مستقبل المالية لا يتوقف عند إعداد التقارير… بل يبدأ من القدرة على تحويل البيانات إلى قرارات أذكى.

مع تسارع استخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي في القطاع المالي، يتغير دور المتخصص المالي بشكل واضح؛ من التركيز على Financial Reporting وتحليل ما حدث، إلى دور أكثر تأثيرًا في التحليل، التنبؤ، ودعم القرارات الاستراتيجية.

يسر IMA Riyadh Chapter دعوتكم لحضور جلستنا القادمة:

The AI-Powered Finance Leader
From Financial Reporting to Decision Intelligence

جلسة مخصصة لاستكشاف كيف يعيد الذكاء الاصطناعي تشكيل وظيفة المالية، وكيف يمكن للمتخصصين والقادة الماليين الاستفادة منه للانتقال من التقارير المالية إلى ذكاء القرار.

As part of the “City Economies Series Initiative”, IMA Riyadh Chapter, in collaboration with Madinaty Office - Riyadh Municipality, Al Salam Branch, successfully hosted an insightful session discussing the role of financial derivatives in the Saudi market and their growing importance within the Kingdom’s evolving financial ecosystem.

The session highlighted how Riyadh is rapidly positioning itself to become one of the world’s Top 10 city economies by 2030, driven by the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030, economic diversification, capital market development, and financial innovation.

The discussion focused on the strategic impact of derivatives markets in enhancing risk management, market efficiency, liquidity, and investment sophistication — all of which are essential components of a globally competitive economy.
