Karachi, Pakistan; April 22, 2016:<\/strong> Dubai Islamic Bank\u2019s Group Chief Executive Officer Dr. Adnan Chilwan, on his first ever visit to Pakistan, outlined the detailed growth strategy for the franchise in the country at a town hall attended by the board members, management and the staff of DIB Pakistan. This newly defined strategy repositions the Bank\u2019s medium term plans alongside the transformational growth the Group has achieved as part of their 2014-2016 strategic agenda. The unveiling of the Bank\u2019s new identity and branding reinforces the alignment of the local franchise with DIB Group\u2019s overall positioning. The event also marked and celebrated the successful 10 years of the Bank\u2019s operations in the country.<\/p>\n

Dr. Adnan Chilwan is a leading authority in the field of Islamic Banking & Finance. With solid repute in the industry, he has been recognized by notable international organizations for his efforts in driving the globalization of Islamic Finance to the globally accepted and established standing it has today. For a second year in a row, Dr. Chilwan has been ranked amongst the top 10 at the Top CEO Awards 2016, which recently awarded him the prestigious 6th ranking amongst top 100 CEOs in the GCC region.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Chilwan said: \u201cPakistan is a strategic country for DIB Group and the franchise here is an integral part of our ever-expanding global operations. Over the last two years, our consolidated performance at the group level has been phenomenal, particularly given the challenging global macro-economic landscape. Outperforming the market by 3-4 times consistently over the last eight quarters meant not just capitalizing on existing business but also creating opportunities where none existed. Whilst being cognizant and aware of the business and geo-political environment around us, we worked together to create this platform, which now promises sustained future performance as long as we keep our focus and commitment intact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur strategy is simple,\u201d he added. \u201cTarget the entire market, not just a niche. That\u2019s how we have grown so rapidly and that is exactly how we will sustain this momentum going forward. What we have achieved in the last two years has eclipsed all previous performance and it is now time to replicate the same success in Pakistan. The significant evolution in Islamic banking offerings means that any customer, corporate or retail, can be served. I congratulate you all on a successful decade of DIB operations in Pakistan and look forward to your commitment and focus as we together make Islamic banking and finance, a norm rather than an alternative\u201d.<\/p>\n

Celebrating the 10 years in the country, Junaid Ahmed, CEO DIB Pakistan said: \u201cDIB Group has a rich and dynamic 40 year history. As a pioneer of modern Islamic banking, the bank is viewed as the key influencer in the progression and advancements in the field of Islamic finance. From establishment of operations just 10 years ago to a franchise that boasts more than 240 locations across 62 cities in Pakistan, is phenomenal growth indeed and something we are all extremely proud of. Today\u2019s gathering is a clear reflection of the Group\u2019s commitment to the local franchise in Pakistan as we endeavor to strengthen and grow our business in this market.
