ICICI to Focus on Wealth Management With New Qatar Licence

India's ICICI Bank has obtained a license in Qatar, with a focus on private banking services to the wealthy Indian diaspora. The bank is the first Indian lender to receive a license from the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority, and the new branch will be ICICI's fourth in the Gulf region.
