Investment bank Credit Suisse has expanded its presence in Qatar with the roll out of its entire integrated banking solutions range.

Clients in Qatar will now have available not just private banking services, but also investment banking and asset management.

The bank is confident that the country will emerge as one of the most lucrative markets in the GCC, according to Bassam Yammine, co-CEO of Credit Suisse Middle East and head of Investment Banking and Asset Management for the MENA region.

Aladdin Hangari, who has been appointed by the bank as head of Credit Suisse in Qatar, has stated that the firm is to offer an integrated approach in its expansion.

Hangari went on to say that clients would be provided with expert assistance in private banking, investment banking and asset management.

Last month the bank expanded into Japan with the provision of private banking services in a major step in the firm’s strategic expansion programme.
