What do treasurers in the Middle East have to look forward to this year? With the rapid pace of change in the Middle East, the ACT, as the only Chartered body for treasury, already has a busy calendar of events for treasurers in 2017:
The UAE is China’s most important non-oil trade partner among the GCC countries and their trading and investment relationship is accelerating rapidly, particularly against the backdrop of China’s One Belt One Road strategy. The treasurer’s role is becoming increasingly important in multinational organisations and this webinar will develop your knowledge of this trade relationship and how best to prepare for the future in today’s uncertain climate.
Join the ACT, in association with Arabia Monitor, on 4 May to discuss the development of the UAE as a regional trade hub and the rise of Chinese influence. Hear from leading authorities on the region, including Dr. Florence Eid-Oakden, CEO and Chief Economist of Arabia Monitor, in an engaging and informative discussion.
You can join in this lively and interactive debate from:

We'll be taking a look at new technologies and strategies which could help you reduce risk and deliver real value to your business using the latest supply chain finance programmes. During the breakfast we’ll explore how corporate treasurers can integrate and harness these tools to improve cash flow and working capital management to keep your business ahead of the curve in today’s uncertain environment.
Join the ACT and Kyriba, in partnership with the DIFC, at this free-to-attend breakfast briefing on 23 May from 08.00 at the DIFC in Dubai.
