Guaranty Trust Holding Co Plc has released its half-year 2022 financial result posting pre-tax profit of N103.249 billion for its 2022 half-year, representing a growth of 10.95% year-on-year.

According to the Bank’s unaudited half-year financials submitted to the Nigeria Exchange Limited (NGX), it made significant improvements across key performance indicators.

The result is on the back of an inflationary year, where businesses and their consumers have had to deal with the rising cost of goods and services.
