Largest banks in the Middle East and Africa in 2022

The Middle East and Africa 200 (MEA200) 2022 is an evaluation of the 200 largest commercial banks and financial holding companies (banks) in the Middle East and Africa for the financial year (FY) 2021, with a March 2022 cutoff. This year’s evaluation covers banks from 16 countries, namely Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the Middle East and Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa in Africa.

Qatar National Bank grew its total assets by 6.6% to $300.2 billion in 2021, which marks the first time that a bank in the Middle East and Africa has held more than $300 billion in total assets. Saudi National Bank, formed by the merger of Saudi Arabia’s National Commercial Bank and Samba Financial Group in April 2021, is the third largest bank in the region. Meanwhile, National Bank of Egypt surpassed Standard Bank Group as the largest bank in Africa. The aggregate total assets of the top ten rose to $1.9 trillion, an increase of 17.5% compared to $1,6 trillion in the previous year’s ranking. The increase can be largely attributed to the merger of those two Saudi Arabian banks, along with National Bank of Egypt and Banque Misr changing their financial year end.

Largest banks in the Middle East and Africa in 2021

The Middle East and Africa 200 (MEA200) 2021 is an evaluation of the 200 largest commercial banks and financial holding companies (banks) in the Middle East and Africa for the financial year (FY) 2020, with a March 2021 cutoff. This year’s evaluation covers banks from 16 countries, namely Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the Middle East and Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa in Africa. The 200 banks listed had a combined total assets of $4.1 trillion, net loans of $2.2 trillion, customer deposits of $2.8 trillion and net profit of $36.4 billion.

Egypt had the most banks on the list, followed by the UAE, Nigeria and Ghana, while the UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Qatar held a larger share of total assets compare to other countries. African banks improved their showing in the top 20 largest banks. The seven African banks among the top 20 registered a 14.5% average asset growth, against 10.4% for the 13 Middle Eastern banks. Bank consolidation across the region helps banks achieve their scale and improve their financial strength.

Largest banks in the Middle East and Africa in 2020

The Middle East and Africa 200 (MEA200) is an evaluation of the 200 largest commercial banks and financial holding companies (banks) in the Middle East and Africa. This year, financial information in the first half of the financial year 2020 (1H FY2020) was collated and incorporated into the assessment of how banks performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The evaluation covers banks from 16 countries, namely Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa.

Qatar National Bank retained its position as the largest bank by assets. Emirates NBD Bank surpassed Standard Bank Group to become the third largest bank, due to stronger asset growth. Saudi British Bank and Alawwal Bank merged their businesses in 2019 to become one of the top 20 largest banks. Kenya and Ghana have the largest number of banks on the list, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia hold the largest combined bank assets. The aggregate total assets of banks in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Qatar account for 64% of total assets. Ghana and Mauritius combined have less than 1% share of total bank assets.

Largest banks in the Middle East and Africa in 2018

The Middle East and Africa 200 (MEA200) 2018 is an evaluation of the 200 largest commercial banks and financial holding companies (banks) in the Middle East and Africa for the financial year (FY) 2017, with a March 2018 cutoff. The evaluation has been expanded to 200 banks from the previous 100, which brought four new countries under the microscope. With the addition of 100 more banks, the accumulated total assets of the banks in the evaluation increased to $3.48 trillion from $2.52 trillion in the previous year. The study covers 16 countries, namely Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the Middle East and Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa in Africa.

Qatar National Bank remained the largest bank in the Middle East and Africa, while First Abu Dhabi Bank replaced Standard Bank Group to become the second largest bank in the region after the successful completion of a merger between National Bank of Abu Dhabi and First Gulf Bank on 1 April 2017. Egypt and the UAE are the countries with the largest number of banks on the list, at 23 and 21, respectively. Besides the new countries, Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE and South Africa saw the largest gains in the number of banks in the ranking.
