Highlights
☐
Islamic banking has been gaining ground in the Kuwaiti market, representing
more than 40% of assets and deposits at year-end 2020.
After a series of gradual share acquisitions since 2009, NBK's stake in Boubyan
bank reached 58.4% in 2012. Through Boubyan, NBK aims at diversifying its
income stream, complementing its product offering as well as targeting a new
segment of clients.
■ The size and market share development of Boubyan relative to other Islamic
banks leaves significant room for repositioning the bank and acquiring market
share.
■ As the largest single shareholder, NBK is committed to the future growth and
transformation of Boubyan Bank and establishing a strong presence in the
growing Islamic banking segment.
Leading international consulting firms have assisted Boubyan in developing a
new strategy aiming to differentiate the bank from other players with a clear
focus on HNWI, affluent and mid/large companies.
■ The Bank's transformation and strategy implementation is led by a highly
proficient management team with extensive regional banking experience, with
key positions filled by NBK veterans aligned with the NBK culture.
