Dubai - In response to a recently published media report, Citi reiterates that it maintains a robust on-the-ground investment banking presence in the Middle East.
Citi's Dubai-based investment banking team is led by Omar Iqtidar, a Managing Director who is co-head of investment banking for the Middle East and Turkey. Iqtidar has been based in the Middle East since 2008.
The group provides a full range of investment banking services to meet the strategic needs of our clients, including M&A, capital markets, equity trading and distribution and Islamic banking. The Dubai International Financial Center is also home to Citi's Corporate Finance team, which covers the wider Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA) region.
Citi has been in the Arab world for nearly 50 years and views the region as critical to its global franchise. Citi currently offers full scale Corporate and Investment Banking services in the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria.
Francesco Abularach, who was until recently Citi's Head of M&A for the Middle East & Turkey, has been promoted to take on a larger role as head of M&A for CEEMEA. He is based in London.
