Award is a clear acknowledgment of the bank’s role in the incredible transformation the Islamic banking industry has witnessed over the years
Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), the largest Islamic bank in the UAE, has been presented with the Islamic Banking Innovation Award at this year’s Enterprise Agility Awards in a ceremony that took place at the St. Regis Dubai, on December 5, 2017.
Organized by Entrepreneur MENA for the fourth consecutive year, the 2017 Enterprise Agility Awards recognize and honor enterprising organisations and individuals who have distinguished themselves as clear industry innovators and demonstrated outstanding business conduct across a variety of industries that are key drivers of the Middle East’s economies.
Commenting on the award success, Dr. Adnan Chilwan, Group CEO of Dubai Islamic Bank, said, “Receiving this award from Entrepreneur MENA is indeed a great honor. It is an especially proud moment for my team and I because, over the last decade or so, we have strived hard to establish a new, modern and a more inclusive face of Islamic finance in the region and even beyond. At DIB, we believe that leadership is not a static state. It is not just about achieving a set of targets. Maintaining the top position effectively means that one must continuously do things more impactfully. That’s what true innovation is – being dynamic. We have been very vocal and clear about our plans to enhance and expand the concept of Islamic finance across the globe and we remain committed to, what I feel is more an ideology than just a simple goal.”
The annual Enterprise Agility Awards identify businesses and individuals from across the Middle East who have established themselves as clear industry innovators. With each of the winners having set themselves apart from their peers in the region by showcasing a commitment to excellence and thereby setting the benchmark within their respective industries.
The bank was recently acknowledged at the Islamic Retail and Banking Awards as the ‘Strongest Islamic Retail Bank’ in the UAE, collecting the title for an unprecedented third time.
