Shuaa said the scale of exposure will not have a long lasting impact on the bank’s balance sheet and core banking operations, and should not extend beyond a temporary dampening of profitability.

Shuaa said Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank’s purchase of a 25 percent stake in RHB Capital, Malaysia’s fourth-largest lender, for about 4.5 billion dirhams should provide revenue growth catalysts.
