Sonali Bank posts record Tk1,313cr profit in 2025
The bank’s net interest income declined sharply, falling 77% to Tk337 crore during the year
Sonali Bank, the country's largest state-owned commercial bank, reported a record net profit of Tk1,313 crore in 2025, marking a 33% increase from the previous year, according to its audited financial statements.
The strong performance was primarily driven by a surge in investment income, largely from government bond holdings, which rose 55% year-on-year to Tk9,799 crore.
However, the bank's net interest income declined sharply, falling 77% to Tk337 crore during the year.
