First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)

The FAB Middle East-Asia Connections Summit was a resounding success and we thank our partners, His Excellency Jamal Abdulla Mohammed Bin Abdulwahab AlSuwaidi, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the Republic of Singapore and Dr Brian Shegar, President of the UAE-Singapore Business Council, for helping us bring together industry leaders and key stakeholders to forge stronger economic connections. Not only are these regions doing more business, it is the business the regions do together that is accelerating GDP growth, with the GCC and Emerging Asia growing almost twice as fast as the developed world.

From renewable projects to cutting-edge innovations, the “Energy for Growth” session brought together industry leaders and visionaries to explore how strategic energy investments can fuel prosperity, build resilient economies, and drive sustainable growth for future generations. As a bridge between the Middle East and Asia, First Abu Dhabi Bank is committed to supporting transformative partnerships that empower businesses and communities to flourish.

Our analysis of "The Changing World" focused on the next chapter of collaboration between these two dynamic regions. From accelerating digital transformation to expanding trade routes and exploring sustainable investment opportunities, the session highlighted the strategic areas where the Middle East and Asia can collaborate to drive mutual growth. By aligning efforts and harnessing each region’s unique strengths, we can pave the way for a new era of shared prosperity and impactful partnerships.

FAB Group CEO Hana Al Rostamani opened the Inaugural FAB Middle East-Asia Connections Summit in Singapore with a keynote address highlighting the huge potential ahead as ties between the two regions grow stronger and deeper, creating new opportunities to drive sustainable economic growth. With trade between the GCC and Emerging Asia set to grow to US$760 billion by 2030 from around US$520 billion in 2022, and connections between the two regions opening up a physical, digital, and energy infrastructure opportunity of at least US$2 trillion in the years ahead, around 300 Summit delegates discussed expanding regional investments that leverage the strategic strengths of the Middle East and Asia. As the UAE’s global bank, FAB is committed to supporting the best growth and investment opportunities for its clients.

A fast-changing global economy makes Middle East-Asia connections more important than ever. Trends in energy, trade, demographics, technology, and financial flows make a centuries-old gateway for investment and wealth creation even more critical for the future. Conceived in Abu Dhabi and convened in Singapore, we brought together around 300 top entrepreneurs and executives, investors and financiers, policymakers, and officials from both regions to discuss the growth opportunities ahead. Thanks to our partners at the Embassy of the UAE in Singapore and the UAE-Singapore Business Council for their support in organising the inaugural First Abu Dhabi Bank Middle East-Asia Connections Summit. Stay tuned for updates.
