Dhaka, July 21, 2026: Southeast Bank PLC reported a 64% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit during the first half of 2026, driven by higher investment income and lower provisioning against loans and advances.

The bank’s consolidated earnings per share (EPS) also improved significantly, rising to Tk1.64 in the first six months of 2026 from Tk1.00 during the same period last year.
