Introduction to the conference

The ACT Middle East is delighted to see its network grow from strength to strength every year. Now in its third year, our flagship annual conference for the region builds upon the series of events we run across the GCC, providing the perfect platform for the region’s treasury and finance community to share and promote treasury best practice.

This year’s event takes a look at the ongoing shift in economic power from west to east and what this means for the Gulf region, which currently sits at the crossroads of these economies.
