National Bank of Kuwait

Few banking players in Middle East & North Africa match the executional depth of National Bank of Kuwait. From Kuwait City, the group manages a workforce of approximately 6k and generates close to $3B in revenue, while steadily widening the gap with regional peers.

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