Byline: babalu03

Bahrain-based Shamil Bank yesterday said that its exposure to the Saad and Algosaibi groups was minimal.

"Shamil Bank has a minor exposure, representing an almost negligible percentage of our assets, to Saudi-based Saad and Algosaibi groups." said Shamil Bank chief executive Faisal Alalwan. "Although prudent provisions have been made, this exposure has had absolutely no effect on our day-to-day operations."

"The report carried by a local paper yesterday was, regrettably, misleading," said Alalwan.
