The recognition was awarded following consultations conducted by Global Finance editors with corporate financial executives, banking consultants, analysts, and industry experts from around the world.

According to Global Finance, the selection process evaluated banks based on several factors including asset growth, profitability, geographical reach, strategic partnerships, new business development, and product innovation.

The assessment also incorporated feedback from equity analysts, credit rating specialists, banking consultants, and other financial industry participants.

The Global Finance awards programme covers more than 150 countries and territories across regions including the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and Latin America.

Randa Sadik, Chief Executive Officer of Arab Bank, said the recognition reflects the commitment of the bank’s employees as well as the trust of customers, communities, and stakeholders across its markets.

She noted that the award highlights Arab Bank’s strong financial performance and its ability to adapt to evolving market conditions while maintaining a leading position within the regional banking sector.

Sadik added that the bank remains focused on advancing digital innovation and integrating artificial intelligence technologies to enhance customer experiences and strengthen its financial services ecosystem.
