Over the past decade, the MENAT region has distinguished itself as one of the most dynamic emerging market funding hubs globally. Structural reforms, deeper domestic liquidity, diversification of issuer profiles, the rise of sukuk markets, and increasing cross-regional capital flows, particularly between MENAT, Asia and other emerging markets, are transforming the scale, sophistication and international relevance of the region’s primary markets. Against this backdrop, global macroeconomic conditions, shifts in investor appetite and the ongoing evolution of sustainable and Islamic finance continue to redefine the region’s competitive position. The Forum will bring these themes together through a series of keynotes, panel discussions and case studies designed to provide a comprehensive view of market developments. From the changing funding mix and the growth of local currency markets, to the increasing importance of regulatory alignment, digitalisation and innovation, the agenda highlights both the progress made and the critical enablers required for MENAT’s continued advancement. By convening key stakeholders, ICMA aims to foster dialogue, deepen market understanding and support the region in realising its full potential as a global primary market leader.
