Partial record: net profit, ROA, ROE not obtained from primary source (FY2024 annual report not accessible in text form; FY2025 audited financials approved at 75th board meeting but not yet published). Total assets proxied from Basel-III leverage ratio on-balance-sheet exposure figure (BDT 74,213 million solo, Dec 2024) which follows accounting-measure-of-exposure methodology. Total loans derived from disclosed NPL amount (BDT 1,613 million) divided by NPL ratio (3.08%) = BDT 52,370 million. Deposits of BDT 62,740 million are the Dec 2024 figure reported in NewAge (July 2025); May 2025 figure was BDT 68,940 million. Agent banking outlet count and employee count not found in accessible primary sources. Rating valid until 2026-05-18 implies CRISL surveillance review due imminently.
