Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) has hit a remarkable milestone in its journey, reporting over AED 150 billion in total assets for the first time in its history. Alongside this, the bank has now achieved 20 consecutive quarters of profit growth — a feat that few financial institutions can claim.

According to the latest figures for the first half of 2025, the bank’s net profit after tax climbed to AED 1.695 billion, reflecting a solid 16.7% increase compared to the same period last year. Pre-tax profits also rose by the same percentage, reaching AED 1.862 billion.

Speaking about the results, Dr. Bernd van Linder, CEO of Commercial Bank of Dubai, described the twin achievements as a significant turning point for the institution. “Reaching 20 quarters of uninterrupted profit growth and crossing AED 150 billion in assets are not just numbers,” he said. “They reflect years of consistent effort, sound decision-making, and staying focused on our long-term goals.”

The bank’s sustained performance is even more noteworthy given the challenges the global economy has faced over the past few years—from the COVID-19 pandemic to rising interest rates and ongoing supply chain issues. Despite this, CBD has maintained steady growth by staying agile, investing in technology, and focusing on delivering value to its customers and shareholders.

What makes this performance particularly impressive is its consistency. Over the last five years, quarter after quarter, the bank has managed to grow its bottom line—an indication of strong fundamentals and disciplined leadership. This kind of reliability is rare in a sector where even the most established names often face turbulent cycles.

Looking ahead, the bank remains optimistic. With a growing asset base, stable profitability, and confidence in the UAE’s economic outlook, CBD appears well-positioned for continued success in the months and years to come. The focus, according to its leadership, will remain on innovation, digital transformation, and maintaining the trust it has built with clients across the country.
