What is MultiBank Group’s perspective or take on the state of the GCC economies?
Relocating to Dubai has brought us closer to global markets, given us a strong regulatory environment, and placed us within a thriving regional financial ecosystem. According to the World Bank, the GCC countries are making significant strides in diversifying their economies, moving beyond traditional oil dependency.
Economic growth in the region is projected to rebound to an impressive 4.7% by 2025, driven by proactive investments in non-oil sectors and a steady recovery in oil production.
This resilience highlights the GCC’s commitment to fostering a sustainable and robust economic future, underscoring its role as a key player in the global economy. At MultiBank Group, we view this transformation as an opportunity to align with the region’s progressive vision and contribute to its continued success through innovative financial services and solutions.
With a daily trading volume exceeding $18.1 billion, what trends do you see shaping the future of financial derivatives trading, particularly in the UAE and the GCC?
MultiBank Group is creating a comprehensive and secure financial ecosystem, ensuring our clients have access to the most advanced, efficient, and user-friendly trading platforms. This forward-thinking approach positions us as leaders in the financial derivatives market, particularly in the UAE and the broader GCC region.
Blockchain and AI are pivotal in shaping the future of financial derivatives trading and are central to MultiBank Group’s strategy. Our new AI division, MultiBank-AI, focuses on integrating AI into our internal processes and client services to boost efficiency and enhance the customer experience. Blockchain adds security and transparency, and we’re pioneering ways for clients to trade cryptocurrencies versus traditional assets combined with a state-of-the-art social copy trading platform, creating new opportunities in finance.
We see the industry moving towards more digital integration, especially in fintech, and we’re committed to growing our digital asset offerings, upgrading our tech infrastructure, and maintaining top-tier compliance and customer service to stay competitive.
