Banque Centrale Populaire (BCP) wrapped up the first half of 2025 with solid momentum, posting a steady rise in key financial indicators despite a challenging economic backdrop. The group’s net banking income reached 13.9 billion dirhams, marking an 8.4% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth underscores the resilience and efficiency of BCP’s operations in a still-demanding market environment.

One of the main drivers behind this performance was the continued rise in customer deposits and funding resources, which climbed to 394 billion dirhams—a year-on-year increase of 5.5%. This upward trend highlights BCP’s strong ability to attract savings and reinforce its funding base, positioning the group on solid financial ground.

On the lending side, total consolidated customer loans grew to over 319 billion dirhams, up 2.2%. This modest recovery was largely fueled by a renewed dynamism in equipment financing, which has picked up pace after a period of stagnation. The rebound in investment lending points to a cautiously optimistic outlook for business activity and capital expenditure among BCP’s client base.

With growth across core segments and signs of renewed lending activity, BCP is maintaining a stable trajectory while navigating the complexities of today’s financial climate.
