Banks across the oil-exporting Gulf, including Kuwait, have seen sharp declines in quarterly profits and some have made losses as a credit crisis hits their lending businesses, they book provisions for bad loans and write down investment losses.

Commercial Bank’s full-year profit fell 16.3 percent to 100.73 million dinars, or 80.6 fils per share, from 120.36 million dinars, or 95.1 fils per share, in 2007, it said in a statement on the bourse website on Monday.

Commercial Bank did not give a reason for the decline in full-year profit.
