AlRayan Bank Q.P.S.C. announced on Mar. 15 that its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders endorsed all agenda items, including the approval of financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025, which showed a net profit after tax of QAR 1,350 million.
The meeting is significant as it marks the bank’s continued focus on strategic growth and governance, with shareholders approving key reports and electing a new Board of Directors for the upcoming term.
His Excellency Sheikh Mohamed Bin Hamad Bin Qassim Al-Thani, Chairman of the Board, presented the Board’s report on activities and financial position for 2025. “During 2025, we focused on strengthening the effective implementation of the new strategy, which aims to consolidate the Bank’s position as one of the leading Islamic financial institutions. This ensures that the intended objectives are achieved and that the Bank’s added value and operational goals remain responsive to market dynamics and evolving customer expectations. One of the most notable milestones in 2025 was the successful launch of the corporate digital banking channel, representing a strategic addition to the Bank’s digital ecosystem. This initiative reinforces the concept of banking partnership with the business sector and provides clients with a more flexible, faster, and reliable experience in a business environment characterized by competitiveness and rapid change. This direction reflects a deep awareness of the importance of financial technology in enhancing operational efficiency and expanding access to banking services, particularly in a business landscape steadily moving toward the digital economy,” he said.
Sheikh Mohamed also highlighted sustainability efforts: “In 2025, Al Rayan Bank successfully issued its debut three-year Green Sukuk, raising QAR 500 million. This landmark transaction underscores our commitment to sustainability and represents a pivotal step in our ESG journey. Through Shariah-compliant innovation, the Bank is reinforcing its role as a responsible, forward-looking institution that creates long-term value.”
Shareholders approved an 11% cash dividend (QAR 0.11 per share) for fiscal year 2025 and endorsed reports from both Sharia Supervisory Board and external auditors regarding compliance with corporate governance regulations. Price Waterhouse Coopers was reappointed as external auditor for another year.
The AGM also appointed members to both its Sharia Supervisory Board for 2026-2028 and elected twelve directors—including independent members—for its next board term through 2028.
Concluding his remarks at the meeting attended electronically by shareholders and stakeholders alike, Sheikh Mohamed said: “I extend my deepest gratitude to His Highness the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, for his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to the prosperity of our nation. I also thank our regulators, customers, partners, people and shareholders, for their continued trust and support.”
