If MENA, then ABANA, or Else Indifference 

June 20, 2023

Message from ABANA President, Khalid Azim on ABANA’s 40th Anniversary:

Over four decades, ABANA has harnessed the MENA’s crosscurrents of people, capital, and ideas to facilitate discourse, build bridges, foster innovation, and make a positive impact.

ABANA was founded forty years ago as the “Arab Bankers Association of North America” with a core mission of fostering professional exchange and promoting the business interests of the Arab and Arab-American financial community in the United States. In 1983, fourteen financial institutions and forty banking professionals became the organization’s inaugural members. Four decades later, ABANA has established itself as a unique forum for policy discussions, with a strong focus on connecting, inspiring, engaging, and informing Arabs, Arab-Americans and others who have an interest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The MENA region has a rich history with import and significance. In early human civilization, the fertile soil of the MENA region was the center point of human existence. Later, the peoples of this land fostered giant intellectual leaps in radical innovative thought and ideas in math, science, medicine, philosophy, art, architecture, poetry, and the very idea of time itself. Although, MENA is no longer the center point of the world’s economy, it still produces 3.8% of global GDP, and accounts for 5.6% of the total world population, and 5.2% of global trade. On a grander scale, the MENA region has a combined $1.1 trillion worth of FX reserves and produces over 35% of the world oil production and 22% of the world gas production1.

Today, significant investment capital is being managed within the MENA region and put to work in some of the most transformational industries on the planet. Not only are MENA Sovereign Wealth Funds being managed by savvy investors and industry practitioners, but they are also putting risk capital into tomorrow’s industries such as Sustainable Energy, Bio-Tech, Artificial Intelligence, Fin-Tech, Pharmaceuticals, Blockchain, Payments and e-commerce to name just a few. As MENA nation states accelerate economic and trade liberalization, along with incremental cultural and social reforms, a fast-growing young population see the world as a place to compete in racing to Mars, disrupting markets, or winning matches at the World Cup. For the financial services industry, this sets the stage for robust growth of advisory and capital raising fees in upcoming years. Saudi Arabia alone has launched $51.2 billion of investments led by local companies and its Vision 2030 plans are breathtaking in terms of ambition.2

There is also an unheralded resource in the MENA region, that is creating opportunity and driving change, the demographic dividend. This is a concept, as defined by the International Monetary Fund, in which a high fertility rate nation has a labor force growing more rapidly than the population dependent on it.  It creates the scope for per capita income to grow and can lead to a more urban, modern, and industrial society, ceteris paribus. The experience of fast-growing Asian nation states (once referred to as “Asian Tigers”) over the last few decades demonstrated that this dividend period is quite long, decades in fact.  Moreover, this phenomenon can be followed by a second dividend through capital and asset accumulation, which also fosters higher domestic savings rates. “In short, the first dividend yields a transitory bonus, and the second transforms the bonus into greater assets and sustainable development.”3 The implications in the MENA region are profound, because unlike the Asian Tigers whose economies were led by external investments, certain MENA nations have an abundance of hydrocarbon resources with large current account surpluses providing the resources to invest in the knowledge based sectors and skills necessary for the success of a modern economy.

These MENA cross currents are creating a vibrancy and energy in the region. This is fertile ground for an organization like ABANA, which centers itself on the very idea of connectivity and professional networks.  In these past twelve months alone, ABANA has hosted program events on Fintech in the UAE, Revolutions in the MENA food chain, Saudi Women entrepreneurs, Hydrogen Energy, and a look at the Turkish economy in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. Moreover, ABANA honored, His Excellency Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund and Chairman of Saudi Aramco, hosted Uber’s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi at a private showcase for ABANA members; and more recently honored John J. Mack, the former Chairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley, in conjunction with the launch of The ABANA Foundation, which will provide scholarships and fellowships.

ABANA has made a difference. The difference is measured not only in years, policy forums, events, gala dinners, honorees, and financial resources, but through its human-to-human intersection and impact.  ABANA has been able to demystify the MENA region, exploring it as a vibrant place for business and financial opportunity.  It has also created a pathway for generations of Arab and Arab-American business professionals to enter the marketplace, to represent the communities they come from, to live up to the best version of themselves. When H.E. Yasir Al-Rumayyan spoke at an ABANA event, his remarks focused on a dynamic future and the importance of intellect as fostered through human capital to solve the toughest business challenges faced in the world today. When Dara Khosrowshahi spoke at an ABANA event, he spoke about humility and kindness in our interactions with colleagues and our community. When John Mack spoke at a recent ABANA Foundation event, he spoke about the importance of doing the right thing, even when doing so comes at a personal cost. Each of these speakers and the countless other ABANA speakers, board members, and other constituents showcase how ABANA makes a difference. It does so by building bridges, facilitating dialogue, and embracing excellence. Renowned Andalusian Philosopher and champion of reason from the 12th century Ibn Rushd once said, “Knowledge is a light that illuminates our darkness.” Ultimately, ABANA’s mission and purpose is to find, share, distill and warehouse knowledge and by doing so illuminate a region, and the humans inspired by that region, for the entire world to see.

