“Our first-half performance was strong, underpinned by the successful
execution of our strategy. This record performance is a clear testament
to the commitment, hard work and resilience shown by the team,” said
Sunil Kaushal, Regional CEO, Africa, and Middle East.
“Over the last six months, we redirected resources within the AME region
to those areas where we have the potential to scale and grow to better
support our client needs. We further secured substantial financing for
key infrastructure projects across several markets in the region,
participated in sustainability initiatives across the region, and
accelerated investments across our digital banking capabilities to
ensure our clients continue to receive a personalised, seamless, and
convenient experience,” said Kaushal.
“Moving forward, we will continue to innovate and support our clients’
evolving needs, with a focus on accelerating our digital strategy and
sustainable finance initiatives. We remain excited about the plethora of
opportunities that are stemming from Africa and the Middle East, with
Egypt and Saudi Arabia being key markets that we will continue to invest
in, as we explore a new era of financial innovation,” he added.
