               Abu Dhabi, February 28, 2024:


                The opening day of Investopia 2024, held at St. Regis Sadiyaat in Abu Dhabi, witnessed 11

               panel discussions featuring 37 experts, who offered their insights into investment opportunities
               in the new economy sectors, technology, the circular economy, creative economy, hospitality,

               sports and aviation. Attendees who witnessed these sessions included investors, economists,
               leading government officials, policy makers, and entrepreneurs from around the world.


               One of the morning panel sessions considered macroeconomics in the context of where the
               global economy is moving post COVID-19, how a successful COP28 is setting all countries on

               a sound footing to tackle climate change, what the impact of the outcome of the U.S.

               Presidential election will be; and why the global economy remains resilient to geopolitical
               shocks.


               Under the theme  New  Economic Frontiers Unveiled:  Navigating the  Unknown, the panel
               discussed factors driving the new economy sectors, markets and the role of governments and

               the private sector in optimising economic growth.


               Participants  in this session were  Dr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, Executive Director of the
               International Monetary  Fund; Dr.  François Bourguignon, Honorary President of the Paris

               School of Economics; and Dr. Nathan Sheets, Chief Economist at Citi; and John Defterios,
               Professor of Business Administration at NYU Abu Dhabi.
