ICAI Bahrain Chapter organises successful ‘Money Matters' forum
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Bahrain Chapter successfully hosted a highly engaging session on 'Money Matters' on February 15, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Bahrain.
The event convened over 120 finance professionals for a dynamic forum focused on wealth creation, market trends, and strategic investment approaches.
Esteemed speakers, Mr. Anand Rathi, Chairman of the Anand Rathi Group, and Mr. Ankur Mittal, Co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures, provided invaluable perspectives and actionable insights.
Key Technical Highlights:
Macroeconomic Levers for Economic Acceleration: Session underscored macroeconomic factors as primary growth catalysts. India's demographic dividend, coupled with strategic inflation and interest rate management, are pivotal for sustained expansion. Resilient Indian economy, recognized as the fastest-growing major globally, is propelled by robust public and private CapEx, further enhanced by regulatory reforms and strategic development policies.
Objectives
Disciplined Wealth Creation Framework Imperative: Advocated for a structured wealth accumulation approach: Define objectives, strategize meticulously, and implement rigorous progress monitoring. Optimal asset allocation and a constructive market outlook are crucial for long-term investors. Indian markets projected for substantial index appreciation in the medium-term.
Startup Ecosystem: HighYield Investment Frontier: Startup investments present compelling return potential, balanced with considerations of ticket size, mortality rates, and inherent risk profiles. Strategic entry into India's burgeoning startup landscape offers opportunities for superior Internal Rates of Return (IRRs).
The 'Money Matters' session proved to be an exceptional platform for finance professionals to gain practical investment strategies and valuable market foresight directly from industry leaders.
