Towards 2030: Economic Transformations Reshaping the Global Landscape

The global economy is undergoing fundamental shifts, with financial flows evolving and Gulf sovereign wealth funds emerging as key players in the global financial system—no longer just primary energy suppliers. At the same time, ambitious economic reforms have strengthened the region’s appeal as a top destination for foreign direct investment.

As 2030 approaches—the target year for major national visions in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain—the Qatar Economic Forum, in collaboration with Bloomberg, will spotlight the region’s strategic transformations and their impact on the future of the global economy, particularly amid a new U.S. administration and shifting challenges.

Under the direct editorial oversight of Bloomberg News, the forum will bring together world leaders and top executives to discuss key economic issues, explore market outlooks, and share insights on the trends shaping the global economy in the years ahead.
