‎2022 EUROMONEY SAUDI ARABIA CONFERENCE BRINGS GLOBAL MARKET ‎LEADERS TOGETHER UNDER THE THEME “THE INSTITUTIONALISATION OF ‎INVESTMENT AND FINANCE”‎

The 2022 Euromoney Saudi Arabia Conference is set to take place on ‎Wednesday 7 September in Riyadh that focuses on “The Institutionalisation of Investment and ‎Finance”, held under the patronage of H.E. Mr Mohammed Al-Jadaan, the Minister of Finance of the ‎Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in the presence of a group of senior industry leaders and experts in the ‎financial sector at a local and international level.‎

Set to be the first in-person Euromoney Saudi Arabia Conference held since 2019, the event has been ‎launched as a timely platform — in light of the Kingdom’s growth as a burgeoning investment hub — ‎to explore the latest trends in regional and global financial markets. The conference will provide local, ‎as well as international, leaders and experts an opportunity to network and map out the Kingdom’s‏ ‏road to recovery in the wake of COVID-19. ‎

Focused on “The Institutionalisation of Investment and Finance”, the event will bring Saudi and ‎international industry experts, thought leaders, and policy makers together to discuss six main topics. ‎These include: “Saudi Arabia’s economy in the context of the global macro-outlook”, “ESG and climate ‎change”, “Does ESG matter in Saudi?”, “The institutionalisation of the real estate market – housing, ‎logistics, tourism, hospitality and revitalisation of REITS”, “The digitalisation of financial services”, and ‎‎“The development of venture capital in the Kingdom”.‎

On this occasion, Victoria Behn, Commercial Director at Euromoney Conferences said: “The title of this ‎conference is ‘The Institutionalisation of Investment and Finance’ and at Euromoney we have always ‎been strong believers that Saudi Arabia can and should play a leading role in the international capital ‎and investment markets. We are honored to be back in Riyadh at this pivotal time to discuss Saudi ‎Arabia’s ambitious plans to develop a truly new economic paradigm for the region.”‎

For his part, the Deputy Minister of Finance for Communication and Media and the Chairman of ‎the Executive Committee of the Financial Sector Conference, Mr. Hassan Alshaikh, stressed the ‎importance of the Kingdom’s hosting of such events that highlight the distinguished competitive ‎position of the Kingdom’s economy in light of the large-scale progressive developments. The partners ‎of the Financial Sector Development Program (The Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Saudi ‎Arabia and the Capital Market Authority) organized the Financial Sector Conference 2019, which ‎witnessed the participation of more than 80 speakers who discussed, in 21 sessions held over two ‎days, the topics of interest to the financial sector based on six key themes, namely: capacity building in ‎the financial sector, the challenges and opportunities in the insurance market, real estate finance, ‎Islamic finance, the competitiveness of the financial sector, and financial technology‏. ‏The events of ‎the conference continued during the years 2021 and 2022 through focused financial events under the ‎theme “Financial Sector Conference Talks”, during which sustainability and ESG were discussed, while ‎the second edition of the Financial Sector Conference will be held during the period from 15-16 ‎March 2023‎‏.‏

Over the course of the conference day, a range of keynote interviews will also be conducted, including ‎sit-downs with H.E. Mr Majed bin Abdullah AlHogail, Minister of Municipality, Rural Affairs and ‎Housing, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Renée McGowan, President, Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA), ‎Mercer; H.E.
