China\u2019s reopening is set to provide a welcome boost to global growth, offsetting weakness in Europe and a lingering recession risk in the US. But China\u2019s post Covid pivot could bring inflationary pressures at exactly the moment the US Federal Reserve and other central banks are bringing them back under control.<\/p>\n<p>Look beyond China-US-Europe centric headlines, however, and you can uncover a major shift in the existing economic order: In a world defined by a 19th century-style battle for resources, more assertive economic statecraft and an eagerness for more resilient and geopolitically neutral trade partners, the economic nexus between the Gulf, India, and Southeast Asia is rising in global importance\u2013and looks set to drive global growth and optimism into the next decade.<\/p>\n<p>In the Gulf, Qatar and its neighbors are capitalizing on the opportunity. The region\u2019s sovereign wealth funds, flush with oil and gas revenue from the energy crisis, are competing to fill the $3 trillion liquidity gap left by Wall Street\u2019s retreat. And with global supply lines rerouting and the epicenter of global growth shifting Eastward, the Gulf is increasing the pace of reforms and opening up to meet the world on its terms.<\/p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, the 3rd Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg, will shine a light on the rising south-to-south economy and the new growth opportunities it presents to the global business community. Promoting both established viewpoints and emerging voices from around the world, the Forum will identify the latest economic trends that will drive us towards a new global growth story.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row rtl_reverse=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1734499140591{background-color: #350075 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;bbg-row bbg-bg&#8211;custom-color bbg-bg&#8211;350075 bbg-text&#8211;white&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;bbg-row&#8211;content fadeIn float-none&#8221;]<section class=\"row-jump-link-section\" data-jump-link-label=\"Featured Speakers\" id=\"featured-speakers\">[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1734499860660{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;bb-wysiwyg&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>2023 Featured Speakers<\/h3>\n<p>The forum features a curated group of global leaders and innovators exploring solutions for some of today\u2019s more pertinent challenges as they draw up a blueprint for our shared future.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;bbg-column&#8211;valign-middle bbg-column&#8211;halign-center&#8221; width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1734500303256{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]                <div id=\"images-grid-6710c5df94912\" class=\"images-grid speaker-grid\">\n                    <div class=\"images-grid__list\" data-images-grid=\"true\" bbg-imagesgrid=\"true\">\n \n                                                                    <div class=\"images-grid__item\" data-speaker-name=\"abeer-abu-omar\"\n                                            data-gallery-items='[{\"bbevents_speaker_first_name\":\"Abeer Abu Omar\",\"bbevents_speaker_title\":\"Deputy United Arab Emirates Bureau Chief \",\"bbevents_speaker_company\":\"Bloomberg\",\"image_html\":\"<img src=https:\/\/dev.mediacity.qa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Abeer-Abu-Omar-300x300-1.png alt=\\\"\\\">\",\"html\":\"<img src=https:\/\/dev.mediacity.qa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Abeer-Abu-Omar-300x300-1.png alt=\\\"Abeer Abu Omar\\\"><span class=\\\"slideshow-name\\\">Abeer Abu Omar<\\\/span><span class=\\\"slideshow-title\\\">Deputy United Arab Emirates Bureau Chief <\\\/span><span class=\\\"slideshow-company\\\">Bloomberg<\\\/span>\",\"description\":\"<p>Abeer Abu Omar is Deputy UAE Bureau Chief and is part of the team covering the Middle East&#8217;s economic and government affairs.
