A Letter from the Chairman

A Letter from the Chairman

2007 was another record year for CIB.  The Bank grew its earnings per share for the 30th year of its 32 
year	history,	and	has	now	experienced	a	compounded	annual	EPS	growth	rate	of	25%	over	the	last	five	
years.  2007 brought continued impressive growth in both Corporate Banking market share and overall 
profit	margins.		The	year	also	marked	a	period	of	significant	investment	in	our	Retail	Banking	business,	
which is well-positioned to take advantage of Egypt’s burgeoning retail market.  Additionally, the Bank 
maintained its position as one of the safest banks in the emerging markets, with continued high levels of 
Capital Adequacy and provision coverage.

As	we	move	through	the	first	part	of	2008,	I	would	like	to	take	a	moment	to	highlight	a	few	important	
points that best summarize the current characteristics of the Bank:

•

•

•

Largest market capitalization in the Egyptian banking sector

Most	profitable	commercial	bank	in	Egypt

Superior management, high operating standards and premier training programs

Successful investment in infrastructure over the past few years that will allow the Bank to ex-

•
pand its regional presence

The strongest brand equity in Corporate Banking in Egypt and the third strongest in Consumer 

•
Banking

•

Internationally recognized as the Best Bank in Egypt

  – The Banker, Global Finance, Euromoney and Emerging Markets

•

•

Adoption of international best practices regarding Corporate Governance and Disclosure

Tremendous growth opportunities in Retail and SME banking

Furthermore, not only is CIB well-situated to continue to take advantage of favorable local market condi-
tions, it is also well-equipped to weather any potential economic downturn.  This second point is particu-
larly important in light of concerns about a possible global recession.

The	past	year	has	undoubtedly	been	unkind	to	financial	services	companies	in	developed	markets.		
Emerging market banks and their regulators should not dismiss this crisis as unrelated to 
their own situations.  There are many lessons to be learned.  This crisis also provides an excellent 
opportunity for us to explain to CIB shareholders why we believe we will continue to be successful in the 
coming years.

So, what happened?
By	November	2007,	US	and	EU	financial	sector	companies	had	already	underperformed	the	FTSE	by	
18% and 12%, respectively, year-to-date.  AA-rated US mortgage-backed securities, which have tra-
ditionally been considered “safe” investments, had lost more than 50% of their value (as per the ABX 
index) during the prior 5-month period.  Meanwhile, the cost of insuring against credit defaults had in-
creased from less than 0.5% to 6%.  The sum effect of all of this was that EU and US banks were facing 
trading losses of between 8% and 12% of their total Tier-1 Capital, or approximately US$ 2 trillion.
In the EU, thousands of miles away from the root of the problem in the US, several banks struggled to 
avoid bankruptcy, and the UK banking sector suffered the humiliation of the first run on deposits 
since the 1800s.  In the midst of this predicament, it became clear that the markets had failed, a 
stark reminder that liquidity often dries up at the most inopportune moments.

This put public companies, regulators, and auditors in a morally-challenging position, as they at-
tempted to quantify and disclose the extent of trading losses.  One key issue was that no one 
could accurately estimate the trading losses associated with mortgage-backed securities in the absence 
of liquid trading on those securities.  The models which banks used to predict theoretical values in their 
trading book (what are known as “mark to model” as opposed to “mark to market”) also proved unreli-
able.

What lessons can emerging market banks extract from this crisis?  It is obvious that banks’ business 
models and economic transactions have become exceedingly complicated.  This has hindered the ac-
counting	industry	from	performing	its	duties	with	a	high	level	of	efficiency	and	reliability.		Regulators	
in emerging markets should, therefore, seek to enforce methods that prevent, or at least discourage, 
practices leading to changes in banks’ revenue generating activities, to the extent these practices are too 
complicated for regulators to analyze.  On the other hand, banks should also revisit their risk manage-
ment processes and revise their business models in light of the lessons learnt from this crisis.  No bank 

A Letter from the Chairman

should	invest	in	any	financial	instrument	that	the	bank’s	officers	and	risk	managers	cannot	understand.		
Banks in emerging markets lack the proper resources and technical skills, and therefore should not in-
dulge in taking positions in overly sophisticated instruments, even if such instruments appear to promise 
excellent returns.  

Another valuable lesson can be drawn from the way banks across the Atlantic differed in their approach 
to disclosing the methodology behind their valuation of crisis-related assets. There is no doubt that the 
more	transparent	approach	more	recently	adopted	by	US	banks	will	benefit	them	greatly	in	the	longer	
term.

At	CIB,	we	have	always	advocated	that	a	high	degree	of	disclosure	and	transparency	is	beneficial	for	
shareholder	value.		It	is	also	good	for	the	economy	as	a	whole,	leading	to	greater	efficiency	in	the	man-
agement of assets industry-wide.

CIB is indeed an investor’s “safe haven” among emerging market banks, in good as well as troubled 
times.  Our prudent risk management policies and adherence above and beyond the Central Bank of 
Egypt’s strict regulations have enabled us to maintain a high quality loan portfolio and an adequate 
coverage ratio.  In fact, we strongly believe in the regulator’s stringent provisioning policies, as operating 
in emerging markets necessitates such prudent rules.  CIB has continuously demonstrated that conser-
vative provisioning policies, even in periods of economic boom, are accretive to long term shareholder 
value. 

7

On	the	local	scene,	the	banking	industry	has	benefited	from	one	of	the	best	years	on	record	in	terms	
of economic performance.  Rather than being driven by consumption expenditure, as was the case in 
preceding years, economic growth in the last couple of years has been fuelled by the industrial sector 
as well as by domestic and foreign new investment.  Previous cycles were driven by services, trade and 
agriculture as opposed to the industrial sector, and by consumption as opposed to investment.  Further-
more, this all came during a year in which Egypt was ranked “the most reforming country in the world” 
by the World Bank.

The	competitive	dynamics	in	the	banking	industry	in	2007	confirmed	our	view	of	the	positive	effect	of	
consolidation	and	foreign	ownership	of	Egyptian	banks	on	the	profitability	of	all	banks.		CIB	experienced	
expanding margins across all client segments in 2007, with the exception of large syndications in corpo-
rate banking, where competition remains intense.

By	end	of	2007,	both	investor	and	consumer	confidence	in	Egypt	were	very	strong,	and	the	country’s	
economic resilience has continued into 2008.  Our clients are talking of strong capital expenditure in 
2008	and	showing	significant	appetite	for	both	debt	and	equity	capital.

There are more reasons to be optimistic about the local market, even if a developed markets reces-
sion materializes.  Egypt’s recent growth is relatively less dependent on exports to developed countries 
versus other emerging economies.  Additionally, the country’s corporate balance sheets have never been 
more liquid and solvent, with the private sector enjoying more than EGP 150 billion of deposits with the 
banking sector, compared to less than EGP 270 billion of bank debt and negligible public debt.  This illus-
trates that corporate Egypt has learned from the excess leverage that marked the last cycle during the 
late nineties.  Therefore, we believe that even if Egypt experienced a slowdown due to global conditions, 
it would likely be short and mild.

Going forward, we intend to solidify our ongoing strategy of capacity building.  This strategy is composed 
of the following key elements:

•

Focus on customer-centric relationship management to improve service quality

Build and maintain the widest and most customer-friendly physical and electronic delivery chan-

•
nels and network of all of the private and multinational banks

•

Continue to upgrade execution, service quality and customer satisfaction inside the branch

Build the widest product portfolio among the Egyptian banks to attract clients who enjoy one-

•
stop-shop services which save both time and money

The Bank aims to continue its focus on what clients tell us we do best, which is servicing the local needs 
of clients better than our competitors.  We also intend to attract for our retail banking business talented 
leaders who have already experienced success globally and seek to participate in our vision of becoming 
Egypt’s foremost regional bank. 

