DOHA: Arqaam Capital, the specialist emerging markets investment bank has announced that it is hosting its third MENA Investors Conference on September 19-20 in Dubai.
Over the two days, Arqaam will bring together the senior management teams of over 70 Middle Eastern and North African listed companies and over 100 investors for a series of high-value one-on-one and small group meetings. Participants represent a wide array of sectors including financial services, telecommunications, real estate and hospitality, consumer staples, energy and industrials.
Tarek Lotfy, President GCC, Arqaam Capital commented: “The last 12 months have again delivered the usual mix of challenges and opportunities. Despite a recent stabilisation in the oil price, the challenge over the next year will be to manage growth and margins in this current low oil price environment. The Mena equity markets have clearly been impacted but the last 3 months have given us a reassuring bounce from the difficult start to the year with the UAE and Egyptian markets having seen a strong rebound year-to-date and with the remaining markets having recovered from their lows.”
“A heavy reliance on oil revenues has stressed the need for both deregulation and fiscal reform and the region is in the process of adopting various alternative revenue generating measures,” Tarek Lotfy added.
Wafic Nsouli, Managing Director, Cash Equities at Arqaam Capital said: “Despite the current environment, the primary capital markets have seen some extremely healthy and encouraging activity.”
