Consumer gold purchases in Egypt down 20% in Q2 2025
Arab Finance: Consumer gold purchases in several Arab markets saw a noticeable decline in the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, with gold demand falling by 16% and 20% in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, respectively, according to data from the World Gold Council cited by Al Arabiya. In the UAE and Kuwait, gold purchases dropped by 5% and 2%, respectively. Total consumer gold demand across the four countries reached 42.6 metric tons in Q2 2025, down from 49 tons during Q2 2024 and 45 tons in Q1 2025, signaling a broader regional slowdown. In Egypt, consumer gold purchases declined to 11.5 tons in Q2 2025, compared to 14.4 tons in the same quarter of 2024. However, the figure marks a slight increase from the 11.1 tons bought in Q1 2025. Demand for gold bars in Egypt rose to 5.9 tons from 4.7 tons in Q1 2025, though still below the 7.6 tons recorded in Q2 2024. The improvement suggests a partial recovery in investor appetite for direct gold holdings. Meanwhile, demand for gold jewelry in Egypt fell to 5.7 tons in Q2 2025, down from 6.8 tons a year earlier and 6.4 tons in Q1 2025, indicating weaker interest in gold for ornamental use. © 2025 All Rights Reserved Arab Finance For Information Technology Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Gulf banks post robust loan growth in Q2 amid easing regional rates
The largest banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region reported stronger loan growth in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a year ago, supported by lower regional interest rates and improved economic sentiment. Al Rajhi Banking & Investment Corp., based in Saudi Arabia, recorded the sharpest loan growth among the top five GCC lenders, with year-on-year expansion rising to 19.31 per cent, up from 7.37 per cent a year earlier. Saudi National Bank followed with loan growth accelerating to 12.21 per cent from 10.25 per cent in the same period last year. In the UAE, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the country's largest lender, saw loan growth climb to 10.71 per cent, compared to 6.34 per cent a year earlier. FAB also raised its full-year loan growth forecast to the low double digits, up from a previous single-digit outlook. Emirates NBD Bank similarly revised its loan growth forecast to the low double digits after reporting a 14.28 per cent increase in Q2. Qatar National Bank (QNB) posted loan growth of 9.38 per cent in Q2 and raised its guidance to 7 per cent–9 per cent, up from 5 per cent–7 per cent previously. 'Almost half of the growth came from Turkey,' said Durraiz Khan, senior vice president for group financial consolidation, during a July 14 earnings call. According to a July 10 outlook report by S&P Global Ratings, loan growth in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE is expected to remain strong through the second half of 2025, in line with anticipated rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve, which the GCC nations are likely to mirror. The increase in lending activity also lifted net interest income (NII) across most major banks. Read: QNB's NII rose to $2.34bn from $2.12bn a year earlier, despite margin pressures from its Turkish operations. 'Deposits in Turkey reprice faster than loans,' said Khan, adding that QNB expects its net interest margin (NIM) to improve if Turkey lowers rates later this year. Emirates NBD, which operates in Turkey through its subsidiary DenizBank AS, reported a 22-basis-point decline in its Q2 NIM to 3.36 per cent. However, the bank expects its full-year margin to range between 3.3 per cent and 3.5 per cent, supported by a potential recovery in DenizBank's profitability. NII for the quarter reached approximately $2.28bn, marking a 6 per cent year-on-year increase. According to Fitch Ratings, GCC banks with Turkish exposure may benefit from reduced net monetary losses if inflation in Turkey continues to ease. Al Rajhi Bank led the peer group in NII performance, reporting a 25 per cent year-on-year increase to $1.95bn. Higher net financing, investment income, and banking services fees helped lift its Q2 net profit to $1.64bn, a 31 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.
