QNB has announced its lead sponsorship of the 2014 Euromoney Conference to be held in Doha today and tomorrow at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
The conference, entitled “Global Finance: Re-launched,” is considered a “major event” in the financial world, bringing together industry leaders from around the world to discuss pressing global financial issues, especially those relating to Qatar and its economy.
Held under the patronage of HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani, the conference will feature a host of prominent speakers, including HE the Minister of Finance Ali Sherif al-Emadi, HE the Governor of the Qatar Central Bank Sheikh Abdullah bin Saud al-Thani, and Rodrigo de Rato, former managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
“QNB’s sponsorship of the event is part of its commitment to promote financial excellence in Qatar and elsewhere and in nurturing financial knowledge and expertise in the country to pump new knowledge into the economy and achieve the 2030 national vision,’ said QNB Group acting CEO Ali Ahmed al-Kuwari, who will be among the main speakers at the event.
Euromoney magazine was created in 1969 to cover the re-emergence of the international cross-border capital markets. The Euromarket, after which the magazine was named, was the predecessor to today’s mainstream global capital markets.
The publication has championed the capital market and its growth to become “the prime magazine” of the wholesale financial world, its institutions, and its readers.
QNB said it was proud to be a frequent recipient of the Euromoney awards, which the magazine bestows during an annual awarding ceremony to recognise industry leaders.
The bank also said its recent award, “Best Bank in the Middle East,” has reflected QNB’s “excellent services” to clients across its network operating in more than 26 countries across three continents with a total of more than 14,000 employees in 610-plus locations.
