Jordan to host SWIFT Middle East regional conference on March 30

AMMAN – Under Royal patronage, Arab and international bankers and financiers will gather in Jordan on March 30-31 to attend SWIFT's annual Middle East Regional Conference.

The two-day conference on the eastern shores of the Dead Sea will bring together policy makers, industry leaders and key speakers to discuss the opportunities presented by the region's growth and expansion and examine the challenges posed by an increasingly complex geopolitical and economic environment, the organising company said in a statement posted on its website.

The event, according to organisers, will be a mix of keynote speeches and interactive panel sessions featuring senior speakers and strategic thinkers from across the industry and the region. 

The event will explore the role of financial infrastructure in underpinning economic vitality and in facilitating regional and global trade. Other sessions will look at the rising threat of cybercrime and what institutions in the region are doing to improve financial inclusion.
