National Bank of Malawi (NBM) plc announces a 59% increase in profit for the first half of 2026. The bank reports profit after tax of K133.97 billion for the period January to June 2026, compared with its 2025 half-year results.

Both outlets state that NBM communicates the figures in a company statement and identify the signatories as Board Chairman Grant Kabango, Chief Executive Officer Harold Jiya, Chief Financial Officer Daniel Jere, and Director Madalo Mwenelupembe. While the reports largely mirror each other and focus on the profit figure and percentage increase, they do not add differing interpretations, explanations for the change, or additional financial detail in the excerpts provided.

Overall, the two sources align on what NBM reports—an H1 2026 profit after tax of K133.97 billion and a 59% year-on-year increase—along with the officials named in the bank’s statement.
