This report does not constitute a rating action. What's new: Trade and Development Bank JSC (TDB) will likely shift its focus to capital management rather than rapid growth. We expect the bank's loan growth to dip to about 15% in 2026 from 28% in 2025. We forecast broadly stable profitability over the next two years. Annualized return on average assets fell to 1.0% in the first quarter of 2026, from 1.3% in the same period a year ago. This reflects normalization of annualized credit cost ratio to 1.2% from a low of 0.4%. The rise in credit losses mainly came from unsecured retail loans after recent rapid growth. Why it matters: TDB?s slowing growth, steady profits, and moderate dividend payouts
