The seventh MultaQa conference, which saw more than 500 top executives discuss strategies to reinvigorate the (re)insurance sector in the Middle East and North Africa region, concluded yesterday.
“The conference has highlighted the attractive opportunities offered by the (re)insurance markets in the Mena region,” according to Shashank Srivastava, CEO of Qatar Financial Centre Authority, which organised the event in association with Global Reinsurance magazine.
Srivastava said delegates examined the industry’s prospects in a truly comprehensive way, taking into account the relevant global context as well as views from major corporates, the original owners of risk.
“We facilitated more than 1,000 meetings that delegates arranged among each other. MultaQa has clearly developed into a platform were the industry not only debates strategic topics but also prepares and takes decisions,” Akshay Randeva, director (strategic development) of the QFCA, said.
Speakers such as HE Yousef Hussein Kamal, Minister of Finance and Economy; Abdulrahman Ahmad al-Shaibi, managing director of the QFCA; Essa Mohamed Ali Kaldari, CEO, Lusail Real Estate Development Company as well as CEOs, senior executives and risk managers from leading insurers, reinsurers, brokers and multinational corporations examined the key regional and global trends and drivers that affect the Mena (re)insurance industry.
