On 30 January 2012, the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority is hosting
senior financial industry experts from the GCC in an inaugural symposium to focus
on emerging macro-prudential developments facing the banking, insurance and
asset management sectors. Participants will leverage the experience of carefully
selected presenters and delegates from the region and globally to discuss the best
ways to tackle key risk issues specific to the region.
This one day event will include financial market regulators, central banks, and
industry leaders to highlight the implications for the region given the potential for
global contagion risks emanating from Europe and the U.S. economic crises. An
overview of regional perspectives on the benefits and challenges of Basel III
implementation, risk governance, and prudent balance sheet risk management
will be delivered.
