Abu dhabi: The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM hosted the 4th edition of the Global Financial Regulators Summit during Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) 2025, bringing together senior regulatory representatives from the MENA, European, and Asian regions. Several major players from the US industry were also invited to share their experiences and views.

According to Emirates News Agency, the Global Financial Regulators Summit has established itself as a premier international forum, gathering the world's leading financial regulators in an exclusive, closed-door setting. The Summit aims to facilitate high-level collaboration on regulatory innovation, emerging challenges, and evolving financial frameworks, with a strong focus on ensuring the resilience and integrity of global financial systems.

As the financial landscape continues to evolve with emerging trends and technologies, this year's assembly focused on the evolution of the private credit market globally. The rise of private credit has been a key topic of discussion, particularly in the context of the Non-Bank Financial Intermediation (NBFI) sector. Private credit funds have emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the global financial system.

The rapid growth of the market has attracted the attention and scrutiny of global regulators and market participants, especially concerning issues related to leverage, liquidity, interconnectedness, and the increasing retail appetite for products in this sector. Two roundtables at the Summit concentrated on recent market developments, associated risks, and strategies to address them.

The high-level deliberations from this exclusive Summit were later shared with public attendees of the Abu Dhabi Finance Week, ensuring that the insights and discussions reached a broader audience.
