The National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) acquisition of Al Watany Bank of Egypt in 2007 was a strategic alliance with exceptional capabilities and resources that provided the Bank with unique access to the region’s most vibrant segments in an increasingly competitive banking environment. Since the acquisition, the Bank has been dedicated to building a sustainable energetic future for clients and corporations operating in Egypt and the Middle East. In addition to that, NBK Egypt managed to secure loans for thousands of big and small investors and institutional clients, a fact reflected in its increasing performing loan portfolio.
