Risk and Capital Management Summit
Meeting the risk challenges of the Egyptian Financial Sector
January 27 - 28, 2008
Cairo, Egypt
The European Commission and the Central Bank of Egypt are jointly sponsoring a conference that will be held on the 27-28 January 2008 at the Four Season's Hotel, addressing one of the vital activities and pillars of success in the financial sector reform program, risk and capital management. The conference will also be supported by the Egyptian Banking institute, Egyptian Institute of Directors and ABN AMRO Risk Advisory Services.
Upgrading risk management activities to international best practices is one of the top priorities of the financial sector reform agenda and constitutes one of the main goals of the FISC Financial- EU funded programme (EUR 15 million).
The conference’s goal is to enhance understanding and awareness of the opportunities and challenges that recent developments in Risk/Capital Management can bring to the finance industry and to discuss key factors for success and the roadmap for next steps in reforming the country’s economy and financial system.
Improved risk and capital management play a key part in reforming the economy of Egypt, and this gathering will provide an opportunity for all key stakeholders in the reform process to share their views and experiences in order to learn about the recent changes in the way risks and capital should be managed and how the future of the economy can be shaped.
Sessions from prestigious speakers across the industry include:
• Fitch Ratings discussing the macro economic and risk outlook for Egypt’s economy;
• The European Central Bank sharing its experience about risk management for its long-horizon investment portfolios ;
• Mortgage Finance Authority & Insurance Holding Company providing insight into how the financial services sector is dealing with risk & capital management.
• The Central Bank of Egypt and Capital Market Authority on how to manage risks in financial institutions from a regulatory perspective;
• Banque Misr on a governance and risk management restructuring project undertaken by the bank and funded by the EC.
