The Board of Directors of NBP yesterday approved the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Amid strong macro recovery, NBP delivered an exceptional year of financial performance in 2025 as it reported its highest-ever net profit of PKR 85.9 billion and announced its highest-ever 350 percent cash dividend per share translating into a massive PKR 75 billion of total payout.
