Middle East’s best investment bank for financing 2025: First Abu Dhabi Bank

First Abu Dhabi Bank reinforced its standing as the Gulf’s preeminent financier in 2024, advising a string of market-leading loan and structured finance mandates. 

Ranked the region’s top loan bookrunner by deal count, the bank closed more than 200 bilateral, club and syndicated facilities, evidence of the depth of its relationship lending model. A notable illustration came in March, when FAB coordinated a multi-tranche term-loan package for Africa Finance Corporation that blended conventional and Islamic tranches and drew lenders from three continents.