A Letter from the Chairman

In addition, the Bank will continue its pursuit of viable entry strategies into regional markets where we 
believe our core competences can be replicated to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.  This 
will require a tailored entry strategy for each country.  For example, in Algeria, we have developed an 
entry	strategy	focused	on	corporate	banking	for	the	private	sector	and	specific	state-owned	enterprises,	
as well as retail banking services that consist primarily of liability products.  We continue to liaise with 
the Algerian Central Bank to acquire a license there.

In the GCC, we continue to pursue a low cost entry strategy, and intend to adopt a distribution model 
based on the targeting of non-resident Egyptians.  Carefully designed products are being developed to 
satisfy	the	unique	requirements	of	these	individuals.		Within	corporate	banking,	we	aim	to	target	specific	
wholesale/syndicated transactions that make sense for us.

Before I end this year’s letter, I also want to honor the lifetime achievements of Mr. Aly Dabbous, who 
passed away in 2007.  Mr. Dabbous was an individual to whom CIB, and indeed, the entire Egyptian 
banking sector, will always be indebted for his visionary leadership and true friendship.

The business review section of this report will shed light on the Bank’s key revenue generating busi-
nesses.  I am especially pleased with the progress we have made since the reorganization of our Board 
in early 2006.  I draw special notice to the sections regarding information technology, risk management 
and human resources.

Board of Directors’ Report

2007 Overview

Introduction 

The Board of Directors is pleased to review the results for the year ending 31/12/2007 at the Annual 
General Assembly Meeting. 

On a consolidated basis, CIB and CI-CH achieved EGP 2,480 million of Net Operating Income and EGP 
1,289	million	of	Net	Profit,	representing	35.6%	and	51.1%	growth,	respectively.	These	earnings	results	
include a one time capital gain of EGP 148 million related to the sale of a stake in CI Capital.  Excluding 
this	one	time	item,	Net	Profit	growth	would	have	been	33.7%	year-over-year.

Despite strong competition within the banking sector during 2007, CIB not only grew its market share, 
but	also	enhanced	its	profit	margins.		This	was	the	result	of	prudent	executive	management	and	efficient	
operations.

10

To	further	enhance	our	competitiveness	and	efficiency,	as	well	as	improve	our	delivery	of	services	to	our	
corporate banking clients, in 2007 we commenced our migration to T-24, the top ranked universal bank-
ing	system.		In	addition,	we	made	significant	advances	in	our	retail	banking	business,	including	impor-
tant investments in IT and risk management infrastructure, proper segmentation of our client base, and 
the development of a more customer-centric model.

During 2007, CIB sustained its position as the market leader and best bank in Egypt. The Bank was 
recognized by Banker magazine as “Bank of the Year 2007” as well as for the execution of the “Deal of 
the Year 2007.”  The Bank was also selected as Global Finance Magazine’s “Best Bank in Egypt” for the 
tenth consecutive year, “Best Foreign Exchange Bank in Egypt” for the seventh straight year, “Best Trade 
Finance Bank in Egypt” for the third consecutive year, and “Best Provider of Money Market Funds in Af-
rica.”  In addition, the Bank received the “Straight Through Processing Excellence” Award from Deutsche 
Bank, and was dubbed the “Strongest Brand in Corporate Banking as well as [the] Third Strongest Brand 
in Consumer Banking in Egypt,” as per AC Nielson.

Major credit rating agencies continued to rate CIB at the country’s sovereign ceiling, BB+/Stable/B, while 
emphasizing that the Bank’s rating is capped by Egypt’s sovereign rating.

In	order	to	avoid	any	possible	conflict	of	interest	with	the	Bank’s	strategy	to	launch	its	own	branded	
auto-finance	business,	CIB	decided	in	2007	to	sell	its	stake	in	Contact,	the	Bank’s	auto	loan	affiliate.	This	
divesture, amounting to a 38.4% ownership position, came as part of the Bank’s policy of continuous 
development	and	expansion	in	our	retail	banking	and	consumer	finance	businesses.

In 2007, we remained focused on our main growth strategies.  Our two-fold strategy is based on both 
organic growth and expansion via mergers and acquisitions.  Although most of the organic growth is 
still driven by our corporate and institutional clients, we have also effectively achieved organic growth 
through the build-up of our retail banking business via branch expansion and re-engineering. We con-
tinue to examine opportunities for mergers and acquisitions growth and will aggressively pursue those 
opportunities that create shareholder value. 

The Board believes that the Bank is in an excellent position to meet the challenges of the future, and 
that	it	enjoys	significant	competitive	advantages	in	its	strategy	to	capture	opportunities	in	the	under-
penetrated Egyptian market.

Macro Overview

During 2007, the Egyptian economy witnessed one of its most impressive performances over the past 
forty years. Egypt achieved a real GDP growth rate of 7.1%, which is the highest rate since the year of 
1985.  This strong growth was generated by reforms and solid macro-economic conditions, and illustrat-
ed	by	Egypt’s	increase	in	rank	to	85th	from	127th	in	the	economic	freedom	index.		More	significant	was	
the honour bestowed by the World Bank, which ranked Egypt the top reformer in the world during 2007 
in its annual Doing Business report. 

The nation’s economic growth has been driven by productivity increases.  Egypt’s GDP growth has tradi-
tionally	been	driven	by	the	mining,	oil,	agriculture	and	services	sectors;	for	the	first	time	in	many	years,	
though, the Egyptian manufacturing sector became a major growth contributor.
As a result of economic reforms, total investment grew by almost 34%, reaching EGP 155 billion for the 

Board of Directors’ Report

year 2006/2007, compared to EGP 116 billion in 2005/2006. Even more encouraging was the fact that 
the private sector was the largest contributor of these investments, a result of the government’s reform 
efforts and its privatization program.  Consequently, this led to the attraction of all-time high FDI net 
inflows,	reaching	US$	11	billion,	an	80%	increase	compared	to	2006.		Despite	this,	we	remain	somewhat	
concerned	regarding	the	country’s	high	budget	deficit,	its	high	levels	of	sovereign	debt,	and	its	above	
average	level	of	inflation,	as	well	as	with	the	sustainability	of	growth	in	investments.

The	economy	has	started	to	reap	the	benefits	of	the	banking	reform	program,	evidenced	by	the	increase	
in total bank borrowings of EGP 382 billion in 2007 compared to EGP 344 billion in 2006, a growth rate 
of 11%.  Private corporate borrowings were EGP 246 billion in 2007 versus EGP 225 billion in 2006, rep-
resenting a growth rate of 9%.

Private corporate FCY borrowing in particular served as an important catalyst for growth, with an in-
crease of 22% to a record US$ 14.8 billion.  More impressively, this major increase was anchored by 
lending to both the private industrial (13%) and services sectors (10%).

As a natural result of CIB’s focus on private industrial and service businesses, the Bank’s average 
monthly market share of total bank borrowings climbed to 5.7% in 2007, versus 4.9% in 2006.  On the 
FCY lending market side, CIB’s average monthly market share increased slightly to 9.2% in 2007, up 
from 8.1% in 2006.

11

On the deposits front, the Egyptian banking sector remains very liquid, as evidenced by a 54% utilization 
ratio.		Banks	hold	significant	funding	bases	that	can	be	injected	into	the	economy	to	achieve	even	higher	
growth rates.  In fact, total deposits surged by 19.5% to reach EGP 709 billion in 2007, compared to 
EGP 594 billion in 2006.

