Saleh Abdullah Kamel, banker par excellence By Abdel Aziz Dimapunong Chancellor, Islamic Banking Research Institute The Islamic Banking Research Institute of the Philippines has been on the search for personalities who might have been the founding fathers of Islamic banking that now spans around the globe. Undeniably the name of His Highness Prince Muhammad Al Faisal Al Saud comes to mind. For one he is the founder of the Dar Al Mal Al Islami (House of Islamic Funds). There is also no question about H. E. Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel as being one of the founders. One cannot escape the fact about H.E. Dr Ahmed Mohamed All, President of the Islamic Development Bank, the bank of the Organization of Islamic Conference. Here we are talking about the big leaguers in global banking. It is difficult to find words to describe their ranking in this arena. We just have to settle for the term Bankers Par Excellence. It is awesome to find their achievements in banking and business. They are empire corporate builders. Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel, banker par excellence. In this issue we focus our concern on H.E. Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel, banker par excellence. He has been one of the better known philanthropists and bankers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Born in Mecca in 1941, Sheikh Kamil owes his success to his extensive preparation and the hard work he has put through the years in a variety of jobs and business pursuits. After finishing his bachelor’s degree in Commerce, he started as an advisor in the Ministry of Finance. Fired by his enthusiasm to participate in the development process of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in another capacity, Sheikh Saleh Kamil went to business in a variety of ways. Sheikh Saleh plays an important role in the everyday life of Saudi citizens. A prominent figure in the economic and political affairs of his country, his chain of business interests have links across Europe and span the Atlantic oceans to the United States and goes still farther to the Bahamas. In the Kingdom, Sheikh Kamil’s name is a household word. Outside of the Kingdom, some of his company nameplates are also household words. In my small hometown in Muslim Mindanao, far away from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the names of Dallah AVCO and SAPTCO ring a bell to workers from Saudi Arabia. Saleh Abdullah Kamel is well known in the banking industry. But aside from being a banker and investment guru, he has also been in various business endeavors. The product lines and services of his various companies affect almost every citizen in the Kingdom. These are in airport maintenance contracts, pre-fab house construction, publishing and printing concerns, marketing, air-conditioning, hotel operations and a host of other establishments.
