Africa and Middle East Depositories Association (AMEDA) is gearing up for its 39th Annual Forum, set to take place in the vibrant city of Doha, Qatar on May 1st and 2nd, 2024. This prestigious gathering promises to be a melting pot of ideas, insights, and forward-thinking strategies for the financial industry.
Theme: AI, Sustainability, and Data Security
This year’s meeting revolves around three critical themes:
- AI at CSDs: The growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) within Central Securities Depositories (CSDs) is reshaping the landscape. We’ll explore how generative AI can enhance efficiency, streamline processes, and drive innovation.
- Sustainability through New Initiatives: As the financial world evolves, sustainability becomes paramount. We’ll delve into groundbreaking approaches that ensure the longevity of CSDs while maintaining the highest standards of data security.
- Data Security: Protecting sensitive information is non-negotiable. CSDs handle vast amounts of critical data, including trade settlements and shareholder records. Robust security measures are essential to prevent breaches, maintain integrity, and ensure availability.
Insights from AMEDA Leadership
- Abdullah Abdin, President of AMEDA, highlights the importance of joint efforts. “Our industry faces unprecedented challenges,” he said. “By harnessing AI intelligently and embracing sustainable practices, we can build resilient CSDs that serve our stakeholders effectively.”
- Secretary General, Riham Khedr, shares this sentiment. “Hosting AMEDA’s 39th Meeting in Doha is an honor,” she says. “We’re committed to integrating sustainability measures into our financial operations. This forum is more than simply a discussion; it is a commitment to protect data and promote innovation.”
Engaging Industry Leaders
The event will bring together industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders. They’ll engage in meaningful discussions, share best practices, and explore strategies to enhance CSD sustainability. From generative AI to eco-conscious initiatives, every facet of the financial ecosystem will be under scrutiny.
