Today's event not only seeks to showcase the immense talent of our investment traders but to also give them the opportunity to meet up with the world's leading investment pro's and economists."
Iskandar Najjar, CEO Alpari ME DMCC commented: "The UAE is at the forefront of the Forex and commodities trading industry in the region, and is witnessing exceptional rates of growth in a short space of time. Such unprecedented growth rates mean it is critical for prominent industry leaders to gather and discuss the trends and issues that may affect further growth. We are therefore proud to sponsor such a prestigious conference, bringing together the most influential figures in Forex and commodity trading in the Middle East.
"The FX Championship is also an innovative and exciting way of raising awareness of the online currency and commodity trading industry, and of the growing prominence of this relatively new component of investors' diversified portfolios", Najjar concluded.
