Abu Dhabi: The State of Qatar participated in the annual meeting of the Africa and Middle East Regional Committee (AMERC) of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), held on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

CEO of the Qatar Financial Markets Authority, Dr. Tamy bin Ahmad Al Binali, represented Qatar at the meeting.

In a post on the social media platform X, the Authority said the discussions addressed several key issues, including cybersecurity challenges facing securities markets, regional integration of capital markets, and the experiences, initiatives, and lessons learned by member states, as well as future challenges.

A workshop held alongside the meeting also explored the transition toward the use of tokenized digital assets (Tokenisation) in financial markets, examining whether this technology represents a natural step in market development or poses challenges to traditional regulatory systems.
