MEED, the business intelligence expert in the Middle East, looks forward to robust debate at the Middle East Capital Markets 2008 conference to be held from October 20-22, 2008 in Dubai. In contrast to predictions of doom and gloom elsewhere, economies of the GCC are predicted to grow and continue to diversify. Backed by petrodollars and rich sovereign wealth funds, western companies should be keen to tap into the $5 trillion of investable capital available in the Middle East region.
Edmund O'Sullivan, Chairman, MEED Events, said, "As the credit crunch continues to bite, there has never been a better time to address the key issues causing concern to those working and investing in the Gulf's capital markets, namely releasing liquidity, more robust regulation and greater transparency."
Now in its 7th year, MEED's 2-day conference will explore the key issues and challenges in today's market and highlight the enormous potential for those involved both in increasing the influence of regional Middle East exchanges and those investing in financial markets here. MEED's Middle East Capital Markets 2008 conference aims to help investors understand and make the most of the opportunities on offer in the region now and in the future.
