With over 200 delegates in attendance of the inaugural ASDFF 2019, the event served as the firing table for several key announcements. The Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Declaration was launched amidst the presence of H.H. Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, where the commitment of 25 prominent public and private entities across the UAE was forged in an effort to foster sustainability and support the health of the UAE’s economy. In order to maintain the momentum of last year’s successful launch, this year’s agenda is highlighted by a series of panel discussions, key addresses, exciting announcements and live ceremonies from leading key players within the financial industry.
