The Financial Sector Conference (FSC) in its second edition will be held on March 15-16. The conference is organized by the Saudi Financial Sector Development Program (FSDP) partners – the Ministry of Finance, Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), and the Capital Market Authority - at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh. It brings together decision makers in the financial sector and senior executives in local, regional, and international financial institutions, as well as international investors, entrepreneurs, and prominent academics.

The FSC will build on the objectives of the first edition in 2019, which aim at achieving integration between the financial sector ecosystem with its various means and tools and contributing to continuous growth within a framework of robust and solid fiscal stability, while employing innovative tools in the development and management of services.

This year’s agenda includes a discussion of key topics regarding the aspirations and concerns of the financial community. It addresses the challenges and opportunities facing the global economy, supply chain constraints, a changing world order, the protracted pandemic, and other factors causing slow growth in many regions worldwide that affect the financial sector and its ecosystem.

The FSC will explore the extent to which financial institutions are resilient and coping with the new financial landscape, which is characterized by rapid technology development, more emerging non-banking institutions, new economic realities, and changing demand. These aspects require the financial institutions to revisit their roles in the market, as well as the way they flexibly serve their clients to enhance their positions in the market.

Participants will address investing for tomorrow, with necessary reviews of risk management strategies and product offerings, green investment plans, new technology, and changing investor expectations amid market fluctuations, and other new challenges and opportunities that aim to ensure safe investment for tomorrow.
