GFH extends support to 6th GCC Financial Forum

ManamaGFH Financial Group yesterday announced its support as a Charter Sponsor for the upcoming 6th GCC Financial Forum taking place in the Kingdom on 27th and 28th February 2017.

 The high-profile forum, being organised by Euromoney Conferences and co-hosted by the Economic Development Board (EDB), aims to provide global audiences the opportunity to gain insight on how the Gulf is changing, the financial challenges and new approaches in financial intermediation.

 More than 600 financial leaders and investors, policy makers, regulators, economists, academics and notable commentators from around the MENA region and international markets are expected to attend the forum, which will address key global events, trends and their impact on the continued development of the GCC financial markets.

 Commenting Hisham Alrayes, CEO of GFH, said, “GFH Financial Group is delighted to be joining together with the Economic Development Board and our regional and international peers to debate and discuss what the future holds for the GCC markets. This year’s gathering is more important than ever in light of current and unprecedented political and economic change both in our region and in key global markets including the US, Europe and Asia.”

“It is also befitting that the Forum is being hosted in and by the Kingdom, which has always been a pioneer in financial services and the advancement of the regional financial markets through innovation and the development of the right frameworks, structures and strategies that support financial and economic growth and diversification,” he added.

 GFH will also take part in the financial forum with a senior team of its financial and investment experts.
