Cairo – Mubasher: EFG Hermes announced the launch of its fourth virtual investor conference under the title of “After Reflation - FEMs in 2022", which runs from 13 September to 21 September.
The event, operated on a digital platform by EFG Hermes, will host executives from 215 companies representing 35 countries, in addition to more than 720 investors from over 260 financial institutions, according to a statement on Monday.
The participants will exchange insights on investment opportunities across frontier emerging markets (FEMs) in 2022.
Mohamed Ebeid, Co-CEO of the Investment Bank at EFG Hermes, said, "Frontier market and MENA aggregates have outperformed emerging market indices in 2021 thanks to a combination of rising retail activity and strong foreign flows into MENA markets."
"As we kick off the conference today, we hope to provide a forum where the largest and most diverse group of investors and executives from companies in compelling FEM markets can come together to share key insights that will allow both to secure investment opportunities," Ebeid added.
"Today, investors are looking into what the future is for inflation in FEM economies and the US; the potential for a commodity super-cycle; and persistently high debt burdens - issues we anticipate will be addressed in full during the conference," he noted.
