It was an exciting start to the BAFT 2025 conference season with a record breaking attendance at the MENA Bank to Bank Forum last week. Conference highlights: 🤝Attendees at the forum wasted no time diving into bilateral meetings even before the official program began, and meetings continued strong throughout the event. Day 1️⃣ kicked off with the BAFT Women in Transaction Banking (WTB) Forum - MENA, followed by a CEO fireside with Raja Al Mazrouei and our very own Tod Burwell and then a powerhouse panel of #TransactionBanking leaders who addressed the region's key industry topics. Day 2️⃣ focused on Fintech, AI, payments, and partnerships, starting with an insightful TedX by Michael O'Loughlin ☘️ on the fintech ecosystem in #SaudiArabia and opportunities it presents, and a special roundtable discussion on #Africa and #MENA partnership, held over lunch. The Forum ended in a high note with a dynamic and entertaining musical keynote 🎸 session on customer experience. As part of our collaboration with Trade Finance Global (TFG), the event also unveiled the first-ever TFG Emerging and Developing Markets publication - a very timely edition! https://lnkd.in/dTeME3-v A huge THANK YOU to all our attendees, speakers, program planning committee members, and BAFT staff for making this a success! #BAFT2025 #internationaltrade #WTB #payments #MENAforum #banktobank
