Based on the reports, their profit has increased compared to same period of last FY. Profit of the banks which had totalled Rs 15.51 billion by mid-April of last FY jumped to Rs 21 billion in the same period of the current FY. The banks have increased spread rate by 0.01-1.11 percent by mid-April compared to last month of the FY 2071/72.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">Among the banks, NMB Bank logged the highest profit earning. The bank’s profit grew by 93 percent in mid-April of current FY compared to the same period last of FY. It is due to the profits accumulated by other banks that have merged with NMB.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">“This indicates that banks did not made significant reduction in loan interest rates compared to deposit interest rates during the period of high liquidity,” says Bhuwan Dhahal, CEO of Sanima Bank. The banks had set 2-4 percent interest rates on fixed deposit accounts due to lower investments caused by the devastating earthquake of last year followed by the border blockade. However, there was little reduction in interest rates of various loan categories except the short-term loans. During the period, the banks were charging 11-17 percent interest rate on various loan categories. Other than Prabhu, Standard Chartered, Lumbini, Nepal SBI and Agricultural Development Bank, spread rate of other banks are within the limit set by Nepal Rastra Bank. As per the NRB directive, such rates should not exceed 5 percent.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">Increase in spread rate has also attributed to the rise in the banks net interest income. The net interest income of the banks has increased by 17 percent to Rs 29.15 billion by mid-April of current FY compared to same period of last FY. During the period, deposit collection of the banks has increased by six percent while loans saw increment of only four percent.</p> <p style="text-align:justify"><img alt="" src="/userfiles/images/table%283%29.jpg" style="height:1007px; width:700px" /></p> <p style="text-align:justify"> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2016-05-13', 'modified' => '2016-05-13', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '3373', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2016-05-13 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 4 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '3538', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Ford Exchange and Test Drive Fair', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => ' May 13: Ford, a multinational motor company, has started exchange and test drive fair on Pokhara from May 12.
