For almost a decade, the BME100 has served as a benchmark for financial institutions in the W Middle East. The BME100 is a ranking of financial institutions licensed and domiciled within the Middle East region. To be included in this ranking an institution must have its head office based INTRODUCTION in the Middle East and be regulated by one of the region’s central banks. Every year, in the second quarter of the year, we undertake a study of published audited financial reports from financial institutions in the region. This year we have adopted a rigorous new methodology, which you can read about in detail from page six. Because this marks a new chapter for the BME100, we won’t draw on any comparisons to last year’s rankings. Instead, we will simply present the top 100 banks and the 10 fastest-growing banks in the region. Also in this edition, you’ll find a country-by-country analysis of the results. Notably absent from this section is Iraq, which only has one bank in the index, Mansour Bank. We felt that an analysis of one sole bank might be misrepresentative of the country as a whole. There is also a separate analysis of Islamic banks’ performance. One aspect that remains the same is our user-friendly format. Last year, we updated our design to make the data easier on the eyes. You’ll find the results of the research laid out in graphs and infographics, punctuated with sharp commentary. We launched the BME100 because we wanted to give the region a fact-fuelled analysis of the banking and finance sectors’ performance across the Middle East. We all know that numbers don’t lie, so we thought it best to let them speak for themselves. An interesting story has unfolded over the last nine years. Countries such as Bahrain have loosened their grip on the index whereas banks in the UAE have tightened theirs. Lower oil prices have blacked many banks out of the index, but shifting dynamics have clearly given opportunity to others. Last year saw an Islamic bank top the index for the first time, and this year we have a newly-created entity at number one. Each year the BME100 has told a different story. First Abu Dhabi Bank debuted at number one in this year’s index, following its creation via a merger between First Gulf Bank and National Bank of Abu Dhabi. Could this signal a new dawn in an industry that is widely considered overripe for mergers? Only time will tell. See you next year! bankerme.net 3 6 METHODOLOGY 8 PUTTING THE BEST FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ON THE MAP 10 BEST 100 BANKS P.O.
