IPDC Finance PLC has reported a 45.3% year-on-year growth in net profit, reaching Tk150 million in the first half of 2025, mainly driven by improved investment income.

Gross interest income rose by 9.9% to Tk4,643 million, while interest expenses jumped 22.8% to Tk3,690 million due to higher deposit costs, Bangladesh Bank’s policy rate hikes, and challenging economic conditions. Investment income soared by 158.6% to Tk565 million, buoyed by better treasury returns and favourable capital market movements.
