Khaled Sifri, CEO of Emirates Investment Bank, said , '2015 can be characterized as a stabilising period for Emirates Investment Bank after several years of rapid expansion. Our balance sheet remains healthy with continuous growth in our assets under management, both at the Bank and fiduciary levels.
'With the current uncertain global macroeconomic conditions, low oil prices and the sensitive regional geopolitical situation, volatility remains high in regional and global markets. This, together with the stabilisation of our balance sheet and continued expansion of our capabilities, has had a direct impact on our profits. Nevertheless, we are confident about the medium to long-term fundamentals and look forward to growing our business activities alongside those of our private banking and investment banking clients.'
