29. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, excluding treasury shares. The Bank has no dilutive potential ordinary shares; therefore the diluted earnings per share equals the basic earnings per share.
