“I am extremely happy that the UAE is hosting CFA Institute’s Annual Middle East Investment Conference in Dubai, which has established itself as a global financial centre.
CFA Emirates has been working hard since it was created in 2002 to foster a higher level of financial education, ethics, good corporate governance, and transparency in the local markets — all of which the region needs to nurture and encourage if it is to continue to develop and grow its financial sector.
The Arab Spring has changed the dynamics and the playground, and many uncertainties remain. However, there are a lot of opportunities and aspirations to make the Arab World a better and more economically advanced place.”
-Yacoub Nuseibeh, CFA, President, CFA Society Emirates
