Bahrain-based GFH Financial Group (GFH) said it was named ‘Best Investment Bank- Middle East’ and ‘Best Islamic Bank – Bahrain’ at the Islamic Business & Finance Awards - EMEA 2018, held recently in Dubai, UAE.

In its 13th year, the annual awards gathered together more than 200 Islamic bankers and financiers from across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) to celebrate the industry’s best and brightest and their accomplishments over the past year.
