their probability of default changes. The rating tools are 
kept under review and upgraded as necessary. The Bank regularly validates the performance of the rating and their predic-
tive power with regard to default events.

The bank manages, limits and controls concentrations of credit risk wherever they are identified − in particular, to indi-
vidual counterparties and banks, and to industries and countries. 
The Bank structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation 
to one borrower, or groups of borrowers, and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a 
revolving basis and subject to an annual or more frequent review, when considered necessary. Limits on the level of 
credit risk by product, industry sector and by country are approved quarterly by the Board of Directors.
The  exposure  to  any  one  borrower  including  banks  and  brokers  is  further  restricted  by  sub-limits  covering  on-  and 
off-balance sheet exposures, and daily delivery risk limits in relation to trading items such as forward foreign exchange 
contracts. Actual exposures against limits are monitored daily.

Exposure to credit risk is also managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to 
meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits where appropriate. 

Some other specific control and mitigation measures are outlined below.

(a) Collateral
The bank employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is the taking of 
security for funds advances, which is common practice. The bank implements guidelines on the acceptability of spe-
cific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for loans and advances are:

•  Mortgages over residential properties;

•  Mortgage business assets such as premises,  and  inventory .

•  Mortgage financial instruments such as debt securities and equities.

Longer-term  finance  and  lending  to  corporate  entities  are  generally  secured;  revolving  individual  credit  facilities  are 
generally unsecured. In addition, in order to minimise the credit loss the bank will seek additional collateral from the 
counterparty as soon as impairment indicators are noticed for the relevant individual loans and advances. 

Collateral held as security for financial assets other than loans and advances is determined by the nature of the instru-
ment. Debt securities, treasury and other governmental securities are generally unsecured, with the exception of asset-
backed securities and similar instruments, which are secured by portfolios of financial instruments. 

(b) Derivatives
The bank maintains strict control limits on net open derivative positions (i.e., the difference between purchase and sale 
contracts), by both amount and term. At any one time, the amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current fair value 
of instruments that are favourable to the bank (i.e., assets where their fair value is positive), which in relation to deriva-
tives is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional values used to express the volume of instruments outstanding. 
This credit risk exposure is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers, together with potential expo-
sures from market movements. Collateral or other security is not usually obtained for credit risk exposures on these 
instruments, except where the bank requires margin deposits from counterparties. 

(iii) Loss given default or loss severity represents the Bank expectation of the extent of loss on a claim should default occur. 
It is expressed as percentage loss per unit of exposure and typically varies by type of counterparty, type and seniority of 
claim and availability of collateral or other credit mitigation.

Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities or equities is made in the expectation of a 
corresponding receipt in cash, securities or equities. Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to 
cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from the Bank market transactions on any single day.

(b) Debt securities and other bills
For debt securities and other bills, external rating such as Standard & Poor’s rating or their equivalents are used by bank 
Treasury for managing of the credit risk exposures. The investments in those securities and bills are viewed as a way to gain 
a better credit quality mapping and maintain a readily available source to meet the funding requirement at the same time.

(c) Master netting arrangements
The bank further restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master netting arrangements with counterparties 
with which it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master netting arrangements do not generally result in an 
offset of balance sheet assets and liabilities, as transactions are usually settled on a gross basis. However, the credit

163

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Financial Statements: Consolidated

risk associated with favourable contracts is reduced by a master netting arrangement to the extent that if a default oc-
curs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Bank overall exposure to credit 
risk on derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, 
as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

(d) Credit-related commitments
The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees 
and standby letters of credit carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit – which 
are written undertakings by the Bank on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on the Bank up to 
a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions – are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to 
which they relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.

Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of loans, guar-
antees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Bank is potentially exposed 
to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total 
unused  commitments,  as  most  commitments  to  extend  credit  are  contingent  upon  customers  maintaining  specific 
credit standards. The Bank monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments 
generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.

3.1.3 Impairment and provisioning policies 
The internal rating systems described in Note 3.1.1 focus more on credit-quality mapping from the inception of the 
lending and investment activities.

In  contrast,  impairment    provisions  are  recognized  for  financial  reporting  purposes  only  for  losses  that  have  been 
incurred at the balance sheet date based on objective evidence of impairment Due to the different methodologies ap-
plied, the amount of incurred credit losses provided for in the financial statements are usually lower than the amount 
determined from the expected  loss  model that is used for internal operational management and CBE regulation pur-
poses.

