The Bank of Jamaica is reporting higher profitability at the end of December 2025, with net profits rising to about $17 billion, roughly $5 billion more than the year before.
The central bank says the improved results were supported by growth in its overall asset base, which expanded to just over $1.2 trillion, up from about $1.1 trillion at the end of December 2024.
Foreign assets accounted for the bulk of the increase, climbing sharply over the year, while at local assets declined slightly.
The foreign holdings were largely made up of deposits, bonds and other long-term securities, as well as Jamaica's reserve position with the International Monetary Fund.
Local assets continued to be dominated by Government of Jamaica securities, along with a small amounts held in advances to financial institutions and other assets.
