Today, with fears of recession in the US and the threat of a global economic slowdown, investors are increasingly turning to the Middle East as one of the few remaining pockets of growth. Now in its sixth year, the theme for MEED’s Middle East Capital Markets 2008 is the future direction of the Middle East exchanges. Recent alliances with international bourses, growing numbers of companies listing, reduced foreign ownership restrictions and improved corporate governance are all helping to raise the profile of the region’s exchanges. This conference will explore the opportunities and barriers to investing in these markets and review the needs of investors.
MEED’s Middle East Capital Markets will focus on the bigger picture, the event will concentrate on the exchanges, how they are developing and how predictions are being made for the future.
We will provide delegates with a complete understanding of the key issues facing capital markets in the Middle East, including:
Updates on regulatory regimes
Views from existing and potential investors
Case studies from companies that have successfully raised capital
Perspectives from the region’s exchanges and what they have to offer
An overview of the Gulf’s economic outlook.
The conference focuses on giving speakers, delegates and sponsors an interactive experience.
It combines open incisive panel sessions with audience voting to provide informative feedback and stimulate lively discussion.