Financial Position

At CIB, we analyze our performance against a broad spectrum of measures, including growth, asset 
quality, risk management, marketing, collaboration, operations, controls and compliance. We continue to 
make	significant	progress	on	all	these	fronts.		Although	we	have	not	yet	reached	many	of	our	absolute	
performance goals, the rapid pace of our improvement has made us very positive about the future.

On a consolidated basis, CIB and CI-CH achieved EGP 2,480 million of Net Operating Income and EGP 
1,289	million	of	Net	Profit	in	2007.		The	Bank	itself	contributed	EGP	2,347	million	of	Net	Operating	
Income	and	EGP	1,232	million	of	Net	Profit,	representing	33.5%	and	53.7%	year-over-year	growth,	
respectively, while CI-CH contributed EGP 133 million of Net Operating Income and EGP 57 million of 
Net	Profit.		On	a	consolidated	basis,	CIB	and	CI-CH	achieved	a	Return	on	Average	Assets	of	3.0%	and	a	
Return on Average Equity of 33.1%.

On	a	standalone	basis,	Total	Shareholder’s	Equity	and	Net	Profit	increased	significantly	by	29.2%	to	EGP	
4.3 billion (before appropriation) in 2007, representing 9% of total assets. Furthermore, CIB’s equity 
base remained extremely solid, evidenced by a conservative Capital Adequacy Ratio of 11.7% at the end 
of	2007,	prior	to	the	appropriation	of	profits.		If	we	account	for	the	proposed	appropriation	of	profits,	the	
Capital Adequacy Ratio was 14.7%.  

CIB also continued its persistent efforts to maintain a high quality loan portfolio. Local and international 
credit risk concerns highlight the urgency of employing prudent risk management policies, capacity 
building, transparency and full compliance with regulatory capital requirements.  The high level of quality 
of	CIB’s	loan	portfolio	reflects	the	seriousness	with	which	we	take	these	principles,	and	represents	one	of	
the major sources of value we offer to our shareholders.  CIB’s Non Performing Loans to Total Exposure 
Ratio was only 3.0% as of FYE 2007, down from 3.8% as of FYE 2006.  Our overall Loan Loss Provisions 
Coverage Ratio was 195.7%. 

Management’s	focus	on	efficiency	was	reflected	in	the	decrease	of	the	Cost	to	Income	Ratio	from	38.4%	
in 2006 to 30.4% in 2007.  Despite increased competition in the market, CIB managed to improve its 
Net Interest Margin from 3.14% in 2006 to 3.27% in 2007.

CIB’s Return on Average Equity (ROAE) and Return on Average Assets (ROAA) have continued to im-
prove, reaching 32.3% and 2.9% in 2007, compared to 26.5% and 2.4%, respectively, in 2006.  These 
results, produced with the support of a still-favorable credit environment, are promising but may be 
difficult	to	maintain.		Increasing	inflation	pressures	and	the	government’s	budget	deficit	are	still	major	
concerns.

Board of Directors’ Report

During	2007,	the	Bank	hired	two	key	officers	from	top	financial	institutions	in	Compliance	and	Retail	Risk	
Management	to	further	enhance	our	management	strength.		Both	individuals	bring	significant	experience	
in	their	fields	to	CIB	and	will	work	to	build	our	capabilities	in	their	respective	areas.

The Board of Directors is optimistic about the Bank’s outlook. This optimism is substantiated by CIB’s 
strong	financial,	operational	and	market	position,	and	we	are	confident	that	the	Bank	will	continue	to	
maintain its leading position.

Establishing the Retail Banking

CIB’s Corporate Banking division has historically been the prime contributor of the Bank’s earnings and 
market share.  However, we aggressively expanded our Retail Banking business in 2007.  The Bank’s 
management team understood the need for building its retail capabilities as a crucial prerequisite to pro-
tecting our asset quality and ensuring sustainable growth.  In 2007, we focused on market research, the 
creation of the retail business plan, branch re-engineering, human capital recruitment, the construction 
of appropriate IT infrastructure, and the drafting of operational procedures and manuals. In collaboration 
with an international retail banking consultant, all business and support areas’ managers re-examined 
and re-tooled their mission and vision, operational and service models, and target customer base.

During	2007,	the	retail	business	experienced	significant	developments	in	its	delivery	and	distribution	
channels.  Since we believe that attracting new clients is the catalyst for our growth and expansion, we 
decided to open 45 new outlets, initiated a sales team recruitment process, and enhanced our product 
offering.

Despite a number of recent branch expansions in the banking sector, we believe that Egypt’s population 
is still under-banked.  This is evidenced by the consistency of banking density over the past eight years 
of approximately 21,000 per branch. Total bank branches nationwide reached 3,116 branches in Septem-
ber 2007 (including 1,036 village banks), while the economically active population increased to approxi-
mately 29 million individuals. 

Achieved Quality Growth & Driving Future Growth

CIB’s strategy and vision is to accomplish real, sustainable growth, but not growth at any cost.  In the 
financial	services	world,	it	is	easy	to	stretch	for	growth	by	reducing	underwriting	standards	or	taking	on	
increasingly higher levels of risk.  However this runs counter to our principles.

The Bank continues to grow its earnings, but not at the expense of smart, longer-term investments.  We 
continue to invest in the areas that will drive our future growth. Last year CIB opened 19 new outlets, 
added more than 700 staff, logged 75,000 hours of employee training, and spent over EGP 50 million 
on	IT	platform	modernization.		We	have	a	significant	investment	plan	with	respect	to	our	systems	and	
operating infrastructure, while simultaneously focusing on the reduction of operating expenses.  Al-
though there is obviously a short-term cost associated with these investments, we believe the long-term 
benefits	will	be	a	significant	increase	in	efficiency	and	improved	quality	of	our	services.

Alternative Growth Strategies

In	July	2007,	CIB	officially	applied	for	a	banking	license	from	the	Central	Bank	of	Algeria.	The	Algerian	
subsidiary	is	expected	to	benefit	from	the	booming	Algerian	economy,	especially	with	many	of	our	corpo-
rate customers expanding their operations to Algeria.

In 2007, we also continued to act upon the mandate approved by the General Assembly in March 2006 
to pursue the growth of our institution through mergers and acquisitions.

Appropriation of Income

The Board of Directors has proposed the distribution of a dividend per share of EGP 1.00, in addition to 
increasing both the Legal Reserve by EGP 61.6 million to reach EGP 432.9 million and the General Re-
serve by EGP 834 million to reach EGP 1,382.5 million after approval by the shareholders at the Annual 
General	Meeting.		These	actions	reinforce	the	Bank’s	solid	financial	position	as	evidenced	by	a	Capital	
Adequacy Ratio of 14.7 %.

Corporate Social Responsibility 

Given the sense of duty and gratitude CIB feels towards our society, and in continuation of the Bank’s 
history of initiatives within Egypt, we made a number of donations and spearheaded several fundraising 
efforts	in	2007.		CIB	defines	corporate	responsibility	as	the	continuing	commitment	by	our	business	to	
behave ethically and contribute to Egypt's prosperity while improving the quality of life of the workforce, 
their families and the local community and society at large. Our organization seeks to build meaningful 
relationships between the corporate sector and the rest of society.

The function of Corporate Social Responsibility is an important component of CIB's business and is con-
sistent with our mission statement’s objective ‘to grow and help others grow.’  It also supports our objec-
tive of contributing to the sustainable development of Egypt's economic growth.

