Jordan Islamic Bank started in the early 1980s as a small bank with $3m in capital. Its growth since then has been impressive: it holds 8.3 percent of assets in Jordan’s banking sector, and has a return on shareholder equity of 16.74 percent, the highest in the country.

CEO Musa Shihadeh outlines how this growth has gone hand-in-hand with a commitment to servicing the community, including financing energy opportunities for a country formerly reliant on Egypt for its petrol.
