Meras and Verityv had the incredible opportunity to deliver a seminar for the Capital Markets Authority Kuwait titled “Sustainability Regulations & Data Solutions for Financial Regulators” which was also attended by representatives from the Central Bank of Kuwait. 

The seminar was presented by Dr. Samah El-Shahat, the CEO of Verityv, and Mr. Sameh El-Shahat, the COO of Verityv Analytics, who delved into the role of financial regulators in energy and Just Transition, as well as the non-traditional financial risks associated with sustainability. 

One key takeaway from the seminar was the importance of localizing sustainability solutions and reporting as Just Transition needs to be cognizant of Kuwait’s social and economic structure. Kuwait, being a leading financial sector, is in an excellent position to innovate on sustainability reporting. By implementing robust regulations and data solutions, Kuwait can set an example for other financial sectors in the GCC and Arab region. 

We would like to express our thanks to the CMA for giving us this opportunity and we would like to thank our international partners Verityv Analytics for sharing their knowledge and expertise which span over 20 years.