Our	community	service	covers	various	types	of	charitable	organizations	classified	into	three	major	fields:	
Healthcare, Education, and Social Support & Commitment.

Corporate Governance

Transparency

Corporate Governance

Corporate governance issues rate high within CIB, both in terms of aligning the interests of sharehold-
ers and managers and in terms of the monitoring of management through information disclosure and 
transparent reporting. CIB adopted a sound and effective system of corporate governance best practice, 
comprising highly professional executive directors and senior management, competent board commit-
tees, independent non-executive directors of experience and integrity, an internal audit and control de-
partment	equipped	with	the	best	qualified	and	well-trained	staff,	an	efficient	investor	relations	program	
and	two	reputable	audit	firms	with	an	impeccable	record	of	accounting	and	auditing	practice.

Our corporate governance framework ensures that timely and accurate disclosure occurs with respect 
to	material	matters	regarding	the	Bank,	its	ownership,	operations	and	financial	performance.	It	also	
advocates the equal treatment of all shareholders with sound protection to their voting rights. CIB has a 
practice	of	changing	auditors	every	five	years	to	ensure	objectivity	and	to	benefit	from	new	practices.

Another important strength is CIB’s board composition. The Board is comprised of a majority of non-ex-
ecutive directors who play key roles. The varied expertise of the non-executive directors has created an 
unusually strong combination of directors, all with relevant knowledge and balanced skills and experi-
ence. 

16

The Board of Directors

The	Bank’s	management	structure	is	based	upon	centralization	of	controls	at	the	head	office	and	at	the	
top management level. The management of the Bank’s business takes guidance from the Board of Direc-
tors, which sets the overall strategy and approves all operating policies. 

Our Board consists of eight members. The Directors are elected by the shareholders at the General As-
sembly for a period of three years and meet at least four times per annum. During 2007, the Board of 
Directors convened 6 times.

The Board of Directors’ Committees

Following	the	expansion	of	the	Board	of	Directors	during	the	first	quarter	of	2006,	the	Board	will	over-
see the Bank through the Board Committees and the reports generated to evaluate the Bank’s periodic 
performance regarding all aspects of operations. As such, the Board will meet around six times per year, 
physically or through video or tele-conferencing, in Egypt, with one meeting in New York City.

In addition to the Board’s Audit Committee, CIB has recently established Governance & Compensa-
tion and Risk Committees. The structure of each committee ensures the highest standards of corporate 
governance, e.g., the Governance & Compensation Committee is only composed of independent directors 

Corporate Governance

and	meets	exclusively	without	the	attendance	of	the	Bank’s	executive	officers,	unless	the	need	arises	to	
invite one or more of them.

Audit Committee

CIB	was	one	of	the	first	banks	in	Egypt	to	set	up	an	audit	committee	of	the	Board	in	compliance	with	
the basic principles of corporate governance. In September 1998, the Bank’s Board decided to form the 
committee in order to ascertain the soundness of the Bank’s internal audit system and compliance with 
the	rules	specified	by	regulatory	authorities.	

The Committee’s mandate was extended and articulated in greater detail in the years that followed, 
especially in light of the Central Bank of Egypt’s issuance in June 2002 of a number of rules to be ob-
served	and	guidelines	to	be	followed.	Accordingly,	the	role	of	the	committee	was	redefined	in	September	
of	the	same	year	to	emphasize	its	independent	nature.	Its	scope	was	also	modified	to	be	more	specific,	
especially in relation to risk management, Basel II compliance, money laundering, as well as internal and 
external audit practices.

18

Three independent board members sit on the audit committee. They meet exclusively and regularly 
with the Bank’s external auditors. Bank executives are regularly invited to attend certain meetings when 
relevant issues are discussed.

The Governance and Compensation Committee

The Committee is to be responsible for the development and review of a set of Corporate Governance 
Guidelines, which are then recommended to the Board.

The Committee is to review the remuneration of the Board of Directors (both executive and non-execu-
tive members). This will also incorporate any stock option proposals to the Bank’s Executive and Se-
nior Management Staff. The committee is also to act as a nomination committee when a board seat is 
vacated.

The Risk Committee 

On the macro level, this committee will set the Bank’s “Credit Risk Strategy” and the portfolio mix 
(concentration and limits) for corporate, retail, banks, countries, etc. to be approved by the Board. Expo-
sures according to risk rating, amount & tenor are approved by other committees led by the High Policies 
Committee.

2007 Review of Operations

Hard work

2007 Review of Operations

Corporate Banking Group

The year 2007 witnessed remarkable achievements in the corporate banking business, whereby the loan 
portfolio	surged	reflecting	an	increase	in	average	utilization	throughout	the	year	of	27%	over	last	year.		
Year on year growth rate reached 20% surpassing the credit market growth rate that reached 11% dur-
ing	2007.	The	Bank	played	a	leading	role	in	promoting	business	in	various	diversified	sectors,	namely	oil,	
gas, petrochemicals, fertilizers, telecommunication, agri-business, contracting, real estate development 
and other sectors.  

The expertise and specialized premium services provided by CIB as an Arranger, Underwriter, Agent and 
Security Agent have been well recognized by major Project Financiers and has established CIB’s position 
as a leading bank in mobilizing large ticket transactions in the syndication market. 

CIB’s	total	mandated	syndicated	arrangements	in	2007	witnessed	significant	growth	over	the	year	2006,	
reaching EGP 37.5 billion compared to EGP 19.6 billion in 2006. In fact, the syndication team initiated 
and contributed in major landmark deals, whereby it played several vital roles such as, but not limited 
to, Mandated Lead Arranger, Egyptian Facility Agent, Underwriter, Onshore Account Bank, Book-Runner, 
Security Agent, and Financial Advisor. The key sectors that the syndicated department covered during 
2007 were mainly petrochemicals, telecommunication, oil and gas, construction and food.

22

CIB	continued	to	enhance	the	introduction	of	new	financing	schemes	in	the	market.		We	were	successful-
ly mandated to act as a Financial Advisor and Lead Arranger for four securitization transactions in 2007 
totalling EGP 1.2 billion. Recognizing our lead role in securitization, CIB was awarded “Deal of the Year” 
for 2007 by The Banker for its securitization deal. CIB has hence established itself as the leading bank in 
Egypt	in	terms	of	number	of	transactions	arranged,	having	successfully	closed	five	securitization	deals	in	
Egypt to date. 

The Structured Trade Finance Group continued to secure sizeable trading transactions, reaching a no-
table portfolio of EGP 9 billion in 2007. Total Trade Finance Transactions in Corporate Banking reached 
EGP 27.5 billion. CIB was, thus, awarded the "Best Trade Finance Bank in Egypt" by Global Finance for 
the second consecutive year.

In the Shipping business, CIB maintained its position as the market leader in the Suez Canal Tolls, with a 
market share of approximately 86% and aggregate transfers of nearly USD 3.4 billion. The division also 
expanded	its	financing	activities	to	include	local	and	foreign	cargo,	tanker	&	RORO	vessels,	in	addition	to	
extending	financing	to	the	new	and	existing	ports	in	Egypt.	The	division’s	new	finance	commitments	in	
these	fields	recorded	EGP	748	million.	

Based on such strong performance in 2007 and CIB’s excellent position as the prime Egyptian private 
sector	bank	operating	with	international	standards,	we	are	confident	that	CIB's	corporate	activities	will	
maintain their growth momentum.

