He will continue to stay on as a director on the board at BMI Bank which is currently finalising the operational aspects of its merger with Al Salam Bank as it converts its business to a Sharia compliant one.
Confirming the announcement, the Bank said in a statement: “It is with regret that the board of directors of BMI Bank would like to confirm that Jamal Al-Hazeem has decided to step down from his position as CEO.
“Jamal, has over the past few years done a commendable job in consolidating the bank’s market leading position within Bahrain through his successful and dynamic leadership and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”