ABANA Honors John J. Mack, Former Chairman & CEO of Morgan Stanley, with its first-ever ABANA Legacy Award 

It was an honor to celebrate the legacy and leadership of John J. Mack, Former Chairman & CEO of Morgan Stanley, last night with an incredible view of New York City at the Mandarin Oriental.

In accepting the first-ever ABANA Foundation Legacy Award, John Mack joined a fireside chat with David Rubenstein. He was introduced and celebrated by prominent Morgan Stanley alumni and industry figures, including Mayree Clark, Jerry Speyer, and James Gorman.

John Mack’s close friend and Duke University’s longtime head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski “Coach K” also gave an inspirational talk about John’s many virtues and impact we all can have on one another.

The Chairman of ABANA, Amr Nosseir, in his welcome address talked about the core meaning of the word legacy, as leaving something behind for others, and how that has been the centerpiece of John’s life.

ABANA President Khalid Azim highlighted how guests’ generous support would uplift and transform lives through educational initiatives. 

Proceeds of the event went to The ABANA Foundation, ABANA’s charitable arm dedicated to funding educational opportunities and career support programs for Arab-American, Middle Eastern, and American students passionate about the MENA region. 

Save the date, May 8: ABANA to honor John Mack with Legacy Award

February 23, 2023

On May 8, 2023, the ABANA Foundation will honor John Mack, former Chairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley, with the first-ever Legacy Award, at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City. This award intends to recognize leaders who – over the course of their career – have made an extraordinary impact on the finance and investment industry and positively influenced the US Arab and Middle Eastern community. In accepting the award, John Mack will join a fireside chat with David Rubenstein, Co-Founder & Co-Chairman, Carlyle, to reflect on his own life and legacy. He will be introduced by James Gorman, Chairman & CEO, Morgan Stanley (via video), and Mayree Clark, Independent Director and former Morgan Stanley Executive.

Proceeds from the event will raise money for the ABANA Fellowship, through the ABANA Foundation, ABANA’s 501(c)(3) charitable arm. The Fellowship will sponsor rising young talent with a stipend for graduate studies along with access to all ABANA events and a summit designed to inform and connect these fellows to senior professionals in emerging industries.

For more details on the agenda, tickets, and sponsorship, please visit our event page.  You can also make a direct donation here.

The ABANA Foundation

The ABANA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable subsidiary of ABANA and was established to provide relief to the underprivileged, promote the social welfare and the advancement of education, and eliminate prejudice and discrimination, through scholarships and educational support, educational events, educational literature, and pursuing other charitable causes.

Seed-funding for the ABANA Foundation will be provided by proceeds from the 2023 ABANA Legacy Award Dinner honoring John Mack, former Chairman & CEO, Morgan Stanley. These funds will be used to institutionalize and expand the ABANA Fellowship Program as the newly christened John Mack ABANA Fellowship Program.

The ABANA Fellowship Program

The ABANA Fellowship was established nearly 10 years ago to support Arab and Arab-American MBA students in the US. Every year, ABANA selects a cohort of students who participate in a two-day program. The program includes meetings with leading financial institutions and ABANA Board Members, introductions to mentors, and opportunities to network with key players in the financial services and investment management industries. The fellows also participate in the annual ABANA Achievement Award Dinner and receive a one-year complimentary student membership and access to all ABANA membership benefits. Many fellows have gone on to find full-time careers through connections they have made through the program. Many also return as ABANA members on their own once their one-year membership expires.

Thanks to support from John Mack and proceeds from the Legacy Award Dinner in his honor, the ABANA Fellowship Program will expand on these roots.

Run under the auspices of the ABANA Foundation, the fellowship will target graduate students in their second year. It will have a competitive application process inviting students with a demonstrated interest in the Middle East and North Africa who intend to pursue a business or financial career to participate. The students selected will each receive a stipend to support their graduate studies. They will also be given ABANA memberships and granted access to ABANA’s network and all ABANA events. Most importantly, all fellows will participate in an annual summit designed to connect the fellows to senior professionals in ABANA’s network in finance and investing, private equity and venture capital, real estate, law and consulting, entrepreneurship, technology, and more. This summit will be hosted in New York City and the ABANA Foundation will cover all lodging, and food costs.

