or industry, is now more pronounced.

whether loan structuring, navigating complex financial markets, or offering innovative
tools and technology.

Moreover, ADCB's expertise in risk management, debt and equity capital markets (ECM),

sets it apart as a leader in this sector. For example, the bank is ranked among the top 10

and Al Ansari Financial Services on the Dubai Financial Market.
