Our priority remains long-term value creation, guided by strong governance, a firm commitment to Shari'a principles and disciplined capital management. We thank our shareholders for their continued confidence as we enter the final quarter of the year.”
Mohammed Ismail Al Emadi, Lesha Bank GCEO, added:
“Our nine-month performance reflects strong execution across all business verticals. We deployed capital selectively into high-conviction opportunities, actively managed our existing holdings and realized value where the timing was right. During the period, we strengthened our deal pipeline, and grew our client base, all of which supported AUM growth and a more stable income base. With an aim to originate quality deals, and a strong capital position, we are well placed to capture opportunities in the final quarter and beyond.”
