Also, the event recognizes the official
opening of Beltone Enclave, Beltone Financial’s
offices in New York. Beltone is the first
investment bank to open an office in North
America solely dedicated to serving investing in
the Middle East. Beltone Financial is the
fastest growing investment bank in the Middle
East and North Africa region (MENA), with
year-on-year Assets-Under-Management growth
outperforming all other financial institutions,
validating Beltone’s commitment to innovation
and creative new products that take advantage of
the investment opportunities in the Middle East,
particularly in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the
oil-rich Gulf States, where previously foreign
investment was restricted.
On February 4th and February 5th panel
discussions, an Investment Forum and one-on-one
meetings will bring US investors together with
Egypt’s corporate leaders to discuss Egypt’s
role as the top performer in the Middle East’s
surging economic revival.
Corporate leaders from Egypt will be joined
by government ministers and representatives from
the Egyptian capital markets.
Prior to the Ringing of the Bell on February
a panel will discuss the benefits of investing
in Egypt. Those speaking and answering questions
include Mr. Duncan Niederauer, CEO of NYSE
Euronext; Egypt’s Minister of Finance, His
Excellency Dr. Youssef Boutros Ghali; Minister
of Investment, His Excellency Dr. Mahmoud
Moheildin; the Chairman of Egypt’s Cairo and
Alexandria Stock Exchange (CASE), Mr. Maged
Shawki and the heads of prominent companies in
the Middle East.

Since 2003, the Cairo and Alexandria Stock
Exchange has consistently registered
year-after-year top performances in the World,
with stocks up 2000%, reflecting a surge
of foreign investment into Egypt, which has
risen from US$ 400 million to more than $11.1
billion in the latest financial year.
On February 5th, Beltone Financial will host
an Investment Forum ‘Unique Opportunities in the
Middle East’ where investors will have
opportunities for one-on-one meetings with
leaders from Egypt’s companies and capital
markets.
The recognition celebrations begin with a
cocktail reception at The Four Seasons Hotel on
3rd February. After the Closing Bell Ceremony a
cocktail reception will be held on the NYSE
Trading Floor, followed by an Egyptian Night
Gala Dinner at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York.
The forum is the first in a series being
sponsored by Beltone Financial. The next will be
held in Doha in March, which will precede Doha
Day in New York.
