BankMuscat CEO named Arab banking personality
MUSCAT In recognition of outstanding contributions to the banking sector in Oman and the Arab region, AbdulRazak Ali Issa, chief executive of BankMuscat, was honoured as the Arab Banking Personality of 2012 by Arab Banking Union, according to press release.

Every year, Arab Banking Union honours one distinguished personality in recognition of his leading role and contribution to the Arab banking industry. The high profile award ceremony was held in Berlin, Germany during the 2-day International Arab Banking Summit 2012.

Adnan Ahmad Yousif, chairman, Union of Arab Banks, president and chief executive officer of Albaraka Banking Group (ABG), said: “My hearty congratulations to AbdulRazak on being honoured with this prestigious award. AbdulRazak has made significant contributions to the banking sector, securing major economic gains in Oman and the Arab region. AbdulRazak’s insight will further enhance co-operation and business relations among the banking fraternity in the region.”

AbdulRazak said: “This unique honour undoubtedly brings with it enormous responsibilities and new challenges related to the Omani banking sector in particular and Arab banks in general. I owe this achievement to the valuable opportunities made available to Omanis by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said . BankMuscat is a Renaissance achievement of the Sultanate under the leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said and I am proud to have been associated with the bank in its quest to emerge as the leading financial services provider in the Sultanate. I thank Arab Banking Union and the entire banking fraternity in the region for this recognition and goodwill. I also owe this achievement to the support from the 3,000 plus colleagues at BankMuscat.”
