WELCOME TO GLOBAL BANKING & MARKETS: SAUDI ARABIA 2025

4TH & 5TH FEBRUARY | HILTON RIYADH HOTEL & RESIDENCES, RIYADH

"Mobilising Global Capital"

As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues to realise Vision 2030, its need for external capital will grow exponentially. To achieve this ambitious vision, the Kingdom needs to mobilize all types of global capital—from primary sovereign fixed income and listed equity to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and, vitally, private equity and credit. It needs to use its significant domestic financial resources as catalysts to attract international capital at scale and speed.

We are the leading business meetings facilitator and the annual meeting place for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's financial markets. Deliver demonstrable ROI on your time out of the office; let us help you to connect with hard-to-reach targets and pre-arrange key meetings before you even arrive through our 1-2-1 meetings concierge service.

This in-person event will bring together 700+ local, regional, and global banking & markets leaders; from public and private issuers and borrowers, sovereigns, governments, corporates, investors, banks, DFIs/MDFIs, law firms, regulators, insurance companies, insurance brokers, market practitioners & more.

Progress deal flow across multiple markets with us in 1 location via 2 concurrent content streams, which boast separate topical agendas, industry insights, and expert speakers. Streams share a networking arena so that you can access elite financial stakeholders and senior decision-makers across markets in 1 place at 1 time.

One Global Banking & Markets: Saudi Arabia 2025 delegate ticket permits you access to both content streams (we do not sell individual tickets).
