The transformation of corporate banking from a service to partnership model has been underway for some time now, with a greater emphasis on working alongside clients to help them with their wider business needs.

    In discussion:

    Inside the GCC’s new corporate landscape: How recent oil prices have been a boon to corporations in the UAE and wider Middle East, and how corporate banking needs have changed since the start of the global coronavirus pandemic. 

    Digitising the corporate banking offering: How further digitisation will impact banks’ corporate banking offerings, and the interaction between digital interfaces and traditional relationship management.

    The evolution of ESG: As the importance of ESG factors rises among corporations and governments in the Middle East we look at how standards and metrics can evolve to become more meaningful.

    Building smart corporate banking partnerships: How corporate banks are continuing to move from transactional to wider partnership relationships with clients, and the importance of building a wider ecosystem of service providers. 

    In conversation with:

    • John Everington, Middle East and Africa editor, The Banker
    • Joel Van Dusen, group head of corporate and investment banking, Mashreqbank
