Last week, Relational joined the 𝐃𝐃𝐂 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 & 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 in Riyadh, represented by our Group Chief Business Development Officer, Alexandros Efstratoglou, who chaired the panel “Global Benchmarks: Distressed Debt, NPLs, and BRICS vs. Europe.”
Against the backdrop of the ongoing attacks and uncertainty in the region, our participation carried an added significance. We believe that, even in challenging times, dialogue, collaboration and business continuity remain essential. Progress depends on the ability to stay connected, build trust and keep moving forward.
Being in the room with banks, investors and advisers from across the region reinforced what we already believed: Saudi Arabia’s credit market is evolving rapidly, building the infrastructure and capabilities needed to support its next phase of growth.
That’s where we see ourselves. For more than three decades, Relational has been helping lenders and servicers across Europe, the Balkans, East Africa and the Middle East manage credit and NPL portfolios with confidence. We’re ready to bring that experience to Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the current situation. We remain committed to building meaningful partnerships and supporting the continued development of the region’s financial ecosystem.
Thank you to DDC Financial for bringing the industry together, and to everyone who connected with us in Riyadh.
