DMCC successfully held the ninth edition of its annual Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC) on 18th<\/sup> November at the Almas Conference Centre. Held under the theme of \u2018Disruption in the precious metals industry \u2013 technology, regulation and sustainability\u2019, the conference welcomed over 300 industry experts and professionals from leading organisations including the OECD, Dubai Exports, the World Gold Council, Morgan Stanley and ICBC Standard Bank. The speakers addressed key trends within the global precious metals industry and discussed how to harness current opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening address was delivered by His Excellency Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy, who said: \u201cGold and precious metals trading is one of the major contributors to the country\u2019s non-oil foreign trade, accounting for 29% of the total non-oil foreign trade exports. And on a global level, the UAE accounts for 11% of the total global gold exports and 65% of the Middle East\u2019s foreign trade in gold. The UAE has made great strides in this key sector with the development of legislation, policies, and regulations, in accordance with the best international practices, as part of its core goals to boost its competitiveness and leading position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special announcement was set forth by His Excellency Dr. Thani Bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, who stated: \u201cI am extremely honoured to announce the UAE Good Delivery at the ninth edition of the DPMC, which is set to establish nationwide standards based off of international best practice within the UAE\u2019s thriving gold sector. The UAE Good Delivery will certainly increase our global standing and strengthen our reputation as a world hub for gold trade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The much-anticipated conference was inaugurated by Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, who said: \u201cWith this year\u2019s edition of the DPMC being heavily oversubscribed, it is clear that Dubai remains the centre of the global gold industry. The stage has been set for the blockchain-enabled future of the gold industry as we tackle issues such as hand carried gold and the removal of mercury from the gold mining process.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most important takeaway from today\u2019s conference is that Dubai and the UAE continue to play an integral part in the global gold economy. We are honoured to have welcomed many of the industry\u2019s key decision makers this year. Those who were unable to attend this edition due to it being oversubscribed will not be disappointed next year, as DPMC 2022 will be held at the newly established Uptown Tower, capable of hosting over 1500 people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across three interactive panel discussions, the 2021 edition of the DPMC shed light on how technology such as blockchain is expected to impact the precious metals sector, the ever-changing global regulatory landscape, and how ESG impacts the bottom line of the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Saylor, known for his advocacy and adoption of crypto and blockchain technology, shared his insights about the relationship and interactions between gold and cryptocurrencies in a special keynote interview. The session, held under the title \u2018Gold versus Bitcoin: competition or coexistence?\u2019, highlighted bitcoin\u2019s growing status as \u2018digital gold\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his keynote interview, Michael Saylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MicroStrategy, said: \u201cGold historically represented a self-sovereign store of value that was more portable than many alternatives in its time. Today, we are seeing the rise of Bitcoin, which many see as a digital gold. Bitcoin was designed to perfect the promises of gold, being a truly scarce asset capped at 21 million coins that can move instantaneously across the world through millions of transactions per second.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With changes to the supply-demand dynamic of multiple metals, many signs are pointing towards a new commodities super cycle. The adoption of cutting-edge technology is also having a profound impact on the sector, with blockchain-enabled platforms increasing efficiencies across the entire precious metals supply chain. Simultaneously, regulation and an increased focus on ESG issues are positively changing the industry\u2019s landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DPMC 2021 underscored that businesses need to fully grasp these changes and actively engage with these conversations to not get left behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
