CEO of the Qatar Financial Markets Authority, Dr Tamy bin Ahmad al-Binali, represented Qatar at the meeting.
In a post on the social media platform X, the Authority said the discussions addressed several key issues, including cybersecurity challenges facing securities markets, regional integration of capital markets, and the experiences, initiatives, and lessons learned by member states, as well as future challenges.
A workshop held alongside the meeting also explored the transition toward the use of tokenized digital assets (Tokenisation) in financial markets, examining whether this technology represents a natural step in market development or poses challenges to traditional regulatory systems.
Participants further discussed emerging trends in sustainable finance and how environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations have become integral to the global financial system. The discussions also touched on how financial markets are being reshaped to align with these new standards.
On the sidelines of the meeting, Dr al-Binali met with Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Emmanuel Givanakis.
The two officials exchanged views on issues of mutual interest and discussed ways to strengthen bilateral co-operation, particularly in capital markets and financial services. They also reviewed key global developments in the sector and explored prospects for future collaboration.
