The Middle East’s biggest bank by assets aims to cut the income generated from its domestic market to 50 percent by 2020 from about 63 percent currently, Ali al-Kuwari said in a Bloomberg TV interview, his first since the standoff began on June 5. The bank will apply to open a branch in Hong Kong this year and convert its China representative office to a branch, he said. "
