Doha, June 29 (QNA) - Qatar National Bank (QNB Group) will participate as a platinum sponsor at a major Asia-Pacific banking conference in Singapore later this year, highlighting the growing financial links between Asia and the Middle East.
The Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) Annual Conference 2026, scheduled for September 16–17, brings together global lenders, borrowers, investors and financial advisers to discuss trends in syndicated lending and cross-border finance.
QNB Group said its involvement reflects its focus on expanding cross-border financing and strengthening economic ties between Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
As part of the program, the bank will moderate a panel discussion titled "Charting the Future of the Asia–Middle East Corridor", which will examine capital flows, trade financing and lending opportunities between the two regions.
The discussion will also explore the impact of geopolitical developments on lending markets, the rising use of alternative currencies in cross-border transactions, and the growing role of private credit and asset-backed securities investors in regional finance.
QNB said its participation underscores its strategy of supporting clients through syndicated lending, project finance and integrated banking solutions across high-growth markets.
Speaking ahead of the event, Silas Lee, Chief Executive Officer of QNB Singapore, said the Asia-Pacific region continued to be one of the world's most dynamic centers of economic growth.
He said the bank's participation reflected its commitment to supporting the evolution of regional lending markets and building partnerships that promote cross-border business and sustainable growth.
QNB Group added that increasing demand for integrated financial solutions was driving deeper connections between markets and investors, positioning the bank to play a key role in facilitating capital flows across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. (QNA)
