DIFFERENT STRATEGIES, SIMILAR SUCCESS
Arab Banking Corporation and Gulf International Bank stand in close proximity. They are separated only by the Bahraini Hilton Hotel and a makeshift football pitch with a bare limestone surface. Looming like obelisks of glass and mortar, both banks have their backs to the nearby Arabian Gulf and each occupies a plot of recently reclaimed land. And the forecourt of each is lined with luxury cars.
There the similarities end. For these are but physical likenesses.