Retail Banking

CIB foresees a breakthrough in the retail banking market in the near future. This expected surge in the 
bankable population will likely be the result of sustained growth in Egypt’s GDP and the associated job 
creation. In order to allow CIB to fully leverage this opportunity and to further enhance its market share, 
our Retail Banking strategy was revamped in 2007. 

In order to enhance our delivery and distribution channels, the following actions were taken:

•
In 2007, we approved the opening of 45 branches in order to expand our customer acquisition 
channels. 19 of those branches were opened in 2007, while the remaining 24 will be opened dur-
ing 2008. Our branch network has expanded to reach a total of 131 outlets.

CIB commenced the hiring of a dedicated Sales Team within our existing/new branches to 

•
complement the sales efforts exerted by the existing Customer Service Team.

The operational process in the branch network was re-engineered to allow branches to focus 

•
more on sales and to ensure superior quality service for our clients. 

In terms of product offering, CIB revisited its product range in order to ensure our ability to provide each 
customer segment with the products that suit its needs at competitive terms & conditions.

2007 Review of Operations

The Retail Risk Management Division was founded in 2007 (in line with the international best practices) 
in order to mitigate the inherent credit risk associated with the strong growth in our retail asset portfolio. 

Alternative Delivery Channels

In 2007, the ATM network was expanded to reach a total of 435 ATMs providing customers with 24/7 
banking services. Furthermore, cash withdrawals from our ATMs during 2007 reached an impressive EGP 
8.2 billion.

Our Call Center, which responds to customer inquiries, has extended its hours of operation to 24/7. 
Furthermore, during the 1st quarter of 2008, the activities of the call center were extended to include 
financial	transaction	execution,	such	as	internal	transfers,	credit	cards	settlements,	and	the	issuance	of	
debit & credit cards.

The introduction of online E-Banking registration in June 2007 has led to an increase in the number of 
our E-Banking subscribers of 33%, with existing subscribers accounting for approximately 4 million hits 
during the year.

Credit Cards:

23

In 2007, CIB made its entrance into the Acquiring Business with the deployment of POS machines (which 
clear card payments) at merchant sites. In tapping into this market, CIB is committed to employing 
state of the art technology and superior customer service. The initial results are extremely promising 
and signal that CIB is poised to capture market leadership in this sector in 2008. 

CIB	also	invested	heavily	in	the	enhancement	of	the	infrastructure	of	its	Credit	Issuing	Business.	Signifi-
cant	focus	has	been	channelled	into	refinement	and	automation	of	the	credit	assessment	process,	as	well	
as	added	staffing	and	automation	of	the	central	collections	function.

Finally, CIB paid considerable attention to managing the existing portfolio of cards in order to simultane-
ously	increase	customer	satisfaction	and	the	Bank‘s	profitability.

Residential Property Finance 

The Residential Property Finance Group was established during 2007 as a separate business line to seize 
leadership in the Egyptian Housing Finance market. The group mission is to provide top quality, well 
packaged	and	tailor-made	residential	loan	services	to	meet	varying	financial	needs.	

Our solid business infrastructure and our unique product offering allowed the Residential Property Fi-
nance	Group	to	successfully	carve	its	niche	within	the	Egyptian	Housing	finance	market.	

The	business	framework	is	developed	to	achieve	maximum	efficiency,	volume	and	profitability.	CIB	incor-
porated international expertise, highly experienced and well-trained professionals, as well as a custom-
ized	and	state	of	the	art	IT	system	to	design	loan	products	and	financing	methods	that	harmonize	with	
local market conditions. 

SME

Only one year post inception, the SME Banking Group successfully penetrated the untapped SME market 
in 2007.

CIB’s	penetration	of	this	segment	of	the	local	market	occurred	in	several	areas,	resulting	in	a	diversified	
loan portfolio with particular focus on the small-medium manufacturing sector, exports, and suppliers 
under national programs. This led to the creation of a solid base composed of direct loans which are well 
funded by a strong deposit base and a growing contingent business.

The SME group’s objective is to become Egypt’s leading SME banking provider and contribute positively 
to the growth and development of Egypt’s economy. Therefore, based on our best-practice infrastruc-
ture,	our	pioneer	penetration	of	the	SME	market,	and	our	highly	skillful	and	trained	team,	we	are	confi-
dent	that	the	business	will	continue	to	grow	its	profitability	in	2008.

Direct Investment Division

During 2007, the Direct Investment Team carefully maintained its primary task of properly allocating in-
vestment	funds	into	specific	industries	where	CIB’s	return	on	investment	would	be	optimally	maximized.	
The mission of the division is as follows:

•

Add value to CIB’s shareholders. 

Provide	a	unique	opportunity	for	equity	or	quasi-equity	financing	to	promising	businesses	in	

•
Egypt and the region. 

Provide	financial	advice	to	our	partners,	thereby	helping	them	to	realize	their	growing	ambi-

•
tions.

Our mission is accomplished through a hybrid of methods comprising, but not limited to, dividend distri-
bution, capital gains, and entering into new investments whereby the synergies for CIB is the focus. 

24

In	2008,	the	Direct	Investment	Team	will	focus	on	expanding	in	profitable	industries	such	as	fertilizers,	
cement,	oil	and	gas,	and	consumer	finance,	among	others.	Investment	in	locally	listed	equities	is	pur-
sued based on a combination of fundamental analysis and market research.  Market research is conduct-
ed through alliance with various regional entities in order to gain thorough knowledge of such markets. 

Financial Institutions and Correspondent Banking 

The	FI	&	Correspondent	Banking	Group,	through	its	six	divisions	as	well	as	CIB’s	Representative	Office	in	
Dubai,	has	expanded	its	diversified	activities	to	include	trade	finance,	cross-border	allocation,	fundrais-
ing, marketing products, clearing services, custody services and donor programs. 

Correspondent	Banking	is	the	first	point	of	contact	with	CIB	for	financial	institutions.	It	cov-
•
ers mainly: securing outgoing business for CIB, attracting bonding business (LGs), marketing and 
cross-selling.

The International Presence was established to penetrate new markets overseas and to market 

•
and	sell	CIB’s	and	its	affiliates’	products	to	Non	Resident	Egyptians.

•
Non-Bank Financial Institutions provides services and products to insurance, leasing, invest-
ments and  brokerage companies. The loan growth within this division has increased more than ten 
fold over the last two years.

Cross-Border	Allocation	covers	syndications	of	financial	institutions	and	discounts	of	trade	pa-

•
pers	related	to	financial	institutions	(banks	and	non-banks).

CIB has maintained its position as the number one custodian in the local market since 2000. In 

•
fact, assets under custody reached a total of EGP 252.21 billion in 2007, accounting for approxi-
mately 40% of market capitalization with a customer base of over 46,000. 

•
Finance Programs and International Funds is regarded as a unique division within the entire 
banking	sector.	The	division	mainly	handles	funds	and	finance	programs	provided	by	international	
donors (e.g., USAID, European Union, World Bank, UN, KFW, etc.), with an overall objective of 
creating sustainable develop  mental funds. In addition, the division offers services including, but 
not limited to, fund administration, optimum investment alternatives, disbursement / repayment 
mechanisms, technical assessment and monitoring, fund promotional activities and full reporting 
services. 

•
Our	Dubai	based	Representative	Office	has	acted	as	CIB's	gateway	to	the	GCC.	In	2007	the	
branch introduced several leading GCC based corporate clients to the Bank, providing syndicated 
facilities,	investment	opportunities,	Islamic	Sukuk	and	trade	related	paper	to	financial	institutions	
and corporates operating in the MENA region. These achievements were the result of the estab-
lishment	of	strong	relationships	with	several	reputable	financial	institutions	operating	out	of	Dubai.	
On the retail front, the branch focuses on a niche market, providing private banking services to 
the Egyptian community working in the UAE. Furthermore, the branch works closely with CI-Capi-
tal, our investment banking arm.

