She highlighted the key trends and policies affecting the global evolution of the financial sector, with a
particular focus on the United Kingdom’s role in supporting financial markets and entrepreneurship.

The session reviewed major economic transformations—such as inflation, rising interest rates, and changes in

monetary policies—and explored how to strengthen financial and investment partnerships between the United
Kingdom and the UAE to support sustainable growth in international markets.

During her speech, Emma Reynolds stressed that the financial sector is a fundamental pillar of the UK
economy and reaffirmed the commitment of the new Labour government to maintaining London’s status as a

leading global business hub. She also emphasized the deep historical ties and close cooperation between the
United Kingdom and the UAE, expressing confidence that this partnership will continue to flourish and grow

in the future.

Diversifying Investment Portfolios and Potential Risks

In the session “Geopolitics and Investment… Unstable Pathways,” speakers such as Roberto Hornwig, CEO

for Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East at Standard Chartered; Naguib Sawiris, Chairman and CEO
of ORA Developers; and Burak Dali Oglu, Head of the Investment Office at the Turkish Presidency,

highlighted how private banks and major investors assess geopolitical risks.

They discussed the formation of specialized teams and the engagement of experts from governments and

public administrations to guide their investment strategies, as well as methods to diversify investment
portfolios to reduce exposure to risks arising from political unrest, future scenarios, and their impacts on the

global economy.

Naguib Sawiris remarked, “In today’s changing geopolitical landscape, there is a pressing need for flexible

investment strategies that can meet these challenges.

Egypt has significant economic potential, especially with the recovery of tourism and improved exports—
recent exports have reached around $1.5 billion, which supports currency stability.

As investors seek stable economic environments, the UAE stands out as an ideal destination that encourages
investors to relocate and benefit from its opportunities.

This is reflected in the migration of approximately 1,500 Egyptian companies to Abu Dhabi in the last phase,
taking advantage of the supportive investment environment and economic stability offered by the UAE.”
