The 13th edition of the New Age Banking Summit (NABS), a leading platform for the banking and fintech sector in the Middle East, will be held in Doha on February 12 with the participation of nearly 200 bankers and technology leaders.
Qatari banks remain highly profitable, with rising customer deposits, assets, loans and advances. However, challenges and risks remain, according to a statement from the US-Qatar Business Council (USQBC). Innovation and forward thinking remain key factors for financial institutions, caught between an uncertain world economy, fast digitisation, and growing costs, it said.
Revenue and profit generation, business growth, financial resilience, and shareholder value are among other key imperatives. The 2020 edition will thus look at the future of lending in Qatar and provide knowledge and a networking platform to help lenders devise strategies and leverage an ever-changing banking ecosystem, the statement continued.
The summit will also address critical developments in the banking sector in Qatar and the wider Middle East, particularly in credit quality, financial markets, regulatory cooperation, RegTech, Fintech, block chain, cybersecurity, AI, Islamic finance, and anti-money laundering efforts. In its previous editions, NABS has identified future patterns transforming the industry and fuelling innovation, thereby staying ahead of the curve.
The 13th edition of the event in Qatar will bring together thought leaders and industry experts who will share case studies and strategies and the next practices in latest technologies.
The NABS Qatar Awards will recognise and celebrate outstanding achievement and contribution to the banking and financial industry. They are aimed at honouring organisations that have consistently demonstrated exemplary performance. These awards set a standard of excellence that is held in high regard.
The NABS Awards will not just recognise the endeavours of the most successful organisations, but also set a benchmark, inspiring other banking and financial institution to attain excellence. Details are available at http://newagebankingsummit.com/qatar/
