At the end of 2017, the assets of the 11 Lebanese banks combined reached $216.8 billion, which is 7.7% of the top 100 Arab banks\u2019 combined assets, reflecting an increase of 6.1% year-on-year. UAE banks topped the chart, accounting for (24.44%) of total assets, followed by Saudi banks (21.11%) and Qatari banks (14.89%).\nLebanon keeps a solid position in the annual ranking\nAt the end of 2017, the untaxed profits of the 11 Lebanese banks reached $2.8 billion, which represents 6% of the total profits of Arab banks, displaying a decrease of 2.9% compared to the previous year. Once again, the profits of Saudi banks accounted for the largest share of the total profits of the top 100 banks (26%), followed by Emirati (24.31%) and Qatari banks (13.88%).\nLebanese lenders maintained their strong showing from the previous ranking, with four of the country\u2019s banks making the cut this year. \nThese include IBL Bank in the 6th place, Bank of Beirut in the 15th, Bank Audi in the 17th and BLOM Bank in the 20th. The fact that Lebanon\u2019s banks are able to keep up a solid presence in this annual ranking is a testament to the sophistication of the country\u2019s financial sector which has been enduring sluggish domestic growth, persistent regional conflicts, and a long-lasting refugee crisis.\n\u00a0\n","author":42,"featured_media":5544,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5752,5764,5761,5763,5751,5756,5755,5753,5750,5759,5762],"location":[5628],"class_list":["post-28367","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-business-support","tag-communities","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economy","tag-employment","tag-employment-training","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-lebanon"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"According to the annual report published by the specialized magazine \u201cThe Banker\u201d, eleven Lebanese banks are among the top 100 banks in the Arab world.
