London, March 15, 2015: Emirates NBD, a leading bank in the Middle East, has been named “Best Private Bank in the UAE for Philanthropy and Social Impact Investing” by pre-eminent international finance magazine Euromoney. The awards were presented at the 2015 Euromoney Private Banking Awards Dinner in London.

On presenting Emirates NBD with the award, Clive Horwood, Editor of Euromoney Magazine, noted: “Each year through our survey the industry recognizes the brightest and the best institutions in global Private Banking. In a challenging and competitive market, this year’s winners have continued to invest in the people and resources necessary to service their clients’ needs.

“Social impact investing, the art of putting money to work for both profit and positive social impact, is still in its infancy as an industry, but it has the potential to become part of the fabric of financial markets. Through the survey respondents, Emirates NBD won the award in recognition of its commitment to driving this industry forward.”

Speaking on the award win, Saod Obaidalla, Head of Private Banking for the Gulf Region at Emirates NBD, said: “Emirates NBD is among the first banks in the region to recognise the power of impact investing. The private banking team is committed to furthering this concept among clients that will better serve the community while providing a healthy return on investment.”
