She explained that the CMA is focused on creating a forward-looking regulatory environment that enables responsible experimentation, allowing new fintech solutions to be tested while ensuring stability and investor protection.
As the discussion turned to sector opportunities, Ahmad emphasized that investors are becoming more selective and thematic in their approach.
