Announcing this at the annual general assembly meeting held at FAB's head office in Abu Dhabi, Group CEO Abdulhamid Saeed said: "2017 was a solid first year for the bank, with its resilient performance reflecting the strategic rationale of the merger, as well as the trust and confidence our shareholders have in us."
