NESMA’S PRESIDENT ON
CNBC ARABIA
N
esma President, Saleh Al-Turki, was
interviewed by the Arab TV presenter,
Ricardo Karam, on CNBC Arabia.
Speaking about the importance of gender equality
in employment, Sh. Saleh emphasized the role
of women in the workplace. He stated, “Success
is the same whether it is achieved by a man or a
woman! Unfortunately, it’s quite a challenge for
women in our Arab society to succeed because
the society supports males and sees them as
naturally successful. Men and women should work
together and share the same values and visions.”
He added, “Saudi incomes will never increase
Saudi incomes will never increase
without the employment of
both genders in all the various
positions; male superiority might
continue for a long period of time
unless we open up to accept
change and stop being afraid of it.

together finance representatives from across the Nesma

the world of finance. He described how the oil economy has fallen
although the government is still, financially, one of the strongest in
the world with no overseas debt. He also said that in the future, we
are likely to see banks examining financials more carefully so it’s
important that our numbers are very accurate. We also need to be
very careful with expenditures and “challenge the budget”.
The last part of the forum included a speech about adopting (IFRS),
International Financial Reporting Standards, by guest speakers
Abdul Jabbar and Noamaan Yunus from Price Waterhouse
Coopers (PWC), a multinational professional services network.