The impairment provision shown in the balance sheet at the year-end is derived from each of the four internal rating 
grades. However, the majority of the impairment provision comes from the bottom two grads. The table below shows 
the percentage of the Bank’s in balance sheet items relating to loans and advances and the associated impairment 
provision for each of the Bank’s internal rating categories:

The internal rating tools assists management to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists under EAS 
26, based on the following criteria set out by the Bank:

•  Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower

•  Breach of loan covenants or conditions

•  Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings

•  Deterioration of the borrower’s competitive position

•  Bank granted concessions may not be approved under normal circumstances, for economic, legal reasons, or financial 

difficulties facing the borrower

•  Deterioration in the value of collateral

•  Deterioration in the credit situation

The Bank’s policy requires the review of all financial assets that are above materiality thresholds at least annually or 
more regularly when individual circumstances require. Impairment allowances on individually assessed accounts are 
determined by an evaluation of the incurred loss at balance-sheet date on a case-by-case basis, and are applied to all 
individually significant accounts. The assessment normally encompasses collateral held (including re-confirmation of 
its enforceability) and the anticipated receipts for that individual account.

Collectively  assessed  impairment  allowances  are  provided  portfolios  of  homogenous  assets  by  using  the  available 
historical experience, experienced judgment and statistical techniques.

3.1.4 Pattern of measuring the general banking risk
In  addition  to  the  four  categories  of  measuring  credit  worthiness  discussed  in  disclosure  3.1.1.a  the  management 
makes small groups more detailed according to the CBE rules. Assets facing credit risk are classified to detailed con-
ditions relying greatly on customer’s information , activities , financial position and his regular payments to his debts .

The bank calculates the provisions needed for assets impairment in addition to credit regulations according to special 
percentages determined by CBE.

In the case of increase of impairment loss provision needed according to CBE than that for purposes of making the 
financial statements according to the EAS , the general banking risk reserve is included in owners equity deducted from 
the retained earning with this increase , this reserve is modified with periodic basis with the increase and decrease , 
which equals the increase in provisions and this reserve is not distributed.

The above table represents the Maximum bank exposure to credit risk at 31 December 2010, without taking account 
of any collateral held. For in balance sheet items, the exposures set out above are based on net carrying amounts as 
reported in the balance sheet.

As shown above, 60.35% of the total maximum exposure is derived from loans and advances to banks and customers; 
23.31% represents investments in debt Instruments.

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal exposure of credit risk to the bank 
resulting from both its loan and advances portfolio and debt Instruments based on the following:

•  96.28% of the loans and advances portfolio is categorized in the top two grades of the internal rating system.

•  97.26% of the loans and advances portfolio are considered to be neither past due nor impaired.

•  loans and advances assessed on an individual basis valued  EGP 1,002,967,623

•  During the year ended 31 December 2010, the bank’s total loans and advances increased by 22.26% as a result of the 

expansion of the lending business in Egypt. When entering into new markets or  new  industries, to decrease the credit 

risk exposure, the bank focused more on the business with large corporate enterprises or banks with good credit rating 

or retail customers providing sufficient collateral.

3.2 Market risk

3.2.2 Value at Risk (VAR) Summary

Market Risk is defined as the risk that the value of the Bank’s on- and off-balance sheet positions will be adversely affected 
by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or 
commodity prices resulting in a loss to earnings and capital. The Bank segregates the exposure to the market risk into either 
trading or non-trading portfolios.

Market risks are measured, monitored and controlled by the Market Risk Management Department. In addition, regular re-
ports are submitted to the ALCO, Board Risk Committee and the heads of each business unit.

Trading portfolios include those positions that are revalued at the market prices (Mark to Market), arising from market-making 
transactions where the Bank acts as principal with clients or with the market. Non-trading portfolios include those positions 
primarily arise from the interest rate management of the entity’s retail and commercial banking assets and liabilities.

As part of the management of market risk, the Bank undertakes various hedging strategies. The Bank also enters into 
interest rate swaps to match the interest rate risk associated with the fixed-rate long-term debt securities and loans to 
which the fair value option has been applied .

- Trading portfolio VAR by risk type

(a) Value at risk

The Bank applies a ‘value at risk’ methodology (VAR) to its trading and non-trading portfolios, to estimate the market 
risk of positions held and the maximum losses expected under normal market conditions, based upon a number of as-
sumptions for various changes in market conditions.

