"The investment climate and financial industry in general are facing a challenging time due to economic and political developments within the region; such factor press upon the board the necessity of going the extra mile in our risk management strategy across the organization," Al Sanousi said. "Despite such challenges, with the support of the board and the entire family within the Inovest Group, we hope to see Inovest reach much greater milestones."