2007 Review of Operations

Treasury Group

The Treasury Group’s strategic priority is the management of Assets and Liabilities of the Bank in terms 
of interest rate, liquidity and concentration risk. This is achieved through proactive balance sheet man-
agement with an emphasis on hedging risk. In addition, the Treasury Group is responsible for managing 
the proprietary investment portfolio of the Bank. 

Treasury	diversifies	its	proprietary	investment	in	traditional	and	alternative	asset	classes.	CIB’s	mutual	
funds offer not only a cash management solution to our clients, but also a maximization of their returns, 
at	a	time	during	which	proper	liquidity	management	is	viewed	as	a	difficult	task.	Consequently,	CIB	was	
rewarded with Global Finance Magazine’s “Best Money Market Fund Provider in Africa” award. 

During 2007, CIB strengthened its position as a mutual fund provider by widening its client base, becom-
ing a market leader in the offering of mutual fund solutions to Egyptian clientele and contributing to the 
Bank’s fee income.

In addition, as demand for Islamic products has increased globally, CIB has introduced an Islamic Fund 
jointly	with	Faisal	Islamic	Bank,	becoming	the	first	bank	in	Egypt	to	offer	a	joint	fund.	The	fund	has	
proven to be very successful, and other banks have followed the same route.  

25

Starting in 2007, CIB adopted new market risk modelling techniques and interest rate management 
methodologies	that	reflect	the	latest	developments	in	the	market	place	and	abide	by	Basel	Committee	
recommendations. 

It	is	worth	highlighting	that	Treasury	implements	a	balanced	and	flexible	pricing	strategy	to	support	
CIB’s	expansion	plan,	simultaneously	maximizing	our	profits	and	maintaining	our	competitive	edge.	

Dealing Room

For the seventh consecutive year, CIB won the Global Finance Award for the Best Foreign Exchange Bank 
in Egypt. The award acknowledged the market’s appreciation of CIB’s pioneer role in providing tight and 
competitive market making quotes for banks, corporations and retail clients. Furthermore, CIB expanded 
its volumes by nearly 110% compared to last year to reach a total of EGP 200 billion.

The	impressive	volume	and	profits	resulted	from	CIB’s	ability	to	respond	to	the	Foreign	Exchange	needs	
of both corporations and large investors. Furthermore, our ability to structure tailor-made hedging and 
yield	enhancement	products	has	significantly	increased	our	customer	base	and	subsequently	our	market	
share. 

Despite	the	increase	of	the	primary	dealers	to	fifteen	members	at	the	beginning	of	2007,	the	CIB	Pri-
mary Dealers desk has managed to increase its secondary market bond trading volume by more than 
300% and its treasury bills volume by more than 250%. Consequently, CIB successfully acquired a 20% 
market share in the secondary market bond trading and a market share of 5.3% in treasury bills. 

Moreover,	CIB	was	a	co-manager	for	Egypt’s	first	dollar	dominated	bond	issue	(which	matures	in	2012).	
CIB also offers to its clients a variety of tailored products, structure products, repos, reverse repos and 
tailored maturities.

Finally, CIB has always maintained its focus on developing a well-trained Sales force to target new cli-
ents (corporations and individuals) and satisfy existing ones.

Strategic Relations

“Client Focus” being at the core of its activities, CIB takes pride in being the sole bank with a dedicated 
Strategic Relations Group (SRG), whose main priority is to nurture its relationship with its major institu-
tional depositors. With a portfolio of over 170 strategic clients, whose deposits contribute substantially 
to CIB’s stable funding, the SRG mimics the function of “Private Banking” for its corporate accounts. Of-
fering preferential tailor-made services and innovative products, packaged to meet the unique business 
needs of each individual client, is the very essence of the SRG. 

The success of the SRG as a function is evidenced by the long-standing client relationships that, despite 
fierce	competition,	date	as	far	back	as	the	1980s,	while	maintaining	the	delicate	balance	between	client	
satisfaction	and	account	profitability.	

2007 Review of Operations

Risk Management

CIB is currently in the process of procuring a Risk Management Application, not only for the purpose of 
Data Management pertaining to Basel II compliance purposes, but also for Portfolio Management and 
as well as the upgrade of the Management Information System and Risk Analysis. The Portfolio Man-
agement process focuses on the analysis of risks related to the Bank’s banking book from a portfolio 
perspective. 

The Department is also responsible for identifying, assessing, monitoring, reporting and controlling / 
mitigating Operation Risks, through maintaining a robust Risk Management System and effective policies 
and	procedures	that	reflect	international	best	practices.	

Risk Exposure Management has made several enhancements to the Approval Process, whereby the 
involvement of the Credit Administration / AFU as a risk division is currently included in all levels of the 
Retail Approval Process to ensure compliance with CIB’s Policies and Procedures. These enhancements 
were a prerequisite for CIB’s expanding strategy in retail.

26

Credit Risk:

The bank has a Statistical Rating Model developed to estimate the PD (Probability of Default) risk param-
eter for every Corporate Obligor within the Corporate Asset Class, in line with the Foundation Internal 
Rating Based Approach. The model has currently been used to rate the entire Corporate Banking Portfo-
lio for the last two years. Validation for said model will subsequently take place. On the other hand, the 
data	collection	process	has	started,	for	the	other	two	risk	parameters	namely;	LGD	(Loss	Given	Default)	
and EAD (Exposure at Default) in order to ultimately adapt the Advanced IRB Approach. 

The bank has an expert scoring model for the SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) portfolio, which has 
been in current use to score the relevant portfolio for the last two years. The model will be subsequently 
validated and calibrated into a PD model once the portfolio reaches a certain size. 

Pertaining to retail banking, the Bank has recently developed two expert Scorecards for Credit Cards and 
Consumer Loans. The said scorecards will be used to collect data on the Bank’s retail portfolio for the 
coming two years and the collected data will then be used to develop models for their risk parameters, 
namely: PD, LGD and EAD. 

Market Risk:

CIB has developed internally:

Market Risk Modules that measure the CoVariance and Historical VaR estimates of its FOREX 

•
and directly managed Equities Positions,

An enhanced module that measures the Interest Rate Exposure in the Banking Book in terms of 

•
Expected Loss. 

•

Quarterly Stress Test reports on the Market Risk Exposure.

Risk Asset Management:

The primary goal of CIB’s Risk Asset Management is to monitor and handle problem loans at an early 
stage before they develop into Non-Performing Loans and convert the maximum possible amounts to 
higher credit quality brackets whenever possible. The Department also determines the optimal recovery 
prospects that can be achieved from the accounts and constantly strives to maximize the recovery rates. 
A detailed Loan Portfolio Quality Analysis Report summarizing movement of accounts and adequacy of 
provisioning is prepared monthly by the Risk Asset Management Department.

The Bank’s prudent Risk Rating and Provisioning Policy has enabled CIB to build up substantial provisions 
against possible loan losses. Total Loan Loss provisions reached EGP 1.26 billion in December 2007, 
compared to EGP 1.15 billion in 2006, despite the write off of EGP 178 million in 2007, compared to EGP 
228 million in 2006.   

