iFX EXPO 2026 Final Day Sessions Continue

Following a busy opening day marked by discussions, networking, and deal-making, activity has resumed across both the Speaker Hall and the Mastery Hub.

Athlete Mindset Drives Business Success Growth

The session titled “Built Like an Athlete: Surviving Dubai’s Business Rollercoaster on the Road to the Top 1%” featured Tarik Chebib, MENA CEO at Capital.com.

The discussion focused on the demands of building and scaling a business in Dubai’s highly competitive environment, where continuous performance and adaptability are key to sustaining growth.

Chebib reflected on how principles drawn from sport — including discipline, preparation, and consistency — have shaped his approach to leadership and decision-making.

The session drew parallels between elite athletic performance and business resilience, highlighting how structured training and mindset can translate into navigating competitive markets and sustained professional development.

Geopolitics, Inflation Drive Economic Outlook Discussion

The Executive Interview titled “The Macro Shock Era: What’s Next For The Global Economy” brought together Darius Anucauskas, Chief Market Analyst at Markets.com, and Michalis Persianis, Chairman of the Fiscal Council of Cyprus.

The discussion focused on how ongoing geopolitical tensions are reshaping the global economic outlook, with particular attention to implications for growth, inflation, and international trade.

The conversation also examined how major central banks could respond over the upcoming policy cycle, alongside potential risks to global trade flows and consumer stability.

The speakers further considered how these macroeconomic pressures may transmit to smaller open economies, before turning to Cyprus and assessing its economic resilience, structural strengths, and key vulnerabilities in the current global environment.
