Deutsche Bank\u2019s 2017 Market Outlook conference, titled \u201cGlobal and Regional Investment Perspectives 2017\u201d, the third event of its kind for Deutsche Bank in Saudi Arabia, opened yesterday at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Jeddah-Marina. The single day (December 13) conference explored pressing macro issues affecting economies, capital markets, companies, family offices and individual investors around the Middle East & North Africa (\u201cMENA\u201d) region and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 100 conference delegates heard leading Deutsche Bank strategists and economists present on a range of topics including the global and Middle Eastern economies, equity markets, foreign exchange and alternative investments in European real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deutsche Bank\u2019s Head of Wealth Management in Saudi Arabia, Sascha Pietrek, said: \u201cEvolving global growth dynamics and political events such as the U.S. elections and Brexit referendum decision made 2016 an exciting year for our portfolio managers. Heading into 2017, Brexit implementation and French and German elections will contribute to further periods of higher volatility. But, with global growth picking up, we think that volatility will help create a wide range of potential investment opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamal Al Kishi, CEO Middle East & Africa and Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Securities Saudi Arabia, added: \u201cDeutsche Bank has a proud history in Saudi Arabia and to bring a conference of this caliber to our clients for the third year in a row is testament to our commitment to our important clients here. We are continuing to see strong interest and fund inflows into the local and regional MENA economies this year, which has intensified since the launch of Saudi Arabia\u2019s successful USD 17.5 billion sovereign bond this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This conference has cemented our view that tangible opportunities for our local and international clients exist in this dynamic market, despite ongoing global and regional challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
