“NBAD’s Global Financial Markets Forum is established as the most prestigious and coveted regional gathering of the world’s influential thinkers and decision-makers and we continue on to build on its achievement in each successive years,” says Mahmood Al Aradi, the Senior General Manager of Financial Markets Division of NBAD. “This year, as in the past years, GFMF’s speakers will explore on the most important and critical issues impacting regional and global politics and economics.”
