IDC Banking & Finance Congress 2022 | International Data Corporation (IDC) | 27 June 2022 | Al Joud Ballroom, Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City

In 2022, we are going further, together. The Middle East financial services industry will not only see the acceleration of recovery, but also the chance to go further than what we could have possibly imagined in our universe.

The many lessons learned from previous crises have helped point the financial services industry to the most likely outcomes out of the current scenario. Experience obviously helps.

At the onset of 2022, banks, insurance, and capital market firms are already racing – and racing fervently – to plug the gaps exposed by a growing credit risk event, capitalizing on opportunities that are emerging from hyper-transacting and hyper-digital customers and reshaping their business models to ensure they are agile enough to respond to these challenging times.

Today’s financial services institutions find themselves playing a complex game of chess; they must reconfigure their strategies, re-examine their priorities, and outthink their opponents in order to win.

Join a selected group of business leaders from the Banking and Finance industry as they come together to network and learn from IDCs analysts and inspiring speakers from across the GCC region (UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait) and exchange best practices for a brighter digital future.
