XIII Cbonds Fixed Income Conference

The XIII Cbonds Fixed Income Conference 2026 in Dubai will bring together investors, asset managers, issuers, regulators, banks, brokers and other financial market professionals to discuss the forces transforming fixed income and related asset classes. The programme will combine a global perspective with a strong focus on emerging markets and the Middle East, examining how macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical fragmentation, regulatory developments and technological innovation are shaping investment decisions.

The conference will cover four main themes:
1. Global Macroeconomics and Emerging Markets, including international and local currency bonds, changing monetary and fiscal policies, currency risks and new sources of value across emerging and frontier markets;

2. MENA and Islamic Capital Markets, focusing on sukuk development, harmonisation of market standards and Saudi Arabia’s efforts to attract foreign institutional investors;

3. Portfolio Management and the Future of Financial Markets, exploring the use of specialised data and analytical tools, the evolving needs of asset managers and the long-term impact of AI and financial technology; and

4. Opportunities Beyond Traditional Bonds, covering private equity, pre-IPO and IPO investments and their potential role in bond-focused and multi-asset portfolios.

The conference will also feature panel discussions, Q&A sessions and networking opportunities, enabling participants to exchange investment ideas, gain practical market insights and build relationships with decision-makers from across the international financial community.
