Ecobank Group lifts nine-month pre-tax profit 12% year-on-year

Ecobank Group reported profit before tax of $740 million for the nine months to September 2026, up 12% on a year earlier. Net revenue rose 12% to about $2 billion despite inflation, FX volatility and slower activity in parts of Africa.

Pan-African bank group's steady growth in a difficult operating environment is a key benchmark for investors in its African subsidiaries.
