UCB holds its 501st board meeting

United Commercial Bank PLC Limited (UCB), held its 501st Board meeting on recently at its corporate head office.

The meeting was presided over by the distinguished businessperson and Chairman of UCB, Sharif Zahir. Md Shazzad Hossain, vice-chairman of UCB; Md Yusuf Ali, chairman of the risk management committee; Obaidur Rahman, chairman of the audit committee; and Mohammad Mamdudur Rashid, managing director and CEO of UCB were all present in the meeting along with others from the senior management.

In this meeting, the Board approved the financial statements of Q3'24. The statements have reported a significant 32% increase in net profit for the first nine months of 2024. The bank's net profit after tax reached Tk262 crore, up from Tk199 crore in the same period last year, driven by higher interest income, investment gains, and increased commission and fee income.