Due	to	CIB’s	prudent	Credit	and	Provisioning	Policies	and	its	ability	to	restructure	a	significant	amount	of	
Non-Performing Loans, the Bank has improved its General Ratio for both Direct and Contingent Exposure 
to 2.74%. The Department continues to make valuable contributions to the Bank’s bottom line with ag-
gregate Recoveries of EGP 251.2 million as of December 2007, up from EGP 206.7 million in 2006.

Human Resources

The main purpose of the HR Department is to provide the best professional services to attract, develop, 
and retain a motivated and diverse workforce within a supportive work environment, in order to ensure 
the successful delivery of CIB’s Business Plans & Growth Aspirations. 

During	2007,	CIB's	Recruitment	Team	remained	focused	on	fulfilling	the	Bank's	manpower	requirements,	
hiring the best caliber candidates – young and experienced – to ensure that business plans are met. 
Along	this	line,	the	Recruitment	and	Selection	Team	has	successfully	automated	significant	portions	of	
the	recruitment	process,	allowing	us	to	fill	729	vacancies	within	the	Bank.	Moreover,	the	revision	in	the	
structure	of	compensation	packages	has	resulted	in	a	large	decrease	in	the	Bank's	overall	turnover	rate;	
as well as enabling the Recruitment Team to excel in recruiting the best caliber employees. 

The Training and Development Team strongly believes in investing in CIB's human capital. Consequently, 
the team utilizes the most reputable and prestigious training institutions, both locally and internationally, 
in order to provide the best and highest quality training to CIB employees at all levels. During 2007, 320 
training	events	(135	overseas,	122	local	and	63	in-house	courses)	were	held,	which	benefited	a	large	
number of staff throughout the Bank with a total training hours of 75,000, which represents 62% of the 
Bank’s employees. Courses have been carefully and professionally selected, based on the assessment of 
employees’ needs, starting from introductory banking level up to the highest technical and specialized 
levels	in	all	banking	and	management	fields.	

During 2007, and in coordination with the Egyptian Banking Institute, the Training and Development 
Division organized the “Bank Risk Game,” which was attended by all the Bank Directors. The Risk Game 
provides a stimulating learning experience by giving its participants the opportunity to make decisions 
that are similar to those that might be made by the general manager of a commercial bank. Also, the 
Training	and	Development	Division	continued	the	Branch	Head	Certificated	Program,	covering	11	mod-
ules in Management, Banking Technicalities and other job related subjects. Moreover, 40 Branch Heads 
and	their	Deputies	completed	the	Modules	of	the	Branch	Heads	Certificate,	making	the	total	number	of	
Certified	Branch	Heads	and	Deputies	in	the	Bank	147.

On the Organization Development and Career Planning front during 2007, the focus was on reviewing 
all job descriptions bank-wide and improving the synergies between different levels. Also during 2007, 
the	Team	pursued	the	finalization	of	different	Organization	Charts,	with	special	emphasis	on	emerging	
strategic business lines.

During	2007	the	department,	for	the	first	time,	compiled	all	Human	Resources	Policies	that	covered	all	
HR activities, and made them available on CIB’s Intranet for greater availability to all employees. This 
act	was	supported	by	the	establishment	of	an	HR	Information	Focal	Point,	which	acted	as	the	first	stop	
for	queries	and	clarifications	regarding	HR	Policies	and	Procedures.

Finally the department in 2007 launched the Performance Management Process, which includes the 
Annual Performance Appraisal process, in addition to complementary processes that support employee 
evaluation and development. The process emphasized the importance of incorporating CIB Core Values 
in all of our dealings, the necessity of identifying employees’ competence gaps, and the implementation 
of plans to close them out and ensure employee skill development.

Personnel

The primary goal of the Personnel Department is to provide a full range of personnel services to all CIB 
employees. This aim is achieved through the implementation of the latest and most up-to-date trends in 

2007 Review of Operations

the	field,	as	well	as	by	recommending	new	and	enhancing	existing	benefits,	with	the	objective	of	main-
taining and retaining CIB’s most vital asset – Our Staff –. 
Among the major achievements, during 2007, were improvements in the structure of compensation 
packages, as well as staff loans and job allowances for the different departments, which improved CIB’s 
retention rate as well as its ability to attract top talent. Another achievement was the activation of Oracle 
system applications through which all pay slips are issued.

Consistent	with	our	goal,	the	Personnel	Department	is	in	the	process	of	launching	an	Employee	Benefits	
and Services interactive web page, aiming to make self-service available to all CIB staff. This project is 
expected	to	be	finalized	during	the	2nd	quarter	of	2008.	

The Personnel Department also continuously conducts salary surveys to benchmark various jobs and 
positions within CIB to those in the market.  

Information and Communication Technology

28

The IT Department has expanded on its state of the art infrastructure and facilities, continuing to provide 
services internally and for our customers.

The main IT achievements during 2007 were:

Core Banking System: CIB is currently migrating to T-24, the No. 1 Ranked Universal Banking 

•
System (both Retail and Corporate) featuring:

o	Enhanced	business	cycles	and	shortened	time	requirements	for	the	fulfilment	of	important	
tasks.

o 24 x 7 non-stop operations with multiple time zones, eliminating the previously required End 
of Day (EOD) constraints.

o Integrated environment for business applications, eliminating most of the interfacing/integra-
tion restrictions

2007 Review of Operations

Compliance Department 

The Compliance Department was set up in March 2007 to perform as an independent function report-
ing to the Chairman of the Board to protect the Bank against any possible Regulatory, Reputation, Anti 
Money Laundering and Fraud Risks. It originally operated under the Audit Department, focusing on Anti 
Money Laundering. The new structure of the Compliance Department covers three divisions:

Compliance with Regulations, Policies and Procedures responsible for ensuring the availability 
of updated Procedures in compliance with the prevailing Regulatory, Local Banking Laws, International 
Standards and Best Practices and their proper implementation.

During 2007, the division assessed potential new business and products in terms of the level of compli-
ance	risk,	especially	for	non	professional	customers.	It	also	focused	on	the	escalation	and	identification	
of corrective measures for customer complaints to ensure non-recurrence and that customer protection 
is	maintained.	It	reviewed	a	number	of	new	and	updated	different	policies,	procedures	and	workflows	
and followed proper implementation to ensure tight controls are in place.

Anti Money Laundering responsible for the Bank’s Financial Security by ensuring that we know our 
customers	(“KYC”)	through	adequate	and	sufficient	customer	information,	in	addition	to	monitoring	
transactions	with	the	branch	network	and	other	business	areas	to	be	satisfied	that	our	customers	only	
engage in legitimate business.

29

In 2007 the division updated the individual account opening documentation and the “KYC” form for new 
clients to be simpler and concise yet just as informative and clear. Compliance started a project to up-
date	the	customer	information	for	the	entire	Bank’s	client	base	that	will	be	finalized	by	the	end	of	2008.	
This data will also be a strong marketing and cross-selling tool to enable lines of businesses to cater to 
different customer segments’ needs. The division also tailored a more user-friendly in-house means of 
transaction	monitoring.	A	more	sophisticated	automated	AML	solution	and	filtration	system	will	soon	be	
in place during 2008 to comply with international standards.

Corporate Governance and Code of Conduct responsible for ensuring that the Bank complies with 
the Corporate Governance Code that CIB Board and Management have undertaken to adopt. In addi-
tion, it ensures the Bank’s staff awareness and compliance with corporate ethics governed by the Code 
of Conduct. It coordinates with the Board’s Governance Committee to ensure that CIB complies with all 
aspects of the Governance Code.

