All 27 commercial banks have unveiled their first quarter report of the current fiscal year 2078/79.

Of the 27 banks, only four have reported a decline in profitability in the first quarter compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. All banks have reported a profit nonetheless.

Nepal Bangladesh Bank Limited has witnessed the highest percentage decline in net profit: 27.93%. Meanwhile, Civil Bank Limited has reported the highest percentage increase in net profit: a staggering 201.88% surge from the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.
