QNB Group CEO Abdulla Mubarak Al-Khalifa with other officials and staff during the annual Strategy Conference in Cairo, Egypt.
Doha, Qatar: QNB Group convened its annual Strategy Conference, this year in Cairo, the capital of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The conference is a platform that brings together the Group’s senior leadership across its international network to align on the Bank’s vision, strategic priorities, performance, group-wide synergies as well as future objectives. The event was attended by more than 100 senior leaders.
This year, the theme of the conference was ‘Capitalising on our core’, reaffirming the Group’s strategic emphasis on its strong wholesale banking foundation and extensive international footprint which are key differentiators from banking competitors in the Middle East and Africa region.
Discussions focused on strengthening these core capabilities while identifying new opportunities to drive sustainable value creation and high-quality earnings growth.
The theme was especially relevant as QNB Group recently renewed its five-year strategy through to 2030.
As part of its strategy, the Group aims to cement its position as one of the leading banks in the Middle East and Africa while increasing the contribution of its international network.
The Group is focused on capturing a larger share of cross-border trade and investment flows by strengthening its presence in key global markets and operating as an international wholesale bank.
By connecting clients across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe, QNB continues to support global business ambitions and reinforce its role as a trusted international financial partner.
In 2025, QNB Group witnessed another year of robust financial performance and growth. QNB achieved a net profit before Pillar Two Taxes of QR18.4bn, up 10% from the previous year, and an increase of 7% in its assets to QR1,391bn.
