Congo’s Biggest Lender Rawbank Posts 9% Rise in Annual Profit

Rawbank SA, the biggest lender in the Democratic Republic of Congo, saw after-tax profit increase at 9% to $232 million in 2025.

The pace of growth slowed from an 11% increase in 2024. Revenue as measured by net banking income rose by a third to $682 million, driven by a 10% increase in lending activity as the bank deepened its exposure to mining, infrastructure and small and medium-sized business financing, Rawbank’s chief financial officer said Wednesday.