Compliance updated the Bank’s Code of Conduct governed by CIB’s standards of ethics and CIB’s set of 
core values in October 2007. In an effort to encourage staff to speak up and report misconduct, viola-
tions or breaches, the concept of “Whistle Blowing” has been introduced among employees, ensuring 
confidentiality	and	not	allowing	retaliation	for	staff	reporting	of	such	incidents.	

Compliance Department in turn, acts as a focal point for internal reporting of suspicious activities such 
as policy breaches, law violations, staff misconduct, and external fraud, and works closely with Senior 
Management.	It	presents	a	quarterly	report	to	the	Audit	Committee	of	the	Board	on	such	findings,	with	
recommendations and corrective measures. It cooperates with CBE Anti Money Laundering Unit on any 
cases of suspicion of Money Laundering.

The Compliance Department also ensures the availability of employee training programs to raise staff 
awareness	of	such	issues,	thus	helping	them	report	identified	cases	through	the	proper	channels.

Finally Compliance, in coordination with Human Resources and Personnel, has conducted a risk assess-
ment process for all positions in the Bank. They were segmented to high, medium and low. According to 
this	assessment,	staff	is	to	rotate	or	assume	other	positions	after	a	specific	period	of	time,	depending	
on the level of risk of each area and position. In parallel, the team has reviewed the functions to ensure 
that	there	is	no	conflict	of	interest.

Capitalizing on its strength as Egypt’s leading private bank, CIB orchestrated its entry into the market of 
financial	flows,	investment	and	securities	trading	with	the	incorporation	of	CI	Capital	Holding	in	the	year	
2004	to	become	CIB’s	full	fledged	investment	banking	arm.

The entity offers a wide plethora of investment services such as retail and institutional brokerage, in-
vestment banking, asset management, private equity and research to local, regional and international 
clients. 

Commercial International Brokerage Company

Through its brokerage arm, CI Capital offers a wide range of securities brokerage services for both retail 
and institutional investors, with a presence in ten of CIB’s branches. 

In its pursuit of regional expansion, CI Capital Holding acquired a 50% stake in United Brokerage Com-
pany (UBC) to accentuate the group’s brokerage operations in United Arab Emirates. UBC is a joint ven-
ture company between CI Capital Holding and Oman and Emirates Investment Holding (which is jointly 
owned by both the Government of Abu Dhabi and the Government of Oman), creating a cross platform 
execution in the Emirates, Egyptian and Omani markets. 

Investment Banking

CI Capital Investment Banking activities includes equity capital market products (e.g., private place-
ments, IPO, ADR/GDR listing, and valuation advisory), Merger & Acquisition activities (e.g., buy-side 
advisory, sell-side advisory, asset disposal programs & divestitures, and MBOs & LBOs), and debt capital 
markets	products	(e.g.,	bond	issuance,	acquisition	finance,	and	debt	restructuring	advisory).

The investment banking arm successfully concluded privatizations in the Tobacco, Oil & Gas, Telecom and 
Retail industries.

Commercial International Asset Management 

The	asset	management	division	was	started	in	late	2004	to	benefit	from	the	fast	growing	financial	wealth	
management market in Egypt and the MENA region. The asset management arm became one of the 
main investment managers in Egypt in 2007, with arguably one of the strongest reputations, and more 
than EGP 8 billion assets under management. 

The division serves a variety of clients through mutual funds as well as segregated portfolios. In its 
portfolio management operation, the division offers full discretionary services to high net-worth individu-
als and institutional investors. Clients are provided with comprehensive personalized services, which are 
tailored to their investment and reporting requirements. The list of existing and targeted clients includes 
Egyptian	banks,	insurance	companies	and	financial	institutions	as	well	as	pension	funds.

Research

Originally, the research department operated as part of the brokerage arm up until 2005, when it was 
spun	off	into	a	separate	entity,	serving	CIB-wide	affiliates	with	equity,	industry,	and	economic	research.

The	equity	research	team	includes	certified	analysts	covering	the	various	sectors	and	companies	traded	
in the Egyptian stock market. In fact, the industry research team supports investors in their investment-
decision process in the Egyptian market through in-depth studies that cover several sectors. Moreover, 
the economic research team tracks, analyzes and projects macroeconomic indicators in the Egyptian 
market, which feed into equity and industry research analysis.

statement. 

The same treatment is applied to bonds purchased from the secondary market at a value higher or

assets	include	cash,	due	from	banks,	investments	and	loans	to	customers	and	banks.	The	financial

Unconsolidated	Financial	Statements,	the	financial	instruments’	fair	value	do	not	substantially	deviate	
from their book values at the Balance Sheet date.  The notes No. (8),(11),(12) are showing the fair 
value	for	all	investment	(except	Trading	Investment)	in	the	date	of	unconsolidated	financial	statement.

Financial Statement

(3/2) Risk Management 

A) Interest rate risk 

The	value	of	some	financial	instruments	fluctuate	due	to	the	fluctuation	in	interest	rates	related	thereto.		The	bank	
follows some procedures to minimize this risk such as:

- Correlating between the interest rates on borrowing and lending.
- Determining interest rates in consideration with the prevailing discount rates on various currencies.
-	Monitoring	the	maturities	of	financial	assets	and	liabilities	with	its	related	interest	rates.	

The notes No. (30 & 31) of the notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements disclose maturities of the assets and 
liabilities and the average interest rates applied to assets and liabilities during the year . 

B) Credit risk 

48

Loans	to	customers	and	Banks,	financial	Investments	(Bonds),	due	from	banks,	rights	and	obligations	from	others,		
are	financial	assets	exposed	to	credit	risk	which	result	in	these	parties’	inability	to	repay	in	part	or	in	full	the	loan	
granted to them at maturity. 

The bank adopted the following procedures to minimize the credit risk.

- Preparing credit studies about the customers before dealing with them and determining credit risk rates related 
thereto. 

- Obtaining adequate guarantees to reduce the risks resulting from insolvency of customers. 

-	Monitoring	and	preparing	periodic	studies	about	customers	in	order	to	evaluate	their	financial	and	credit	positions	
and estimate the required provisions for non - performing loans. 

- Distribution of loans portfolio and due from banks over various sectors to avoid concentration of risk. 

Note No. (33) discloses the distribution of loans portfolio over various sectors. 

C) Foreign Currency Risk 

The nature of the bank’s activity requires the bank to deal in many foreign currencies which exposes the bank to 
the	risk	of	fluctuation	in	exchange	rates.	To	minimize	this	risk,	the	bank	monitors	the	balancing	of	foreign	currency	
positions	according	to	Central	Bank	of	Egypt	instructions	in	that	respect.	Note	No.	(34)	of	the	unconsolidated	financial	
statements	discloses	significant	foreign	currency	positions	at	the	Balance	Sheet	date.

«According to the extraordinary general assembly meeting on June 26, 2006 ,  the bank actived a new employees
 share ownership plan (ESOP) scheme and  issued equity-settled share-based payments. Such employees should
 complete a term of  3 years of service in the bank to have the right in ordinary shares at face value (right to share)
that will be issued on the vesting date, otherwise such grants will be forfeited. Equity-settled share-based payments
are measured at fair value at the grant date, and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period (3 years)
with corresponding increase in equity based on estimated number of shares that will eventually vest. the fair value
for such equity insturments measured by use of Black-Scholes pricing model. 

Details of the rights to share outstanding during the period are as follows:

Outstanding at the beginning of the period   
Granted During the period  
Forfeited during the period  
Exercised during the period 
Expired during the period   
Outstanding at the end of the period  
The estimated fair value of the Equity insturment (Right to share) granted is EGP 45.82 .
