Best bank in the Middle East
Last year’s decision to give QNB the regional award for best bank marked a changing of the guard in the Middle East. QNB had proven itself to be much more than a natural gas-fuelled domestic powerhouse with a few peripheral offices. It had developed critical mass in a host of jurisdictions in the Middle East and was rolling out a clear plan for expansion, and a profitable one at that.
QNB retains the award this year for continuing to do everything that it was applauded for last year, with steadily greater success.
