Tony Cripps, managing director and CEO of SABB, reaffirmed SABB’s commitment to its role in achieving Vision 2030 and its effective contribution to the development of the national economy through financing major projects, supporting institutions and companies of all types, and accelerating the pace of economic growth and sustainable development in the Kingdom and the region as a whole.
Yasser Al-Barrak, CEO of corporate and institutional banking at SABB, emphasized the need for organizing these discussions and listening to experts’ perspectives and expectations in order to uncover potential for long-term success.
He went on to emphasize Saudi Arabia’s solid management of COVID-19 and prudent use of its financial resources, which have put the country in a highly favorable position, making it an attractive location for both global and local investors.
The speakers shared their views on the themes shaping the global economy in the short and medium term with thought-provoking presentations.
