Speaking about Noor Bank’s participation, Hussain Al Qemzi, Managing Director of Noor Bank, said: “Year after year, the Bonds, Loans & Sukuk Middle East conference has served as an effective networking platform for Noor Bank. Our participation at this prestigious event provides us with an ideal opportunity to share opinions and insights with our industry peers while examining the latest challenges and opportunities in the sector.â€
