DOHA: Euromoney Confere-nces, the events arm of Euromoney Institutional Investor Plc, yesterday announced a partnership with Qatar to develop a series of live events and related initiatives covering the development of the new global financial architecture.
Euromoney will bring its editorial expertise, financial focus and global network to Doha to work with Qatari government and private institutions to influence the debate on the evolution of global finance.
The first event in this three-year project will be the Euromoney Qatar Conference, under the theme “Global Finance: Re-Designed” to be held at The Ritz-Carlton in Doha on December 11-12, 2012. It will be supported by an extensive online presence.
At the first event, experts from around the world will discuss the global financial crisis and the new global economic pressures and opportunities facing dynamic high-growth nations like Qatar.
The Qatar Central Bank, under the patronage of H E Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabor Al Thani, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, has been the driving force behind this initiative and has mobilised much of Qatar’s financial community to contribute and take part alongside their international counterparts.
Major international and Qatari institutions are taking part, and there will be a strong showing of international delegates. The Euromoney Qatar Conference is co-hosted by Qatar Central Bank, with senior lead sponsor Qatar National Bank; lead sponsors Commercial Bank of Qatar and International Bank of Qatar; co-sponsor Qatar Islamic Bank; and associate sponsor Qatar First Investment Bank.
Euromoney’s Regional Director, Richard Banks, said, “We’re very excited about this, our first large-scale project with Qatar. We know that with the close support of the government and the Central Bank we can add a great deal not only to the debate on the future of global finance but also to the development of Qatar both as a financial market and as a global investor.”
