Globalisation and geoeconomics drove macro-economics for decades, but further shocks to the system drive the geopolitical balance higher in the world view. In an era of sluggish growth (rate cuts, inflation, US elections) many have a cautiously optimistic view. What is the latest economic outlook globally, and what are the different regional influences driving the global economy?
The IMF predicted growth for the region, and growth expectations in the region outpace those of all other regions. With major reforms and projects still pressing ahead, we are seeing the impacts of non-oil reliance progressing further. This is a deep dive into regional economics and in particular Saudi dynamics with growth seen across consumption, travel, tourism and hospitality. How does that help drive FDI and further growth to progress the agenda towards 2030?

As the Kingdom's economy continues to reach and surpass key milestones—(trillion-dollar economic standing, non-oil activities half of GDP, investment projected to rise to 28% of GDP by 2030, and economists predicting stronger FDI inflows)—the messages seem to say there is still much more to come on the horizon. With significant strides in tourism and events like Expo 2030 and the FIFA World Cup 2034 confirmed, how does the Kingdom envision its position on the international stage, and what more opportunities do we see for it ahead?

Would centralization regionally or globally facilitate international investment?
Fewer stock exchanges would mean more liquidity but more risk. What’s more important?
Would the standardized trading practices and regulations that centralized stock exchanges could offer be better for investors?
How could local and smaller economies compete if their exchanges were consolidated?
Sell-side entities, including investment banks and brokerages, generate valuable proprietary data from market analysis, trading, and client interactions, offering insights into market trends, consumer behaviour, and economic indicators. However, monetizing this data presents challenges, particularly due to regulatory constraints around data privacy and security. Firms must comply with these regulations while investing in advanced analytics infrastructure to manage large volumes of data. On the buy-side, firms leverage this data to gain competitive insights and enhance investment strategies. Meanwhile, infrastructure companies such as stock exchanges and clearinghouses also play a significant role in data monetization, using their vast transactional data to provide services like predictive analytics and risk management solutions. With the rapid advancements in AI and the increasing importance of data-driven solutions, this session will explore the future of data in capital markets. Can we envision a world where data-backed solutions become central to capital market development?

ESG issues have gained significant traction in recent years, although some have questioned whether momentum has waned. Many investors now factor ESG considerations into their investment decision-making processes, with a notable portion of global investors viewing ESG as central to their strategies while others integrate it into their overall approach. Amid various economic transformations, countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia have made ambitious commitments to sustainability, with Saudi Arabia aiming for net zero by 2060 and targeting 50% renewable energy in its energy mix by 2030. As part of the Saudi Green Initiative, the Kingdom has established a 2030 emissions-reduction target, underscoring its commitment to global climate goals. In response to these initiatives, MENA stock exchanges and governments are actively promoting ESG adoption, while private sector companies are increasingly issuing sustainable debt instruments, such as bonds and sukuk. These instruments not only attract investments but also foster sustainable development in alignment with both national and international sustainability targets.
