"It gives us immense pleasure to be receiving our second award in recognition of our achievements over the past two years, as they demonstrate the commitment and real value we offer to our clients. Our professionals have demonstrated the dedication and quality of service that we set as standards for everything we do." said Ahmed Adil, Partner Business Risk Services, Ernst & Young Bahrain.
In February of this year, Ernst & Young's Islamic Financial Services Group (IFSG) was also presented with Euromoney's Best Islamic Assurance & Advisory Award for having completed the most extensive range of assignments for both the public and private sectors in 2004.
In the International banking industry, the Islamic finance sector has evolved to become one of the fastest growing niche markets. Globally, financial institutions have recognised Islamic banking as a potentially lucrative addition to the mainstream customer segment, which is more receptive to Islamic finance. No longer limited to Islamic countries or the Muslim population, strong consumer and commercial demands are now driving Islamic finance forward.
"We ascribe our success to our long-term commitment to serving the Islamic financial services industry by offering a wide range of specialized Islamic finance advisory services to our clients by developing strong relationships and by delivering high quality work. Receiving the Best Islamic Finance Advisory Firm award has reconfirmed our reputation as a market leader in the global Islamic finance advisory arena."
said Dr. Omar Marwan Kamal, IFSG Head - Ernst & Young, Middle East.
