Middle Eastern firms are actively looking to diversify their investment strategies and Asia is emerging as the natural extension. More and more countries from the Gulf are now looking at opportunities in India and SE Asia as they gradually recognise the importance of moving away from hydrocarbons and investing in new-age industries. Cash-rich sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East are increasingly parking their wealth directly into Asian companies and funds, hoping to generate returns in the years to come. The trend is gaining momentum, especially amidst global market headwinds and geopolitical tensions. This panel will go into capital allocations, opportunities, and the role of Middle Eastern capital in shaping the future investment landscape in the region.
