GBTI reports $4.5B profit for 2025

Guyana Bank for Trade & Industry Limited (GBTI) and its subsidiaries closed the 2025 financial year with a strong performance, reporting profit after tax of G$4.5 billion. According to Chairman of Edward Beharry Group of Companies, Suresh Beharry, this result was driven by robust loan portfolio growth of 17% and a 29% increase in customer deposits.

“With a capital adequacy ratio of 16.42%, the Bank continues to demonstrate solid financial resilience, prudent risk management, and operational strength,” he said.

In 2025, GBTI also launched its Digital Account Opening and retail loan onboarding, further streamlining the customer experience, and expanded its ATM and POS networks, improving access to its banking services across Guyana.

“As Guyana’s economy thrives, fueled by the oil & gas sector and non-oil growth, GBTI maintained its focus on SME financing, cybersecurity, and governance, positioning itself as a trusted partner for businesses and communities,” Mr. Beharry said, noting that beyond numbers, GBTI continues to champion nation-building as it strives to not just shape the future of banking but redefine it.

The bank said the full 2025 financial statements will be made available following the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.
