A high powered delegation which included Dubai Islamic Bank's Group Chief Executive Officer Dr Adnan Chilwan, Board members and senior management held key meetings with the bank's local management to ascertain the current status and future plans. The GCEO hosted at two town halls in Karachi and Lahore to a wider audience of more than 1200 staff where he commended the performance given by the bank in 2016, a year that witnessed a two-fold increase in profitability. Whilst highlighting the successes of DIB at both the Group and country level, Dr Chilwan also outlined a detailed 2017 growth strategy for the franchise in the country. This newly defined approach repositions the Bank's medium term plans alongside the transformational growth the Group has achieved in the last few years and effectively aligns the local franchise with DIB Group's overall positioning.
