Euromoney is celebrating its 10th annual Kuwait conference on September 25 in Kuwait City with a focus on Kuwait’s national development plan ‘New Kuwait’, which sets out the government’s economic vision to 2035.

The conference is officially co-hosted by the Ministry of Finance, who have supported Euromoney Conference’s work in Kuwait for the past decade.

Euromoney will be joined by a cross section of speakers from government, business, economics and finance, to analyse the financial sector’s response to the plan and its impact on the economy.

This special anniversary event will begin with a keynote opening address from Dr Nayef Al-Hajraf, Minister of Finance, followed by Sheikh Dr Meshaal Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, director general of Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA). Shaikha Al-Bahar, deputy group chief executive officer of the National Bank of Kuwait and Adel Abdul Wahab Al-Majed, vice-chairman of the Kuwait Banking Association will also take part in one-on-one interviews in the opening morning.

“The Kuwait National Development Plan sets out an ambitious vision to transform Kuwait into a leading financial, commercial and cultural hub by 2035,” said Victoria Behn, director, Middle East and Africa at Euromoney Conferences.

“I look forward to discussing the opportunities this plan presents and the role of the financial sector in its delivery. Euromoney are honoured to have worked with the Ministry of Finance for the last 10 years on our annual event and I believe this will be our best yet!”
