UNGA Special Edition 2026

Event Details

Ahead of its return to Doha in April 2027, the Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg, will host a UNGA Special Edition in New York on Sunday, September 20, 2026, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week.
 

Growth on New Terms: Capital, Risk and Resilience

Conflict, disrupted energy routes and fragmented trade are reshaping the assumptions behind the global economy. Open markets, stable supply chains and predictable flows of capital can no longer be taken for granted. In this new environment, durable growth depends on disciplined investment, sharper risk management and the ability of economies, institutions and markets to absorb shocks while sustaining confidence. Qatar and the Gulf economies are central to this response: helping shape the diplomacy required for a more volatile era and stewarding some of the world’s largest pools of long-term capital.

At this UNGA Special Edition of the Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg, heads of state and government, global CEOs and market-moving investors will examine how regional leadership is shaping the future economy. Conversations will focus on the questions now defining global growth: where capital moves next, how risk is priced and managed, which economies and markets prove resilient and what it takes to sustain investment through volatility.
