Scotia Group posts $16.2 billion nine-month profit

 
Scotia Group Jamaica reported net income of $16.2 billion for the first nine months of its 2026 financial year, a 9.6 per cent increase over the corresponding period last year. 
 
The company said total revenues, excluding credit losses, climbed 11 per cent to $56.4 billion, driven by strong growth in lending and higher fee income. 
 
Customer deposits grew to $57.5 billion of 12 per cent year over year, while the loan portfolio expanded by 16 per cent. 
 
The group's commercial banking segment recorded a 15 per cent increase in deposits as it continued to focus on deepening client relationships and supporting investment in the productive sectors. 
 
Meanwhile, Scotia Investments Jamaica reported a 12 per cent increase in assets under management, while insurance subsidiaries recorded growth in growth-written premiums. 
 
Scotia Group also said its proposal to privatise the company continues to move through the required court approval process. 
 
An extraordinary general meeting has been scheduled for October 7 at the AC Marriott Hotel to consider the transaction.
