Moves: Bank of Singapore makes six new appointments in Dubai
Bank of Singapore, part of Singapore's second-largest lender Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, said in a statement that Zeena Abou Elnaja joined its investment advisory team from Swiss bank Julius Baer.
The private bank added that Mehvish Ayub joined as a senior specialist covering managed solutions and alternatives in the region from State Street Global Advisors.
Bank of Singapore also welcomed Brandon Chee as a product specialist covering equity and structured products advisory, and Anish Mehta as a product specialist on the FX or foreign exchange advisory desk.
It also announced Yasmine Omari as the head of wealth planning for the bank's Dubai operations and Fatima Al Zadjali as director for marketing and communications.
"These hires are key for us strategically as we continue to build our Dubai hub's presence across the region," Ranjit Khanna, Bank of Singapore's head of private banking for Europe and the Middle East and chief executive for Dubai, said in the statement.
Reuters reported in August last year that Bank of Singapore aimed to grow its business in the Middle East with the region contributing up to 20% of its overall revenue and private banking assets over the next three to five years from around 10%.

Plane imports discussed as part of Swiss-US tariff impasse, airline says
Discussions on how to lower Switzerland's tariff burden with the United States have broached importing aeroplanes, Swiss International Air Lines said on Wednesday, as the country seeks to reduce its trade surplus with the U.S.. Swiss officials and business leaders are trying to craft a plan that will persuade the U.S. to reduce the tariffs of 39% imposed last week on Switzerland by the Trump administration, to the dismay of the Swiss government. U.S. President Donald Trump has cited the country's trade deficit in goods with Switzerland - more than $38 billion in 2024, according to U.S. figures - as grounds for the tariffs. Among the business executives who accompanied top Swiss government officials in Washington last week during a last ditch push to avert the tariffs was Jens Fehlinger, CEO of Swiss International Air Lines, a unit of Germany's Lufthansa. Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger reported that Fehlinger had pitched the idea to the Swiss officials of having Lufthansa process future purchases of Boeing aircraft through Switzerland in a bid to cut the U.S. trade deficit. Responding to a question on the report, Swiss International said the talks over trade included discussion about the "framework conditions for aircraft imports and possible options – for the Lufthansa Group, SWISS, the United States, and U.S. companies". "Any substantive statements on these considerations and the negotiations themselves remain the responsibility of the relevant government agencies," it added. A source familiar with Switzerland's trade discussions said the plane import idea had arisen but was not very concrete. In a statement, Lufthansa said it was interested in the success of its Swiss unit and the Swiss economy. "Fleet procurement at the Lufthansa Group is carried out in close coordination with the airlines," it added. The Swiss economy ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the story.
