The Qatar Economic Forum, aimed at examining global economic challenges and opportunities, will be held on September 20 in New York on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly. This forum will involve political leaders, investors, and business executives discussing geopolitical changes, trade flows, and developments in energy and technology.
Key Topics of the Forum
This event, titled "Growth Based on New Conditions: Capital, Risk, and Resilience," will focus on topics such as geopolitical changes in the Middle East, energy supply and demand, global trade shifts, and the economic implications of artificial intelligence.
Karen Saltzer, CEO of Bloomberg Media, emphasized that the global economy is influenced by new centers of power and investment, with the Middle East continuing to play a significant role in this transformation. She added that this forum is taking place at a critical time for global leadership and decision-making.
Analysis of Economic Conditions and Risks
Jad Chaban, an economics professor at the Doha Institute, stated that this session is being held at a time when countries are facing challenges such as rising public debt and trade wars. He also noted the efforts of Gulf Cooperation Council countries to invest in critical infrastructure.
This gathering is particularly significant as governments and investors assess the economic risks arising from geopolitical tensions and changes in the energy market. Mubarak Ajlan Mubarak Al-Khori, Executive Director of the Permanent Conference Organizing Committee, emphasized that this forum helps connect Qatar and the region's perspectives with international leaders.
This forum also represents a shift in Qatar's role from a regional host to an active player in shaping the global agenda. The timing of this forum alongside the UN General Assembly provides a suitable opportunity for Qatar to engage with global decision-makers.
Among the announced speakers are Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, Saad bin Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister of Energy and Chairman and CEO of QatarEnergy, and Ali bin Ahmed Al-Khori, Minister of Finance. Global business leaders will also be present at this event.
