The fourth International Conference for Francophone Investors (“FIEF”) was held in the Dead Sea in Jordan, under the patronage of His Majesty, King Abdullah II of Jordan
Over 300 business and political leaders attended the event, including several ministers, top government executives, investors and CEOs.
H.E. Kholoud Al Saqqaf, the Jordanian Minister of Investment delivered a speech during the opening session. She recalled the strong historical ties between France, French-speaking countries and Jordan. She also described the new opportunities offered to foreign investors in the Kingdom.
Over 50 speakers gave their analysis and shared their experience in various fields such as energy, investments, tourism, entrepreneurship, women empowerment and international trade.
A session was dedicated to the strategy of Investment funds in the Middle East. Among the speakers, Houssam Nasrawin, Managing Partner of the Paris based advisory firm Orous Capital, underlined the major role played by institutional investors from the GCC, and mainly the Sovereign Wealth Funds (‘’SWFs’’) and Pension funds, to invest in foreign markets.
Despite 2021 and 2022 having been challenging years due to geopolitical issues, increase of interest rates and high inflation, the GCC SWFs have played a major role in the financing of European and North American markets, driven by the capital injections from high oil revenues. The investment amounts in Western economies has doubled between 2021 and 2022, reaching above 50 bn USD.
The session was followed by an overview of the ecosystem of family offices in the GCC, emphasizing the challenges that they will face in the coming years, mainly in terms of succession and new economic slowdown. The role of family offices will increase in investments in private equity, which now represents a significant part of their portfolio allocation. According to Houssam Nasrawin, there is a need for stronger ties between GCC Family Offices and European entities, including companies and Private Equity firms (GPs) to provide access to new capital.
The conference was closed with the signing of an MOU between the French union of employers CPME Nationale and the Jordanian Businessmen Association.
B2B meetings were held in the days after between companies.

Children today are very different from how it used to be two to three decades back. Today’s children are in some ways, adults themselves with them being connected to the world with the advancement of technology and the growing culture across the world. Even their relationships with their parents are constantly evolving…reports Asian Lite News
Actress Nimrat Kaur, who essays the role of a student counsellor in the upcoming streaming series ‘School of Lies’, feels that parents need to be extremely careful with how they conduct themselves around their kids as kids today are fast learners and the behaviour of parents leaves a fine imprint on the kids in their formative years.
Wrapped in the intense mystery of a missing child, ‘School of Lies’ showcases the journey of teenagers in a boarding school.
Talking about how the dynamics between parents and their child are changing, Nimrat told, “Young kids nowadays have a mind of their own, they want to make their own choices and are so ahead of everything all the time. Parents have to be very careful with how they conduct themselves around their kids. I think growing up, things were much simpler for us, especially the fact that the internet hadn’t happened to the world – we didn’t have smartphones or access to anything other than our own minds. So, growing up, there was a bigger distance between us and our parents.”
Children today are very different from how it used to be two to three decades back. Today’s children are in some ways, adults themselves with them being connected to the world with the advancement of technology and the growing culture across the world. Even their relationships with their parents are constantly evolving.
She further mentioned, “It was almost like they were adults and we were not supposed to have an opinion about things that didn’t concern us. The one difference I see very majorly today is that children and their opinions are sought for absolutely everything. They have a take and a say in everything. That is something very different. I think it was less of a friendship growing up with the parents, more of looking up to emulating, wanting to be disciplined, those were the kinds of relationships we had. That being said, I enjoyed it as a child and as a teenager in my days.”

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is receiving a lot of positive response for her streaming debut in ‘Dahaad’, shared her favourite moment from the series.
In the crime series, Sonakshi essays the role of a cop, Anjali Bhaati who comes from a lower caste and has been facing discrimination since her childhood.
Speaking about her favourite scene from the series, Sonakshi said: “My favourite scene is the one where we go to raid Anand’s father’s house and he does not let Anjali enter because he says that she’s from a lower caste and he won’t allow such people into the house. The way that scene was written – the dialogue was so powerful, it was really moving. It was really empowering for me as an actor to be able to say those lines and stand up for myself.”
She further mentioned: “I could feel the power of that one single line in my bones which said ‘This is not your pushto ka time. It’s Kayda-Kanun ka time, Samvidhan ka time (This is not the time of your ancestors, today things are judged and decided as per the law and Constitution). And as a cop, the Constitution has given me the right to enter your house. And if you try and stop me, I’ll put a case on you for trying to stop my investigation.’ So I think those were truly very powerful words written and the writers have done a fantastic job. And as an actor, for me, to execute it was extremely special.”
Directed by Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi, ‘Dahaad’ is produced by Excel Media and Entertainment and Tiger Baby. The series is streaming on Prime Video.
