Citi has hosted its Middle East Research Day event in Qatar to provide updates on the global economic environment and key credit events that could influence global investment strategies.
The event gathered representatives of treasurers, foreign exchange dealers, and investment directors from leading public sector entities and financial institutions.
Citibank Qatar CEO Carmen Haddad said, “This event was organised with the aim of providing our clients with the opportunity to have interactive discussions with our speakers on several topics related to the global investment strategies. At Citi, we invest extensive resources in providing valuable information and market insight to our clients.”
The event featured topics from three of Citi’s leading economists and analysts: Investment Research and Analysis managing director Jeremy Hale, managing director and global head of Credit Products Strategy Matt King, and director and senior Eurozone economist Guillaume Menuet.
The speakers shared their views on the global macroeconomic environment in discussions that covered a range of topics: latest global, emerging markets, and European economic outlook, asset allocation in these volatile times, cross market implications of abundant liquidity, and portfolio diversification strategies.
