Al Ghurair stated: “Kuwait has one of the most successful and sophisticated banking systems in the GCC and holds strategic importance within the overall expansion plans for the bank.”

He added: “Kuwait is a very important market with a mature banking system and a healthy economy. Mashreq will be a trusted gateway for all UAE investments in Kuwait."

The new branch, which has a team of 20, is the latest move by Mashreq to extend its reach in the MENA region ans has expanded its operations in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the UAE and Egypt during the past 12 months.
