QInvest co-chief executive Hussain Abdulla was a keynote speaker during ‘The Bloomberg Intelligence and ABANA 2024 Middle East Investment Forum’ held recently in New York.
The event gathered industry leaders to explore the pulse of the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region’s economic landscape.
As a keynote speaker, Abdulla delved into nuanced discussions surrounding geopolitical risks, the seismic sway of key macroeconomic factors in the Mena region, and the expansive investment opportunities burgeoning within the Mena region broadly, with a particular focus on opportunities in the GCC that are attracting global capital.
Abdulla, who has 17 years of experience within the banking domain during which he was involved in coordinating transactions exceeding $35bn, dissected pivotal trends and driving forces shaping investment narratives within the region against the backdrop of Gulf economies navigating the aftermath of the pandemic, the impact of the current interest rate environment, and deliberations honed in on discerning emerging opportunities and appraising potential shifts in investment dynamics.
Founded in 1983, ABANA swiftly emerged as a crucial conduit between the North American and Menafinancial sectors, earning recognition as a unique platform for policy dialogues that deepen the understanding of business culture and capital flows between the two regions.
QInvest utilises the country’s global prominence to propel its investment footprint in alignment with the Qatar National Vision 2030.
