HIGHLIGHTS

"Cognitive systems are helping institutions evolve to further enhance the customer experience, uncover new insights and improve the quality of timely

decisions. Banking leaders are poised to embrace this groundbreaking technology and invest in cognitive capabilities to transform financial services."

-Shakeel Mohammed

I truly believe that as this nascent industry evolves in the Sultanate, by overcoming 3 key obstacles of lack of awareness, low investment returns &

e�ective collaboration of Islamic banks for distribution of takaful products catering to both bank & its customers, there will be surge in Islamic finance which will result in a huge paradigm shift of end users from conventional to

Sharia compliant o�erings in the time to come

-Tabrez Farouquee

There has never been a more exciting time to be involved in Banking, Financial Services and FinTech than right now - and to watch an entire industry grapple

with the e�ects of change, and to be part of that transformation, is indeed a privilege

-Gary Collins

The real threat for banks is not that Fintech is here, but when one of the banks will partner with one of the Fintech companies and gain significant

advantage

-Barbara Biro

“(The) banking industry in Oman has been a sound catalyst for the economic growth and it will continue to be so. A fall in oil prices has not a�ected and will

not a�ect its vital contribution”
