Saudi Arabia's Al Rajhi Bank posted a 13.6 percent rise in its second quarter net profit, helped by a 12.3 percent jump in operating income, it said in a statement posted on the bourse website on Tuesday.
The country's biggest Islamic lender made 2.1 billion riyals ($560 million) in the three months ended June 30 compared with 1.8 billion riyals a year earlier. The results were in line with forecasts by eight analysts surveyed by Reuters, who had expected the bank to post an average profit of 2 billion riyals.
The bank said it would pay a dividend of 1.25 riyals per share for the first half of the year, after the deduction of zakat.
