Senior financial leaders from Citi, State Street, Capital Group, and Carlyle, alongside representatives from the Saudi Capital Market Authority, analyzed the current market's high US valuations, the structural dominance of American capital markets, and the accelerating shift toward private assets. The panel highlighted massive capital mobilization needs for AI infrastructure and energy transitions while warning of systemic risks in private credit and the complexities of regulatory arbitrage. Looking ahead, the experts forecast a five-year return of trillions in cash to markets, the democratization of private equity, and the strategic integration of artificial intelligence into global financial infrastructure.
