CFG Bank has strengthened its executive leadership with the appointment of Issam Mghabbar as Deputy Chief Executive Officer, a position he has held since June 2026. He will oversee the bank’s Treasury and Markets activities, placing him at the centre of a business line that has expanded significantly in recent years.
The appointment reflects the continuity of Mghabbar’s career within CFG Bank and the bank’s efforts to further develop its market-related operations. His previous responsibilities included helping structure and accelerate the division, notably through the launch of new trading and market-making activities.
His expanded role comes as CFG Bank continues to build its capabilities across execution and risk management. The bank has also progressively broadened the range of services available to institutional clients, corporates and investors.
A key part of this development has been the work of CFG Bank’s trading floor and its coordination with the institution’s other business lines. This organisation has enabled the bank to strengthen its position in activities where liquidity management, risk control, client proximity and innovation are increasingly important.
Mghabbar’s appointment therefore comes as CFG Bank continues to deepen its presence in financial markets. By placing Treasury and Markets under his responsibility at executive level, the bank is reinforcing the strategic importance of these activities within its broader development.
The move also underlines the importance of combining market expertise with stronger execution and risk-management capabilities as CFG Bank expands its offering to professional investors and corporate clients.
