The corporate franchise at Commercial International Bank (CIB) is widely acknowledged as second to none among the country?s privately owned banks.

Although smaller, in terms of assets, than the country?s state-owned banks, CIB is vastly more profitable and more efficiently managed.

Despite Egypt?s continued economic difficulties CIB has continued to outperform its competition.

Some of Egypt?s foreign joint-venture banks, such as National Société Générale Bank, have managed to carve out successful and profitable niches in the country, particularly in retail banking, but none yet has the depth or breadth to challenge CIB for the title of best bank in Egypt.
