Event Overview
In March 2020, Euromoney was due to run its third annual Saudi Housing Finance Conference in Riyadh, in partnership with the Real Estate Development Fund. The conference, of course, was cancelled. With exponential growth in Saudi's mortgage market, it was important that the Kingdom's story continued to be told. Together with REDF, Euromoney launched a pioneering digital series, survey, and data-driven report.
Over the course of three months, Euromoney used formats such as LiveStream interactive video seminars, on-demand video, market surveys, social media threads and data-driven original research and analysis to tell the story of the Saudi housing finance market to a targeted and measurable global audience. Over 2,700 people tuned in live and on demand to watch the sessions.
The series launched on 1 October 2020 with an exclusive interview with H.E. Mr Majed Al-Hogail, Minister of Housing for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This was followed by a live in-depth Q&A with HRH Prince Saudi bin Talal Al-Saud, Deputy Minister for Residential Support and Beneficiary Services and Mr Marwan Zawawi, Deputy Minister of Residential Products.
The full series included interviews with H.E. the Governor of SAMA, senior figures from REDF, SRC and across the Saudi financial sector. International analysts, experts, and industry players also joined for live and interactive discussions on the future of this vital new sector in the Kingdom.
This unique series provided REDF the opportunity to continue communicating to Euromoney's international audience of wholesale financiers. It also gave market participants the resources to quickly and simply understand the context, history, and opportunity presented by the Kingdom's housing market in 2020 and beyond.
Euromoney also created an exclusive research report on the Kingdom's economy and its emerging housing finance market. A very short and tightly focused survey enabled the audience to give their feedback and thoughts on the development of the Kingdom.
