London, February 12th, 2013:

Al Rajhi has been named "Best Islamic Bank in the Middle East" by pre-eminent international finance magazine Euromoney. The award will be presented at the 2013 Euromoney Islamic Finance Summit in London.

In recognising the bank for the award, Euromoney Editor Clive Horwood highlighted how "Al Rajhi remains the right bank for these times: conservative, smart, comprehensive. Al Rajhi combines the heft of the main bank with the agility of its Al Rajhi Capital arm. The bank is among the leaders across the board in the region, from investment banking to asset management, brokerage and research businesses."
