'This is possibly the single largest development in the Middle East Capital Markets Landscape in the past decade' - Arindam Das, HSBC
Saudi Arabia is the single largest market in the Middle East; it accounts for approximately 45% of the region's market capitalisation, and about 67% of the region's trading turn-over. Impressive figures, but now that the Saudi government has opened up their trade borders, what does this actually mean for the global financial landscape?
Andrew Barman, NeMa Director, sat down with Arindam Das from HSBC to discuss why the opening of the Saudi Markets is such a huge development, and what it means for network managers and the larger financial sector as a whole.
Hello from sunny Athens. Well, hello from 20 miles south of Athens actually, the small town of Vouligameni on the coast and the location for the Network Management (Europe) Conference – NeMa. NeMa comes in four flavours – Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia. The European conference is the largest and most well established and this year it welcomed over 460 delegates. The biggest ever. The timing and location couldn’t have been more interesting. A series of cliff-hanger episodes between Greece’s creditors and the home or democracy itself kept us all on our toes and any small period between the major issues of network management debate could easily be filled with speculation on who would do what to whom next.
In its 15 year history, 2015 is the first year NeMa has had the good fortune to head to Athens. With so much to do, see and explore, we asked local Athenian, Dimitris Karaiskakis, COO of the Athens Exchange Group, to give us a run down of an ideal day in Athens.
