Commercial Bank has appointed a new chief executive – Joseph Abraham, who was previously CEO of Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Banking Group Indonesia. Abraham replaces Abdulla Saleh Al Raisi, who held the post for nearly three years and has been “promoted to Advisor to the Board of Directors,” the Qatar-based bank said in a statement this week.

CBQ has been in the headlines lately over a public dispute with former employee Shoroq Al Malki. Its decision to name and shame her in newspaper adverts earlier this year drew ire on social media, with critics accusing the bank of defaming a Qatari woman.
