MEA Finance Banking Summit & Awards 2024

The success creating partnership of Technology and Finance keeps our region buoyant in the face of the wider world challenges. Though the rises in inflation and interest rates are easing, they are still higher than for a generation, but our region remains hopeful and largely resilient to the challenges the world will continue to face in 2024. The regional banking and finance sectors perform healthily, even robustly in places. Much of this strength and growth can be credited to the incredible innovations that are adding services, broadening markets, creating efficiencies and new revenue opportunities, all brought into daily life by technology. The vital role that technology has in the regional financial markets is now a given, but the questions that now need to be answered are yet to be addressed. What roles will AI serve and what effects might it have on the banking and finance sectors, its customers and personnel? How can payments, domestic and cross-border be further enhanced or tailored by the application of technology? How will the imperatives of CX drive innovation in banking? These are just a sample of the questions and challenges set to be tackled and assisted by financial technology.

MEA Finance Banking Technology Summit &Awards 2024 will once again gather regional leaders in Banking, Finance and Technology will apply their unique knowledge and foresight in a series of lively and highly topical panel debates. The Summit discussions will focus upon the changes technology will bring, the trends that are leading them and the shape of the tasks ahead, needed to establish future-proofed banks. Following the summit, we will then present our 2024 Annual Banking Technology Awards, recognising the commendable achievements of banks and technology businesses for theirdelivery of smarter banking solutions and for their ability to drive real growth in an increasingly competitive regional market.
