Mr. Faisal Aqil General Manager Retail Banking at Emirates Islamic Bank commented saying: “This sponsorship is in line with the Bank’s practice to promote the Islamic lifestyle in general. We are honoured to be associated with a religious event of this calibre for the second year in a row. It also coincides with the second anniversary of Emirates Islamic Bank, which we launched two years back during Ramadan.”
Also speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sameh Mohamed Awadalla, Head of Branches and Ethmar at Emirates Islamic Bank, said: “I am honoured to participate in the opening press conference announcing this year’s event.
