Gli Emirati Arabi Uniti e l’Arabia Saudita hanno costruito negli anni un’invidiabile solidità economica, come dimostra la loro posizione al vertice della lista delle banche arabe più sicure nel mondo. Gli Emirati Arabi Uniti infatti si posizionano al secondo posto con sette banche nella lista dei paesi arabi, dopo l’Arabia Saudita, che ha guadagnato il gradino più alto del podio con otto banche.

The list for the 250 safest banks in the world included a total of 20 Arab banks.

The UAE ranked second with seven banks in the list of Arab countries, after Saudi Arabia recorded the highest number in the list with eight.

Kuwait came in third, with two banks followed by Bahrain, Qatar and Jordan, with one bank each, according to the Union of Arab Banks and a report by The Banker.

These 250 banks manage around US$8 trillion in assets across 48 countries, said Wissam Fattouh, Secretary General of the Union of Arab Banks, adding that the methodology used to select these banks was based on the first tranche of capital managed by them.

The Banker‘s Bank Safety Ranking, which analyses the world’s largest 250 banks based on characteristics that help identify their financial stability, shows the Gulf states performing well, while the eurozone periphery remains weak.

The safety of these banks was measured according to eight indices in five groups, The Banker said in July.
