Qatari banks brace for cash crisis
UAE orders local banks to apply enhanced due diligence
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
A move by four Arab states to blacklist dozens of figures with alleged links to Qatar could squeeze liquidity at Qatari banks which get a significant amount of their funding from the region.
Qatari banks have around 60 billion riyals ($16 billion) in funding in the form of customer and interbank deposits from other Gulf states, said Chiradeep Ghosh, banking analyst at SICO Bahrain.
All types of deposits at banks in Qatar totalled 753 billion riyals at the end of March, according to central bank data.
But the UAE Central Bank has ordered local banks to stop dealing with the 59 individuals and 12 entities with alleged links to Qatar and to freeze their assets, Wam reported.
It has also told them to apply enhanced due diligence for any accounts they hold with six Qatari banks, including Qatar National Bank which is the Middle East and Africa's largest bank, Wam said in its report.
The six banks - QNB, Qatar Islamic Bank, Qatar International Islamic Bank, Barwa Bank, Masraf Al Rayan and Doha Bank - did not respond immediately to requests for comment.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
