Under the leadership of Hisham Ezz Al-Arab, the Commercial International Bank (CIB) continues to strengthen its position as Egypt’s leading private-sector bank. Reappointed for a new three-year term in 2026, Al-Arab is steering CIB’s 2026–2030 strategy, centred on sustainable growth, digital innovation and regional expansion. The bank has also advanced its presence in East Africa with the establishment of CIB Kenya, supporting its wider ambitions across the continent. Al-Arab continues to draw on more than four decades of banking experience to drive CIB’s growth and reinforce its role in Egypt and the region.
