Ouerghi first joined Amana in 2019, serving as Senior Vice President of Sales from Lebanon until 2021. He has an extensive experience in the forex and CFD space. Previously he worked as the Senior Vice President of Sales, along with another stint as Sales Trader at FXCM.

Amana’s decision to rehire Ouerghi comes as the broker continues to expand its presence across global markets. The firm operates offices in Dubai, London, Limassol, and Beirut, with regulatory licenses in the UAE, UK, Cyprus, Lebanon, Malaysia, and Mauritius.

Recently Expanded Offerings

Amana has also expanded its offerings, more recently boosting its cryptocurrency offering to more than 450 digital assets. This step made it among the largest selection among brokers operating in the Middle East and North Africa region. The company announced that the move adds over 300 new cryptocurrencies to its existing product range, which already includes foreign exchange, indices, physical stocks, and automated investment plans.

The expansion is part of Amana’s strategy to provide traders with a comprehensive, all-in-one platform combining both traditional and digital markets. The listed assets include major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as niche tokens like Decentraland and Trump Coin.

Amana said this diversification caters to traders seeking exposure to both mainstream and emerging blockchain projects. The broker, part of the Amana Capital Group, operates offices in Dubai, London, Limassol, and Beirut, and has attracted over 320,000 users since launching its trading app in September 2022.

Executive Interview | Drew Niv | Chief Strategy Officer, ATFX Connect | FMLS:25

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX. We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers. We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
