Commenting on the awards, Mr. Bassel Gamal Group CEO of QIB said: "It's a great honor for QIB receiving these awards from Global Finance, most of them for a second consecutive year. This recognition mirrors QIB's significant progress in so many different fronts. The common denominator in all these awards is our constant commitment to serve the best interest of our shareholders and our customers, which in turn inspires QIB employees on producing innovative sharia-compliment products and services. "

"QIB’s success derives from the strategic vision of our Board of Directors, and the focused implementation of our business strategy. Another key factor contributing to our growth is the strength of the Qatar banking sector and the economy overall. Our strategy is closely tied with Qatar’s National Vision 2030 and the Government’s commitment to investment in the country’s infrastructure, the diversification of the economy, and the development of a strong private sector" Bassel Gamal added.

QIB demonstrated steady financial growth for the past five years and has been setting a benchmark for the Islamic Financial Industry with its efforts in finding innovative Sharia compliant financial solutions. The Bank has a customer-centered approach to enhance the overall banking experience offered through its branch network and its innovative digital channels.
