Commenting on the award, QIB's Group CEO Bassel Gamal stated: "We are always humbled by the recognition we receive from recognised, independent publications and their readers. This award is another confirmation to the success of our business strategy which is to offer a complete, modern and efficient Sharia-compliant banking proposition keeping our customers' interests at the heart of everything we do. Our success stems from our core belief that we are here to support the country's economy, all companies operating and all individuals living and working in Qatar."

The award for the "Best Deal of the Year in Qatar" was presented to QIB for the signed QR 1.6bn financing deal with AlJaber Engineering (JEC), which support its project to execute the design and construction of strategic food security facilities and warehouses at Hamad Port.