VAR is a statistically based estimate of the potential loss on the current portfolio from adverse market movements. It ex-
presses the ‘maximum’ amount the Bank might lose , but only to a certain level of confidence (95%). There is therefore 
a specified statistical probability (5%) that actual loss could be greater than the VAR estimate. The VAR model assumes 
a certain ‘holding period’ until positions can be closed ( 1 month). The Bank is assessing the historical movements in 
the market prices based on volatilities and correlations data for the past five years.

The use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market move-
ments.

- Non Trading portfolio VAR by risk type

As VAR constitutes an integral part of the Bank’s market risk control regime, the Market Risk Management set Soft VAR 
limits, which have been approved by the ALCO, and are monitored and reported on a daily basis to the Senior Manage-
ment. In addition, monthly limits compliance is reported to the ALCO.

(b) Stress tests

Stress  tests  provide  an  indication  of  the  potential  size  of  losses  that  could  arise  under  extreme  market  conditions. 
Therefore, bank computes on a daily basis Stress VaR, combined with Normal Board Risk Committee on a quarterly 
basis.

3.2.4 Interest rate risk
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of chang-
es in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate bec 
in market interest rates. The Bank takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market inter-
est rates on both its fair value and cash flow risks. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may 
profit decrease the event that unexpected movements arise. The Board sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest 
rate reprising that may be undertaken, which is monitored daily by Assets & Liabilities Management Dept.

The table below summarizes the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risks. It includes the Bank’s financial instruments at 
carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of reprising or contractual maturity dates.

3.3 Liquidity risk

•  Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when 

they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn.

•  The consequence may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors and fulfill commitments to lend.

3.3.1 Liquidity risk management process

•  The Bank’s liquidity management process, as carried out within the Bank and monitored by a separate team in Assets 

& Liabilities Management Dept, includes:

•  Day-to-day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met. This includes 

replenishment of funds as they mature or is borrowed by customers.

•  The Bank maintains an active presence in global money markets to enable this to happen;

•  Maintaining a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can easily be liquidated as protection against any unforeseen 

interruption to cash flow.

•  Monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and requirements of central bank of Egypt

•  Managing the concentration and profile of debt maturities.

•  Monitoring and reporting take the form of cash flow measurement and projections for the next day, week and month 

respectively, as these are key periods for liquidity management. The starting point for those projections is an analysis 

of the contractual maturity of the financial liabilities and the expected collection date of the financial assets. Assets & 

Liabilities Management Dept. also monitors unmatched medium-term assets, the level and type of un drawn lending 

commitments, the usage of overdraft facilities and the impact of contingent liabilities such as standby letters of credit 

and guarantees.  

3.3.2 Funding approach
Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by a separate jointly by  team in Bank Assets & liabilities Management, li-
abilities Investments and Bank Insurance  to maintain  a wide diversification by currency, provider, product and term.

3.3.3 Non-derivative cash flows
The table below presents the cash flows payable by the Bank under non-derivative financial liabilities by remaining con-
tractual maturities at and the maturities assumption for non contractual  products on the basis of  there behavior studies 
of balance sheet date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted  cash flows, whereas the 
Bank manages the inherent liquidity risk based on expected undiscounted cash inflows.

Due from banks
The fair value of floating rate placements and overnight deposits is their carrying amount. The estimated fair value of 
fixed  interest  bearing  deposits  is  based  on  discounted  cash  flows  using  prevailing  money-market  interest  rates  for 
debts with similar credit risk and remaining maturity.

Loans and overdrafts to banks 
Loans and banking facilities represented in loans not from deposits at banks. The expected fair value of the loans and 
facilities represents the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be collected. Cash flows are discounted us-
ing the current market rate to determine fair value.

Loans and overdrafts  to customers
Loans and advances are net of provisions for impairment. The estimated fair value of loans and advances represents 
the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received.

Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates to determine fair value.

Financial Investments 
Investment securities include only interest-bearing assets held to maturity; assets classified as available for sale are 
measured at fair value. Fair value for held-to-maturity assets is based on market prices or broker/dealer price quota-
tions.  Where  this  information  is  not  available,  fair  value  is  estimated  using  quoted  market  prices  for  securities  with 
similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics.

Due to other banks and customers, other deposits and other borrowings
The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes non-interest-bearing deposits, is the amount 
repayable on demand. The estimated fair value of fixed interest-bearing deposits and other borrowings not quoted in 
an active market is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for new debts with similar remaining maturity.

•  Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored daily by the Bank’s management, employing techniques 

 » Loans/deposits

based on the guidelines developed by the Basel Committee as implemented by the Central bank Of Egypt, for supervisory 

 » 45% of the increase in fair value than the book value for A.F.S 

purposes. The required information is filed with the Authority on a quarterly basis.

