The GCC Banking sector has been witnessing several high-profile mergers in the past five years, including the mergers of First Abu Dhabi Bank and Saudi National Bank, which are national champions of UAE and KSA respectively. In Kuwait, a high-profile merger that has continually made the headlines has been the potential merger between Kuwait Finance House (KFH), headquartered in Kuwait and Ahli United Bank (AUB), headquartered in Bahrain. The merger, if successful, will be a significant GCC banking merger in scale and size. The economy and the banking sector as a whole would undoubtedly benefit from the change in dynamics. However, it remains to be seen whether the shareholders of both banks will benefit from the merger.
