Bahrain-based Ahli United Bank (AUB) has signed up as Platinum Sponsorship for the Arab Banking Conference convenes on April 18 to 19th in Doha, Qatar.
Jointly organized by the Union of Arab Banks and the World Union of Arab Bankers, this premier annual event of the Arab banking industry will be attended by Arab ministers of finance and economy, governors of central banks, leaders of the financial sector, investors and entrepreneurs from around the Arab world as well as from the international financial community. AUB will be well represented at the Conference with delegates from the Group’s eight subsidiary and associate banks in the MENA region and the UK.
Held under the theme, “Towards an Arab Vision of Economic Reform,” this year’s conference aims at bringing together an elite assembly of experts and captains of the industry to discuss wide ranging issues relating to regional economic and financial reforms and to assess in depth the structural and regulatory changes needed in this context.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to sponsor this prestigious event, which we hope will go a long way towards formulating a consensus on a practical approach and recommendations for effecting the much needed financial reforms, paving the way to a stronger, more robust and more stable Arab banking industry, well equipped to face up to the prevailing challenges and better serve the financial needs of the region in the long term,” said Fahad Al-Rajaan, Chairman of AUB.
“We are proud to have AUB as a Platinum Sponsor of this year’s conference. AUB has long been a leader and a visionary in advocating and implementing a pan-regional approach for capitalizing on opportunities and responding to the challenges of today’s increasingly interdependent markets, so we naturally look forward to hearing its privileged vantage point and contribution to the main topics on the conference’s agenda,” added Wissam Fattouh, Secretary General of the Union of Arab Banks.
