Doha to Host 5th Edition of Euromoney Conference in December

Doha, October 17 (QNA) - The Euromoney Qatar Conference will return to Doha this December, bringing together some of the world's banking leaders and senior figures from across the country's government and financial sectors. The event, co-hosted with the Qatar Central Bank, will provide essential insight into the growth opportunities and challenges facing Qatar and the wider region in the current turbulent economic climate. This year's theme will be "Building a new financial ecosystem," looking at the models and policy shifts that will be required to address current issues relating to liquidity, debt and public spending. It will also address major geopolitical factors, such as the new US presidency and the changes taking place in Europe. Victoria Behn, Euromoney Conferences Head of Middle East and Africa, said: "We're pleased to be returning to Qatar for our fifth year, building on the significant success of earlier Euromoney Conferences. Given the challenges being created by inconsistent growth and low oil prices, this Conference will provide insight and recommendations at a vital time in the region's economic development." In addition to its focus on the wider economy, the Euromoney Qatar Conference will include sessions on asset and wealth management, the requirements of SMEs, and the growth of Qatar's Digital Ecosystem. Qatar is looking to boost private sector growth through a range of measures, to deliver long-term stability and prosperity for its people. The Euromoney Qatar Conference 2016 will host delegates from major banking institutions who will discuss how international institutions can become involved in the development of Qatar's private sector, and will provide an insight into recent changes in the legal and fiscal environment.
