QNB Group, the leading financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, has been honored with the "Emerging Markets Bond Issuer of the Year – Middle East" award at the inaugural MTN GlobalCapital Awards 2026. This prestigious recognition, determined by a vote of global debt market participants, underscores the group's robust presence in international capital markets and the high level of trust it commands from global investors and industry peers.
The award highlights QNB’s strategic efforts to maintain diversified funding sources and its financial stability.

Such diverse operations reflect QNB’s sophisticated ability to access a broad spectrum of investors across multiple currencies and technological platforms.
