00:00 "In 2024, we expect it to be a good year for trade and banks in general, because the

00:07 interest rates are high, but not at a sharp increase in Kuwait, not at the same level

00:14 as other countries like the US and others.

00:18 The customers are more tolerant than other countries, because the interest rates are

00:30 double, while in countries from 0.50% to 5% it is 10 times higher.

00:36 It is painful for the customers."

00:39 "Hitek is a commercial bank that only operates in Kuwait.

00:43 The Kuwaiti market is small, and it has big challenges, and a strong competition,

00:48 with 10 banks.

00:49 How can you grow in this environment?"

00:53 "Our focus on Kuwait's trade has brought us profit, and the results are as you

01:03 said, I hope the participants are satisfied.

01:06 We have the third highest profit among banks, but we are less than 8 to 9 banks in size.

01:16 This means that our high quality assets and our customers are special.

01:36 We are not like other countries, where the economy is unstable, and the currency is low.

01:48 We are hopeful that there will be big projects, like the Mubarak port, or the Abdelee port,

02:08 or the cooperation council, or the electricity, or the gas import, or the corn, there are

02:22 big projects in Kuwait, and this competition creates the dynamics, and we are hopeful

02:40 that we will be able to exceed our performance in 2023."

02:44 "Maintaining zero NTL is expensive, you are paying unregulated debts."

02:51 "Yes, we are adopting this policy to show transparency to the participants,

03:07 and the correspondent banks, so the idea is simple, transparency and clarity,

03:19 reading the bank data, we don't have anything hidden, so always zero, and this makes us

03:28 more eager to take care of our customers, who are special and capable of increasing our performance."
