Bahrain will host the 4th GCC Financial Forum on February 24 and 25 at the Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea and Spa.
The forum will provide a platform to debate and discuss the global economic outlook, its recovery and its effects on regional financial markets. Organised by Euromoney Conferences, the forum will be co-hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB).
This year’s forum will include a range of topics, including; Regional finance in the global market place; The role of private capital in public projects; Bahrain’s real economy; The growth of local companies and The pipeline of hydrocarbon projects.
More than 400 leading international and regional financial experts from finance, investment, government, and regulatory organisations and businesses from 18 countries are expected to attend the event. Dr Jarmo Kotilaine, chief economist of the EDB, will moderate sessions alongside the editorial team from Euromoney Conferences and Petroleum Economist.
Richard Banks, director, emerging markets, Euromoney Conferences, said: “2015 and beyond will be, if anything, more complex and challenging than the recent past. With a shift in the oil market, the return of geopolitics and ever increasing regulation – the regional financial sector must redefine both its role and its methods. The GCC Financial Forum is one place where the region and the world come together to make this change a reality.”
Minister for Transportation and Telecommunications and acting chief executive of EDB Kamal Ahmed said the event will provide a platform for the financial sector to address some of the biggest questions in the industry.
