We are witnessing one of the most profound shifts in global money flows to date. For decades a dominant energy supplier to the world, the Gulf is now transforming into one of the global centers of financial power as well. Gulf sovereign wealth funds now stand as the bankers to the world while pro-business reforms have transformed the region into a dynamic FDI hub. Strategic choices made in the region have a global impact.<\/p>\n

Programmed by Bloomberg News, the Qatar Economic Forum will convene the world leaders and international CEOs who are providing unique perspectives on these and other major themes driving forward the global economy.<\/p>\n

Access to the Qatar Economic Forum is by invitation only. Request an invitation today and connect with the region that\u2019s shaping the future of global business.<\/p>\n
