AlRayan Bank concludes Diamond sponsorship of Qatar CSR Summit 2025
During the summit, AlRayan Bank was honored with the 'Best CSR Initiative in the Banking and Financial Sector' award in recognition of its impactful and sustained contributions to community development, environmental stewardship, and social inclusion.
This achievement crowns a year of dynamic CSR engagement by the bank, including its far-reaching Ramadan 2025 initiatives, which supported a range of charitable organizations such as the Dreama Orphan Care Center, Qatar Cancer Society, Qatar Autism Society, Qatar Society for Rehabilitation of Special Needs, and Qatar Charity's Debtors Program (Al Gharimeen). These partnerships empowered some of the most vulnerable groups in society and reflected the bank's core values of equity, empathy, and shared prosperity.
AlRayan Bank's broader CSR strategy includes initiatives in financial education, sustainability, and cultural enrichment. The bank has delivered Islamic finance lectures and cybersecurity workshops at Qatar's leading universities, launched inclusive programs such as a sign language workshop, and activated its NEXT Innovation Lab during Qatar Sustainability Week to explore digital solutions for ESG impact alongside global partners like Microsoft and Mastercard.
Commenting on the bank's participation and award, Ms. Eman AlNaemi, AGM, Corporate Communications at AlRayan Bank, stated: "Our Diamond Sponsorship of the Qatar CSR Summit 2025 reflects our long-standing commitment to supporting platforms that advance national dialogue on sustainability and responsible leadership. Receiving the award for Best CSR Initiative in the Banking Sector is a powerful recognition of the impact we strive to make every day. At AlRayan Bank, we remain dedicated to delivering initiatives that create real value for society, support the national vision, and reaffirm our role as a responsible financial institution deeply rooted in Islamic values."
AlRayan Bank's participation in the CSR Summit complements a year marked by strategic sponsorships that reinforced its community-first vision, from supporting national heritage events like Seniar Fishing Festival and the Sirah Exhibition, to backing educational and youth development programs at local universities.
With this award, AlRayan Bank strengthens its position as a leader in sustainable banking and a trusted partner in shaping Qatar's social and economic future.

UAE Central Bank suspends licence of insurance company Yas Takaful
The UAE Central Bank has suspended the licence of insurance company Yas Takaful for non-compliance with the country's regulatory framework, it said on Monday. "Yas Takaful remains liable for all rights and obligations arising from insurance contracts concluded before the suspension," the Central Bank said in a statement. The regulator, through its supervisory and regulatory mandates, "works to ensure that all insurers, their owners and staff abide by the UAE laws, and regulations and standards ... to safeguard the integrity of the insurance sector and the UAE financial system", it added. Yas Takaful, formerly known as Al Hilal Takaful, was established in 2008 and acquired in 2020, and offers Sharia-compliant takaful solutions, according to its website. Takaful is a form of Islamic insurance where participants pool their contributions to provide mutual protection against loss or damage, offering coverage for health, life, and general insurance requirements. The National has reached out to the company for comment. The latest action comes as the UAE regulator has been cracking down heavily on regulatory non-compliance. Last month, it revoked the licence of Al Khazna after the insurance company failed to meet the licensing requirements needed to conduct business during the period of suspension of its licence. It also imposed a fine of Dh4.1 million ($1.1 million) on three exchange houses in July for failing to comply with the law on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT), as it continues its fight against illegal financial activity. In June, the Central Bank imposed a Dh100 million fine on an exchange house for 'significant failures' in its AML/CFT framework. Overall, the UAE imposed fines of more than Dh42 million on private sector entities during the first half of 2025 for not complying with money laundering regulations, state news agency Wam quoted the Ministry of Economy of Tourism as saying last month. A total of 1,063 breaches were discovered in the six months through the end of June across four categories, it said. Last year, the government also amended its laws on anti-money laundering, and the financing of terrorism and illegal organisations to ensure better regulatory oversight. In a major vote of confidence, the EU last month also voted to remove the UAE from its list of countries that pose a high risk for money laundering and terrorist financing.

flydubai strengthens strategic growth with 12 new aircraft deliveries in 2025
Post Views: 47 flydubai has taken delivery of seven new aircraft so far in 2025, with a further five Boeing 737 MAX 8s scheduled to join its fleet before the end of the year. These additions form an integral part of the airline's strategic growth plans, enabling the continued expansion of its network, enhancing operational efficiency and increasing capacity on existing routes. The seven new aircraft, received between April and August 2025, have seen the flydubai fleet grow to 93 aircraft. Once all 12 aircraft have been delivered this year, flydubai's fleet will stand at more than 95 aircraft, supporting the carrier's growing network of more than 135 destinations in 57 countries. This expansion continues to open up underserved markets, creating more travel opportunities and further strengthening Dubai's position as a leading global aviation hub. Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at flydubai, said: 'The arrival of these new aircraft is a testament to our long-term strategic vision and our confidence in the future of air travel. Our fleet investment supports our mission to offer greater choice, enhanced convenience and improved connectivity for our passengers. These deliveries are part of a backlog extensively delayed in recent years, and despite receiving 12 aircraft this year, we remain 20 aircraft behind our original projections.' 'The continued interest from our financing partners highlights the strength of our business model and our commitment to contributing to the UAE's leadership in global aviation. Looking ahead, these aircraft will enable us to unlock new destinations, optimise our operations and play an even greater role in supporting Dubai's growth as an international aviation hub,' added Al Ghaith. The favourable response to the airline's financing Request for Proposals (RFPs) and its ability to secure competitive financing for these deliveries reflect the strong confidence that global financial institutions and lessors have in flydubai's robust business model and its future growth prospects. The positive appetite from the market underscores the airline's resilience and its role as a key driver in the UAE's aviation sector. Financing for the first seven aircraft received this year has been secured under Islamic financing from Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), conventional debt financing from The National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah (RAKBANK), as well as sale and leaseback transactions with JP Lease Products & Services Co., Ltd (JLPS) and JLPS Ireland Limited.
