Euromoney Qatar Conference Begins Tomorrow

Doha, November 23 (QNA) - The 3rd annual Euromoney Qatar Conference will begin tomorrow (Monday) at the Ritz Carlton Doha. The two-day Euromoney Qatar Conference will bring together the world's leading players and thinkers in finance, with a cross section of Qatar's financiers and international investors. Based on the theme "Global finance: re-launched", this year's Euromoney Qatar Conference is set to examine a full range of key topics impacting the national, regional and global economies, with the real estate sector set to be a particular area of focus. A special panel on "Building the Future: Opportunities in the Qatari Real Estate Sector", will be held on the second day of the Euromoney Qatar Conference. Increasing real estate activity has delivered a knock-on effect on lending levels. According to Qatar Central Bank, loans to the real estate and contracting sectors are now worth more than 20% of all credit advanced by commercial banks in Qatar. Richard Banks, Director, Euromoney Qatar Conference, said: "This year's Euromoney Qatar Conference will examine the changing regulatory climate that will make it easier for international financial organizations to play a bigger role in this dynamic and fast-changing market". Other panels include "Changes in the Global Regulatory Environment and their impact on the GCC Eurozone Outlook for 2015", "Trading and issuance Implications of Post-Crisis Debt Market's Liquidity", and "The World in 2015: The Macroeconomic Outlook". The Euromoney Qatar Conference 2013 brought together over 600 people from 30 countries for a multiplatform - live and online - financial debate in Doha. This year's Euromoney Qatar will bring together even more of the world's leading players and thinkers in finance, with a cross section of Qatar's financiers and international investors. (QNA)
