?Since the onset of the global economic recession in 2008, the role of finance heads in the Middle East has become even more critical. Everyone from the CEO to junior members of staff needs their expertise to be able to cope with volatility on both micro and macro-economic levels.
And given recent mixed growth expectations in the region, input from CFOs will continue to be influential to an organisation?s success. Although manufacturing and technology sectors are predicting growth figures for Q3 of 15%, the financial services sector declined sharply from 16.2% to 6.3%.
To achieve continued growth, companies are primarily focusing their efforts on existing markets, with only 18% of their time spent pursuing new markets. Other priorities include reducing direct and indirect costs, fixed asset efficiency and working capital.
With many companies taking as much cost as they can out of their business without actually destroying value, they?re now looking to grow their top line. And in an environment where developed markets are unlikely to grow significantly over the next few years, a shifting allocation of resources to rapid-growth markets is becoming a strategic necessity for organisations in the MENA region.
Which is why up to 100 of the Middle East?s top CFOs are attending the 6th Annual CFO Strategies Forum Middle East on October 10th and 11th at Atlantis ? The Palm hotel and resort in Dubai. All will have the opportunity to discuss their most pressing issues and share best practices for navigating through the current economic climate.
The two-day platform is the brainchild of French business information group naseba, and its new format features 8 strategic business workshops led by industry experts addressing subjects such as effective project financing, enterprise risk management and financial restructuring.
Sophie Le Ray, Chief Executive Officer at naseba highlighted: ?This forum is bringing together some of the most respected CFOs in the region. With the ongoing Eurozone crisis, emerging markets in the MENA region hold great potential; this is why our new format incorporates knowledge-sharing, discussions and networking opportunities so attendees can learn, share and apply tried and tested growth strategies.?
