The agreement was signed by Bashir Said al Subhi, AGM and head of treasury and financial institution at BankDhofar and Vikash Sharma, regional head- Middle East and Africa at ICICI Bank. The signing ceremony was attended by executive team members of BankDhofar and ICICI Bank, according to a press statement.
