First Abu Dhabi Bank

Based in Abu Dhabi, First Abu Dhabi Bank is widely regarded as one of UAE's flagship banking operators. Its scale — about 6k people, around $7B in turnover — translates into genuine strategic weight across Middle East & North Africa.

Long-term partnerships with sovereign and institutional investors give the company unusual visibility on multi-year demand.

“First Abu Dhabi Bank is, in its category, exactly the kind of compounding regional champion the next decade of capital allocation will reward.”

Capital markets have started to price in the durability of the model, and rating agencies have followed.
