DUBAI (Reuters) – JP Morgan has hired Ishita Kohli to join its Middle East and North Africa debt capital markets team in Dubai, a spokesperson for the bank confirmed on Thursday.
The move was earlier reported by fixed-income news service IFR. IFR also reported JPM is relocating DCM banker Arseniy Loboyko from London to Dubai, which the spokesperson also confirmed.
Kohli was a DCM banker at Citi in Dubai for nearly 10 years and Loboyko has worked for JPMorgan for over eight years, according to their LinkedIn profiles.
The moves come amid a marked pick-up in bond sales from the Gulf this year after issuance plummeted in 2022 due to volatility.