The fellowship is an opportunity for ABANA to give back to its community while maintaining links to its core mission and vision: bridging and empowering the finance community active between North America and the Middle East.

My Morning Routine: Heather Ibrahim-Leathers, president, founder and chair of the Global Fund for Widows

Wednesday, 1 May 2024


The Global Fund for Widows is a global non-profit that aims to help widows and female heads of households get out of poverty

Heather Ibrahim-Leathers, president of the Global Fund for Widows: Each week, My Morning Routine looks at how a successful member of the community starts their day — and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun. Speaking to us this week is Heather Ibrahim-Leathers (LinkedIn), president of the Global Fund for Widows.

My name is Heather Ibrahim-Leathers, founder, president and chair of the Global Fund for Widows, a global non-profit that builds microbanks for widows called the Widow Savings and Loan Association (WSALA). We work off a gameya (AKA money circle) or village savings and loan structure, but on steroids. It’s a model that can be taken to any country and modified to fit the needs of the widows and the culture of the country. So far, in Egypt we’ve partnered with HSBC Egypt to build 40 WSALA’s.

The fund started from my kitchen table: After the passing of my grandfather, my grandmother’s life went from being really wonderful to impoverished overnight and I wanted to understand why that happened. It came down to the moment she was widowed and basically disinherited by family members, who took all of her assets and her wealth, leaving her to make decisions like which of her children she could afford to educate, a choice that caused multi-generational impoverishment for some of her children, while those that were educated went off to have incredible lives.

It’s a sustainable option to traditional microloans: Traditional microloans tend to require collateral or a male co-signer, making widows ineligible. Plus, we found that while we could provide widows with funds to build a farm or a palm oil mill, it wasn’t a sustainable, prepackaged, elegant solution. I realized that financial inclusion was the key missing element.

True sustainability provides financial inclusion and wealth: I always say that it’s not enough for me to teach the widows how to fish, I want them to own the lake, because then they can charge for shipping, concession, and parking rates — that’s true sustainability, financial inclusion, and wealth creation.

A virtuous cycle: What we found is that widows who come in use the funds to send their children to school, with their second priority being the health and nutrition of their family, leaving any excess capital to go back into the bank in order to purchase more shares. In our first year of establishing WSALA’s in Egypt, we found that education spending increased some 304% amongst widows.

Our teams across the world are facing many of the same challenges, whether its inflation, the fallout from the war in Ukraine, fuel price impacts, or post-Covid issues, while other issues, such as climate change, tend to affect each country differently.

The work day starts at 9am with a Wall Street-style morning meeting — it’s my one constant of the day. Everyone dials in from around the world and provides a daily update so that we get to build relationships and then it’s back-to-back calls with our partners in Kenya, Tanzania, and Egypt. In Egypt, Alfanar serves as our management partner and members from NGO Future Eve Foundation serve as our boots on ground.

Later in the day, the team and I attend meetings with investors and funders. We could have meetings at the UN or with different ambassadors and heads of committees to talk to them about what our fund does, how we can collaborate, and to hear their thoughts, so largely I spend a lot of time on Zoom. Our in-country teams do the heavy lifting, I’m kind of just doing it all from behind the screen.

Moms just have to work a lot harder, and it’s probably not fair. I was lucky, I was able to leave my day job and start the Global Fund for Widows with the flexibility to work around family. It’s important as you’re balancing work and life to think about yourself, because at the end of the day our children leave us to start their own lives — it’s an indicator of success — so you can’t give everything to them and lose yourself.

Friday date nights: Ever since the kids were born, my husband and I have done something together every Friday night, like going out to eat, to museums, a play, or a baseball game followed by dinner where our rule is that we’ll only talk about the kids for 15 minutes. It doesn’t always work out, but at least we try.

A podcast I love is called Founder Spirit with Jennifer Wu, she has the most incredible speakers and conducts such in-depth research on each of her guests. I also normally have Bloomberg TV on in the background from when I wake up, I need the noise in order to focus and it takes me back to the trading floor.

The best piece of advice I’ve seen was written on the whiteboard of a JPMorgan director that I could see across the trading floor that said “know what you don’t know.” It took about a year for it to hit me and I think it underscores a growth mindset. We don’t have all the answers — nor should we — there’s a lot of talent out there and we have to be humble enough to know that.
