An alkylaromatics isomerisation catalyst, which catalyst comprises at least 50 wt % of an inorganic binder; at least 0.01 wt % of a Group VIII metal and 1-9 wt % ZSM-12 zeolite wherein the silica to alumina molar ratio (SAR) of the ZSM-12 zeolite is in the range of from 60 to 200, and a process for the isomerisation of alkylaromatics to provide a reaction mixture, said process comprising contacting a hydrocarbon stream comprising alkylaromatics with such catalyst.
