Middle Eastern banks have maintained their impressive growth momentum in 2014’s Top 1000 ranking. Total profits for the region’s lenders hit $38.3bn, up from $34.5bn in 2013. These figures are largely boosted by the performance of Gulf-based institutions, which once again feature prominently across most of the key indicators. Only five banks in the top 25 regional list hail from outside of the Gulf.
