Together, these results underscore CFI’s ability to achieve sustainable, broad-based growth, while maintaining customer confidence, platform efficiency, and stable operational performance.

Commenting on these results, Ziad Melhem, CEO of CFI Financial Group, said: “The fourth quarter was a strong conclusion to an exceptional year by all standards.

As we enter 2026, our focus remains focused on innovation, responsible expansion, and providing trading experiences with global standards on a large scale.”

In addition to the strong financial performance, the fourth quarter witnessed important developments in the areas of leadership, governance and regional expansion.

Furthermore, Martin Chioro has joined the Group’s executive team as Chief Technology and Information Officer, in support of CFI’s strategy of placing technology at the heart of its operations, with a continued focus on developing innovative trading platforms.

In a related context, CFI completed the formation of its Board of Directors by appointing new members, in a pivotal step that strengthens corporate governance and consolidates the long-term strategic role of the Board of Directors, as the group enters a new phase of growth.

During the fourth quarter, CFI continued to strengthen its regional ecosystem by establishing strategic partnerships with prestigious institutions, including the American University of Science and Technology in Lebanon, the “Beirut One” conference, the C8 Conference and Exhibition in Jordan, and the Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi. These partnerships reflect the Group’s commitment to building long-term institutional relationships, supporting market development, and promoting sustainable interaction in the region.
