This week, The TWENTY30 Podcast features an exclusive interview and conversation with Mr. Ramzi Abukhadra, Chairman of the Board of UBS Saudi Arabia and longtime banker in the Kingdom to give an overview and some analysis on the banking sector in Saudi Arabia. How far has the banking sector in Saudi Arabia progressed? How can local banks compete with a flood of international heavyweights? And where is Riyadh’s real estate market going as major government-backed projects begin to enter the market?

Banking in Saudi Arabia is a sector in rapid change as international newcomers, enticed by both carrots and sticks from Saudi authorities, are hoping to compete with local players. Listen to Episode 11 of The TWENTY30 here.

Co-hosts Lucien and Hanaa take the opportunity to ask these questions and more in the program’s “MainStage” segment. Ramzi’s brilliance is on full display in the conversation with Lucien and Hanaa, which takes advantage of Ramzi’s seasoned and experienced outlook with the market in Saudi Arabia.
