Ibrahim Sattout (Partner) and Hussein Azmy (Senior Associate) have contributed an article to Islamic Finance News (Volume 22, Issue 31) exploring the growing trend of M&A activity in Kuwait’s Islamic banking sector amid ongoing global economic uncertainty.

They discuss how economic challenges and regional overbanking are prompting Islamic banks to consolidate in pursuit of sustainable growth. Additionally, they outline some of the regulatory hurdles in this space and make the case for a more flexible M&A framework, one that maintains transparency and safeguards customers, while enabling sustainable growth.

We appreciate the opportunity to share our perspective on an increasingly relevant topic for the sector.
