The fifth Cairo CFO Summit is set to take place on November 18, 2026, at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo - The First Residence. Organized by Developers for Training and Consulting, the summit will bring together a selection of top financial leaders, banking and investment professionals, CEOs, board members, economists, and decision-makers from the business community.
The summit occurs at a time when the financial role within institutions is undergoing rapid transformation. Financial management is no longer limited to reading numbers or tracking results but has become a key partner in guiding growth decisions, risk management, and building institutional capacity to move confidently in increasingly volatile and complex markets.
This year's summit will feature a comprehensive agenda covering key issues on the financial management agenda, including macroeconomic trends, financial and monetary policies, artificial intelligence in financial functions, developments in financial and monetary markets, sustainability and value creation, the changing role of the CFO, empowering female leaders, and building a future-ready financial workforce.
One of the main axes of the summit will discuss economic transformations and public policies through a session titled "Leadership in Times of Economic Turmoil: A Mix of Policies and the Road Ahead." The session will examine the impact of financial and monetary policies on credit, demand, and investment appetite, as well as the reflection of economic reforms on market competitiveness and investor confidence.
Artificial intelligence will have a prominent place within the summit's activities, given its transition from a phase of limited experiments to a phase of actual impact on financial management decisions. The session will discuss how financial departments can employ artificial intelligence without falling into the trap of random use or uncontrolled reliance, focusing on data quality, model governance, and usage security.
The summit will also address the role of treasury operations in protecting the flexibility of financial positions, managing liquidity, and interest rate and currency risks. The session will discuss the impact of interest rates, geopolitical tensions, liquidity, and investor sentiment on gold, stock, and bond markets, the cost of financing, and capital allocation decisions.
Another key area of focus will be sustainability, governance, and environmental and social responsibility. The discussions will explore how to transform sustainability from a compliance item into an element that influences financing decisions, capital allocation, investment evaluation, and performance measurement.
