In the first six months of the fiscal year, the CBE successfully mobilized 245.9 billion birr in deposits, contributing to the overall deposit portfolio surpassing the 1.4 trillion birr mark. This performance represents a 147.6% achievement against the bank’s initial targets, underscoring its strong market presence and customer trust.

Notably, the CBE’s deposit mobilization accounted for 58.3% of the total deposits collected nationwide during the same period, which stood at 423.1 billion birr.
