Risk and capital remain central

The bank reported a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.87 percent for the first half of 2026 and said the ratio exceeded its regulatory requirement by 1.63 percentage points. Separately, Norway's sovereign wealth fund withdrew investments from five Israeli banks, including FIBI, in an October 12, 2026 decision valued at USD 661 million across the group, according to MINA.

Capital strength and payouts

The combination of 20.1 percent credit growth and a 0.40 percent non-accrual loan ratio points to balance-sheet expansion alongside improved asset quality. The 96.00 percent quarterly payout also keeps capital distribution central to the shareholder case, while the 10.87 percent CET1 ratio defines the capital cushion reported for the first half of 2026.
