IDC Keynote: The Great Reset: Redefining Financial Services in the UAE
The UAE’s financial sector is undergoing a fundamental reset, driven by new banking law, open finance regulation, and the FIT Programme. Drawing on IDC’s latest MEA BFSI research, this keynote explores the strategic choices facing banks and fintechs as they navigate compliance, reimagine business models, and race to deploy AI and open APIs at scale.
