The compensation and benefits policy for senior executives was also approved.

Banque Saudi Fransi's profits increased by 7% to SR1.15 billion in the first quarter of 2024, driven by a 27.5% rise in commission income due to higher financing and investment returns.

Specific commission expenses caused a slight decrease in net commission income.

Total operating expenses decreased by 6.2% mainly due to a reduction in provision for expected credit losses on loans and advances.

The text reports several financial developments in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Rajhi Co. for Cooperative Insurance's stock reached a new high of SR142 on April 25.

The Saudi Exchange approved the listing of two government debt instruments, worth SR5.1 billion, to be traded on April 29.

Since the launch of its sukuk program in 2020, Rawabi Holding has issued approximately SR6.5 billion across 18 tranches and redeemed seven tranches worth around SR2.9 billion.

This new issuance is a response to the high market demand.
