Chairman of the Egyptian Exchange to deliver opening keynote at Middle East Market Data event

Oct. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Dr Mohamed Omran, the Chairman of the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) will deliver the keynote opening address to delegates attending the exclusive Middle East Market Data Business & Training Conference in Cairo in January 2012.

The business and training conference has been designed specifically for the benefit and profit of the Middle East region, and produced by Egypt for Information Dissemination (EGID) (www.egidegypt.com) and DataContent (www.datacontent.com), the premier strategic market data consultancy.

This free event brings together the regional market data business community in one place for the first time to address the issues that matter such as data licencing, policies, pricing, anti-piracy measures and strategic partnerships.  Attendees include regional Exchanges, Clearing Houses, Investment Banks & Brokers, Asset Managers, Data Vendors, Regulators and End User Organisations

Dr Omran comments: “I am proud to be opening this important strategic event.  The market data business is an ever growing, sophisticated and economically significant industry which Middle East exchanges and sources should benefit from.  

Planning for future commercial benefit from market data requires careful strategic and practical considerations, something I firmly believe this event will uniquely deliver to our region, as well as illustrating the growth in our financial markets”

Rafah Hanna, CEO of DataContent, joint hosts with Egypt for Information Dissemination (EGID), comments: “We are honoured and grateful for the support and enthusiasm that EGX and Dr Omran have afforded this event.  The importance of market data to the balance sheet is invaluable, and having the best business practices can never be under estimated.  Market data is no longer the preserve of large exchanges and sources, the Middle East is, I believe, a source of very rich information”.
