balance sheet, revenue and net profit growth.
India has always been a strategic market for
Emirates NBD, with Emirates NBD now being the
only UAE-based bank with a strong branch
presence in India. The recent opening of two
new branches (located in the cities of Gurugram
and Chennai) is reflective of the Group's
commitment to India as a key growth market,
with a focus on facilitating increased volumes of
trade and capital flows between the UAE and
India especially after the signing of the historical
Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement
(CEPA) between the two countries. Emirates
NBD India, with its comprehensive suite of
products across Corporate Banking, Trade
Finance and Treasury, is well positioned to act as
a bridge to capture trade flows within the Group
network. Additionally, the business has
facilitated many local corporates, banks and
non-banking finance companies to raise funds
through offshore debt issuances through 2022.
CHINA AND INDONESIA REPRESENTATIVE
OFFICES
Our China representative office had an excellent
year contributing many successful referrals to the
Head Office and Emirates NBD network locations.
Growing China-UAE ties will bring more
opportunities from this office. Our Indonesia
representative office continues to play an
important role in providing on-the-ground business
and economic insights to the rest of the network.
Information Technology and
Operations (Group IT)
Reflecting on the growing importance of
technology in the financial industry and the need
for a more integrated approach to technology
management, in 2022, Emirates NBD merged the
roles of its Chief Information Officer (CIO) and
Chief Digital Officer (CDO) to better align its
technology strategy with overall business goals
and take a more holistic approach to digital
transformation. This is helping Emirates NBD
Group to better compete in the digital economy
and provide better services to its customers.
Additionally, by combining the expertise of the
CIO and CDO, the Group is more effectively
addressing the challenges and opportunities
presented by new technologies like artificial
intelligence and machine learning.
During 2022, we saw the benefits of our
technology transformation and how it is
fundamentally changing how the Bank operates
and delivers value to our customers. Emirates
NBD's Group IT continued to make strides to
support the digital transformation of the business
by building new banking services and products
including an enhanced version of the Emirates
NBD mobile app for the UAE, an enhanced version
of Liv. mobile app, new businessONLINE for
Emirates NBD Egypt, a fully digital IPO portal and
a new Digital Wealth app. These could only be
enabled by the new and upgraded IT platforms
and infrastructure.
Group IT made several enhancements in the
Bank's systems to introduce various instant
services that increased STP levels to not only
strengthen the Group's sales performance and
enhance customer experience, but also make its
operations more efficient. Group IT also built the
MENA region's most comprehensive and ready-
to-use financial API developer portal, which
provides FinTechs, developers, and corporate
clients with an all-in-one ecosystem to rapidly
develop innovative financial solutions.
