“Al Markaz” Wins “Best Investment Bank in Kuwait” Award

Kuwait Finance House (KFH) announced its win of the “Best Investment Bank in Kuwait” award at the 2026 Euromoney Awards for Excellence, one of the most prominent global award programs in the banking and financial services sector. The awards honor financial institutions that demonstrate outstanding performance in innovation, customer service, deal execution, and market leadership. Winners are selected through a comprehensive evaluation process that considers institutional performance, market activity, client outcomes, and the ability to deliver effective financial solutions in a dynamic operating environment.

This achievement underscores KFH’s position as one of Kuwait’s leading financial institutions and highlights its active role in supporting the continuous development of Kuwait’s capital markets. It also affirms KFH’s strength in investment banking services, particularly in structuring and executing complex transactions across equity and debt markets, including initial public offerings, listings, capital structure advisory, restructuring, exit services, and mergers and acquisitions advisory. These capabilities enable KFH to help its clients achieve their long-term objectives.

The recognition comes as Kuwait’s capital markets continue to evolve, driven by regulatory reforms, growing investor participation, and rising demand for advanced investment banking and corporate advisory solutions. Amid this development, KFH continues to play a pivotal role by supporting corporations, institutions, and family businesses, and by executing strategic transactions that deepen Kuwait’s financial ecosystem and facilitate access to capital through comprehensive advisory solutions.

This award marks KFH’s 18th Euromoney accolade, bringing its total number of honors from prestigious regional and global institutions and platforms to nearly 100. The continuity of these recognitions reflects KFH’s institutional approach, which is centered on delivering customized, value-creating financial solutions grounded in a deep understanding of clients’ needs and strategic objectives.

Commenting on the occasion, Ahmed Fouad Al-Fahad, Managing Director of Investment Banking at KFH, said: “Since its establishment more than 50 years ago, KFH has been committed to fostering innovation in Kuwait’s financial sector. This recognition reflects the trust our clients place in us, particularly in a market characterized by rapid changes that require strategic advice, innovative solutions, and strong execution capabilities—pillars that KFH’s team embodies in everything it delivers.”
