MultaQa Qatar conference celebrates 10 years
The annual MultaQa Qatar, a conference that covers the re/insurance industry in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA), celebrates its 10th anniversary this week in Doha, Qatar.
“It fills us with pride to host the MENA insurance and reinsurance industry for the 10th consecutive time,” said Yousuf Mohamed Al-Jaida, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC).
“We initiated the conference because insurance and reinsurance are essential ingredients for economic and societal progress, in particular in an emerging market like the MENA region. Looking back over the past years, MultaQa Qatar has certainly contributed to raising awareness of the benefits of insurance and reinsurance in our region. At the same time, it has also demonstrated to the industry our region’s potential for their growth and development.”
MultaQa Qatar has grown from about 80 delegates in 2007 to more than 700 participants from more than 30 countries in 2015, the organisers claim.
This year’s conference, which is again hosted by the Qatar Central Bank and the QFC, is opened with two keynote addresses from the Minister of Finance of the State of Qatar and Chairman of the QFC, HE Ali Shareef Al-Emadi, and Qatar Central Bank Governor, HE Sheikh Abudullah bin Saoud Al Thani.
The international industry keynote address will be delivered by Anna Maria D’Hulster, secretary general and managing director of the global insurance industry’s leading think tank, the Geneva Association.
Other speakers include Ali Al Falada, senior deputy CEO & group president of QIC; Michael Jensen, managing director MENA of AIG; Romel Tabaja, deputy CEO of Trust Re; and David Watson, CEO Reinsurance EMEA of XL Catlin.
