世界陸上のスポンサー「QNB」が気になりませんか？

世界陸上を見ていると、スポンサーの中に見慣れない会社がひとつだけあります。

それが「QNB」です。

QNBは、「カタール国立銀行」のことで、Qatar National Bankの略です。

日本では「みずほ銀行」が2013年から業務提携をしています。

Qatar National Bank (Q.P.S.C.)
(QNB Group) was established in 1964 as the country’s first Qatari-owned commercial bank, with an ownership structure split between the Qatar Investment Authority (50%) and the remaining (50%) held by members of the public.

QNB Group has steadily grown to be the biggest bank in Qatar and the largest financial institution in the Middle East and Africa region.
For the six months ended 30 June 2019, Net Profit reached QAR7.4 billion (USD2.0 billion), up by 4% from June 2018. Total assets increased to QAR887 billion (USD244 billion), up by 5% from June 2018. Net Loans and Advances reached QAR634 billion (USD174 billion), up by 5% from June 2018.
