Saudi Arabia Postpones 'Davos in the Desert' Investment Conference Until 2027
Saudi Arabia has postponed its 10th Future Investment Initiative conference, known as "Davos in the Desert," until 2027 due to escalating regional tensions and recent deadly attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis. The event, which attracts global financiers and aims to support Saudi Arabia's economic diversification, was originally scheduled for October 26-29. Organizers cited safety concerns and the desire to maintain the event's high standards. The conflict has also disrupted other Gulf events earlier this year.
