sheikha hanadi nasser bin khaled al thani addressed attendees of third networking event for financial professionals
Sheikha Hanadi said that the development of the financial industry in Qatar depends on our sharing information and experiences
Amwal, Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) Authority and Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA) held their third Networking Event for Financial Professionals on 5 November at the Four Seasons hotel in Doha, attended by H.E Yousef Hussain Kamal, the Economist members and other invited guests and experts from the local, regional and international financial communities. The event coincided with the Gala dinner of The Economist Financial Leaders Forum which took place at the same night.
Geared towards the professionals of the financial sector and those in senior financial positions in the wider business community, the Networking Event for Financial Professionals was addressed by Sheikha Hanadi Nasser Bin Khaled Al Thani, Founder and Chairperson of Amwal who welcomed the attendees and said: “I am particularly delighted to welcome H.E Yousef Hussain Kamal, the Economist Financial Services Leaders, Forum delegates and representatives of the Economist magazine. This year’s event seems particularly timely. There is a growing consensus that benefits from the financial industry can go beyond regional economies and that the industry can contribute to the good of society as a whole.”
“The interest generated among industry leaders during these events reflect, I believe, a common goal in the financial community here. What we have seen is a commitment to not only individual success but to the greater good. While no one would deny that competition is a healthy thing, there is something to be said for pulling together, also. The financial industry is thriving in Qatar because of the abundance of quality institutions, and further improvement will depend in part on our sharing insights, information and experiences with each other. It is encouraging to witness the degree to which participants in these events are willing to do this.” Sheikha Hanadi added.
Sheikh Faisal Bin Qasim Al Thani, Chairman of the Qatari Businessmen Association added “We are really honored by the participation of H.E Yousef Hussain Kamal and the enthusiasm of all our distinguished guests who have asserted the significance of this event in building a healthy and solid platform for communication. We are very pleased to witness an ever-growing interest in this occasion.”
Stuart Pearce, CEO and Director General of the Qatar Financial Centre Authority also said “We are delighted to see that the third round of this Networking event has proved to be as successful as the previous ones. We are truly honored by the presence of H.E Yousef Hussain Kamal and all other attendees who have helped us in our quest to be partners in the growth of Qatar’s reputation as the region’s financial hub.”
The Networking Event for Financial Professionals planned to take place 3 times a year, is by invitation only, and will be customized to meet and fit the needs of the professionals that are expected to participate.
