Fahad Al Mubarak
Governor, Saudi Central Bank
The former advisor to the Saudi Royal Court and the first chairman of the Saudi stock exchange, Tadawul, has a deep-rooted view of global financial markets. In his current role as governor, it will require him to bring all of his approximately four decades of experience in the field of finance to balance an increase of interest rates by the US Federal Reserve internationally and a soaring agenda of diversification internally to maintain the kingdom’s growth. Saudi’s real gross domestic product for 2021 increased by 3.2 per cent, and under Al Mubarak’s steady direction, the Central Bank will look to continue the momentum.
