With a long standing presence in the region, BNP Paribas strengthens its proximity with local clients by creating dedicated private banking teams in each of its branches in the Middle East: Barhain, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Lebanon. BNP Paribas Private Banking therefore increases its coverage in the region, by opening new branches in Kuwait and in Riyadh.
BNP Paribas Private Banking develops a dedicated offer for the Middle East clients, and proposes them a direct access to local equities and local funds. The advisory desks established in Bahrain and in Lebanon give access to a highly specialised analysis of the local market. The bank has also developed an Islamic range of products either internally made or selected through an open architecture approach.
This new set-up fully dedicated to private banking activities also provides the opportunity to invest in the main European financial centres such as Geneva, Luxembourg, London and Paris. The Middle East clients have access to the full private banking products and services range, and can benefit from the private banking expertise, in wealth management or estate planning. The “Solution Centre”, based in Geneva, offers flexible approach and tailor-maid solutions for the Ultra High Networth Individuals.
In 2006, BNP Paribas Private Banking will continue to strengthen its teams in the region, confirming the key importance of the Middle East region for BNP Paribas.
BNP Paribas Private Banking has targeted to double its asset under management from USD 5 to 10 bn within 3 years.
