Saudi Arabia’s Capital Markets Forum in Riyadh, an initiative aimed at deepening the kingdom’s capital markets, has been delayed by a year. That came shortly after the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) postponed its own capital markets event, originally planned for May, to December this year. The debut edition of the region’s newest high-profile event, Dubai Future Finance Week, has also been pushed to November from May. In response to Bloomberg News’ queries, the organisers of Dubai Future Finance Week said the event was moved to November to align with other international forums and local venue availability. The industry’s importance is also reflected in capital markets activity.
