BBK, a major investment bank, is the lead sponsor of the annual GCC Financial Forum, which is returning to Bahrain for its fifth year.

The event will take place on February 23-24 in the new Four Seasons Hotel. It will gather 500 C-suite delegates to analyse the changing dynamics of global and regional financial services.

This year, in light of the sustained fall in oil prices, the event will be an important platform for delegates to hear from experts and policy makers.

A Karim Bucheery, CE of BBK, will take to the stage along with Khalid Al Rumaihi, chief executive, Bahrain Economic Development Board, Rasheed Mohammed Al Maraj, governor, Central Bank of Bahrain and. Mahmood Hashim Al Kooheji, chief executive officer, Mumtalakat.

“We are happy to support Euromoney once again by sponsoring the GCC Financial Forum in Bahrain and further bolster the partnership we have with them,” said Bucheery.

“At BBK we always strive to support such forums that can undoubtedly shed some light on current economic and industry related topics especially those that focus on the GCC. Today, with the fall of oil prices and the difficult times that the markets are facing, such forums give an opportunity to address these issues and provide a platform to discuss freely and hear from industry experts and policy makers.”

Victoria Behn, Euromoney Conferences’ director of Middle East and Africa, said: “We are looking forward to returning to Bahrain to work with our key partners, including BBK. We have a line-up of excellent speakers from the region and further afield who will join our editorial team to discuss how organisations can navigate the challenges and identify opportunities in the current economic environment.” – TradeArabia News Service
