The event will be a good opportunity to highlight the climate change policies, especially with the UAE hosting COP 28 and the role of the OIC Business Intelligence Center (OBIC) in supporting trade and investment in OIC member countries. We are excited to gather again physically this year after three years of virtual meetings due to the pandemic and to engage in fruitful discussions to propose collectively innovative ideas to tackle the current challenges.”

The event will feature discussions around the role of multilateral institutions such as ITFC, FAO, and IOFS in addressing the impact of the geopolitical environment on OIC member countries regarding food security, the impact of digitalization on trade and investment, and the role of the UAE in boosting climate change. Other discussion topics will include digital transformation in support of trade and investment, innovations in sustainable credit insurance, and mitigating risks in Africa, exploring credit insurance challenges and opportunities.
