The Euromoney Qatar Conference returns to Doha this Sunday, 29 May at The Ritz-Carlton, Doha. Co-hosted by Qatar Central Bank, this high-level gathering of financiers and investors will chart the latest developments in Qatar’s economic story. The event is under the patronage of Qatar Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, HE Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani. 

With the world’s most highly anticipated football event to be hosted in Doha this year, the eyes of the world will be on Qatar. What will they see? A country that has emerged from the pandemic in strong economic shape and with a vital role to play in regional and global geopolitics.

Qatar has the world’s third-largest gas reserves and is the nation best able to provide new supplies to stressed global markets. Qatar’s neutrality and extensive international relations with the US, the EU, Iran, Afghanistan, and Russia have put it at the top table in global geopolitics – so much so that in January 2022 President Biden declared Qatar a major non-NATO ally.

Global and regional macro trends

Euromoney will lead discussions on the fascinating global and regional macro trends and what they mean for Qatar and the country’s financial sector. The gathering will address the ever-important topics of ESG and climate change and the progress being made in the digitisation of Qatar’s financial services.

Among the distinguished group of speakers include:

  • Qatar Central Bank Governor HE Sheikh Bandar bin Mohammed bin Saoud Al-Thani
  • hiveonline CEO and Fintech Revolution author Sofie Blakstad
  • Qatar National Bank Group CEO Abdulla Mubarak Al-Khalifa
  • Commercial Bank Group CEO Joseph Abraham
  • Qatar Islamic Bank Chief Financial Officer Gourang Hemani
  • Qatar National Bank Group Retail Banking General Manager Adel Al-Malki
  • Commercial Bank Executive General Manager and COO Leonie Lethbridge
  • BlackRock Global Public Policy Group Managing Director Stephen Fisher
  • Moody’s Investors Service – Corporate Finance Group Managing Director David Staples

Euromoney Conferences Commercial Director Victoria Behn said they are incredibly excited to be returning to Qatar. She said that so much has happened since their last event in 2019 and they are honoured to be working again with Qatar Central Bank and sponsors.
