According to the Superintendent of Banks' report as of December 2025, the banking system's net assets came to Q642,350.0 million (+12.3% year on year) and banks' pre-tax profits to Q10,961.3 million (+3.1%). Banks hold 93.3% of the assets of the regulated financial system: 18 banks (10 of them inside financial groups), 1 more added as of September 2025 and 2 in formation. A caution: the banking regulator's (SIB) PDF could not be reopened in the audit of 22 August 2026 because the site blocks automated downloads; the asset figure was confirmed only through the PDF's search index, and the 93.3%, the 18 banks and the profit figure remain to be cross-checked.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
