“We at Euromoney are delighted to be back in Kuwait at this pivotal time of change for this unique country and to be involved in explaining the impact of these changes to local, regional and global market participants. I am particularly looking forward to being part of the discussion on the return of geopolitical risk, which I believe is one of the most important topics for international investors today.” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