•  Central bank Of Egypt requires the following:

•  Hold the minimum level of the issued and paid up capital of EGP500 Million

•  Maintain a ratio of total regulatory capital to the risk weighted asset or above the agreed minimum of 10%.

Tier One:
Tier one, consisting of paid-in capital (after deducting the book value of treasury shares), and retained earnings and  
reserves resulting from the distribution of  profits with the exception of banking risk reserve  and deducting there from 
previously recognized goodwill and any transferred loss

Tier Two:
Qualifying subordinated loan capital , which consists of the equivalent of the risk allocation year according to the princi-
ples  of credit issued by the Central Bank of Egypt for  not more than 1.25% of total assets and liabilities weighted with 
risk, loans  / deposits support in excess of the schedule of five years (with consumption of 20% of their value in each 
year of the last five years of the schedule) and 45% of the increase between the fair value and book value for each of 
the financial investments available for sale and held to maturity in subsidiaries.

When calculating the total dominator of capital adequacy, it shall not exceed the capital cushions (Qualifying subordi-
nated loan capital) for share capital and loans not to increase (deposits) support for half of the share capital. Assets are 
risk weighted ranging from zero to 100% classified by the relation of the debtor to all each asset to reflect the credit risk 
associated with it, taking the cash collateral account. These are used for the treatment of off balance sheet items after 
adjustments to reflect the nature of contingency and the potential loss of those amounts The table below summarizes 
the composition of regulatory capital and the ratios of the Bank at the end of financial year and the bank has complied 
with all Capital adequacy requirements as following :

(4) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Bank makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial 

year. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expec-

tations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and available info.

(a) Impairment losses on loans and overdraft
The Bank reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis. In determining whether an impairment 
loss should be recorded in the income statement, the Bank makes judgments as to whether there is any observable data 
indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease 
can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has 
been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a Bank, or national or local economic conditions that correlate 
with defaults on assets in the Bank. Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit 
risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash 
flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed 
regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. To the extent that the net present 
value of estimated cash flows differs by +/-5%

(b) Impairment of available for-sale equity investments
The Bank determines that available-for-sale equity investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged 
decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making 
this judgment, the Bank evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price. In addition, impairment may be 
appropriate when there is evidence of a deterioration in the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, 
changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flows.

Financial Statements: Consolidated

(c) Fair value of derivatives
The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation techniques. 
Where  valuation  techniques  (for  example,  models)  are  used  to  determine  fair  values,  they  are  validated  and  periodically 
reviewed by qualified personnel independent of the area that created them. All models are certified before they are used, 
and models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, 
models use only observable data; however, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correla-
tions require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of 
financial instruments. For example, to the extent that management used a tightening of 20 basis points in the credit spread.

(d) Held-to-maturity investments
The non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are being classified held to matu-
rity. This classification requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Bank evaluates its intention and ability to 
hold such investments to maturity. If the Bank fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circum-
stances  – for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity it will be required to reclassify the entire category as 
available for sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value not amortized cost.

•  According to the extraordinary general assembly meeting on June 26, 2006, the bank launched new employees share ownership 

plan (ESOP) scheme and issued equity-settled share-based payments. Such employees should complete a term of 3 years of 

service in the bank to have the right in ordinary shares at face value (right to share) that will be issued on the vesting date; oth-

erwise such grants will be forfeited. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the grant date, and ex-

pensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting year (3 years) with corresponding increase in equity based on estimated number 

of shares that will eventually vest. The fair value for such equity instruments is measured by use of Black-Scholes pricing model.

Details of the rights to share outstanding during the Year are as follows:

 » Outstanding At The Beginning Of The Year

 » Granted During The Year 

 » Forfeited During The Year

 » Exercised During The Year

 » Expired During The Year

Outstanding At The End Of The Year

•  The Arab Republic of Egypt has encountered certain events that have a significant impact on the economic sectors, in gen-

eral, a matter which may lead to a substantial decline in the economic activities in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there is a 

possibility that the above mentioned events will have a significant impact on the assets, liabilities, its recoverable/ settlement 

amounts and the results of operations in the foreseeable future.

•  At the present time, it is not possible to quantify the effect on the assets and the liabilities included in the company’s financial 

statements, since quantifying the effect of these events relies on the expected range and the time when these events, and 

its consequences, are expected to be finished.

•  The Bank will continue to assess the situation and will quantify any effect on assets and liabilities once the assessment is 

complete.
