Saudi Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Inaugurates the First-Ever Global Labor Market Conference
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — H.E. Ahmad bin Sulaiman Al-Rajhi, Minister of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia inaugurated the first-ever Global Labor Market Conference (GLMC) at the King Abdulaziz International Convention Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The opening ceremony, president over by H.E Minister Al-Rajhi, was witnessed by an audience of over 6,000 participants and attendees, hailing from over 40 countries. Included among the audience were high-ranking ministers from Saudi Arabia, policymakers, leaders of multinational organizations, heads of business, academics, and representatives of labor.
Minister’s Welcome
In his opening address H.E. Minister Al-Rajhi highlighted Saudi Arabia’s role in pioneering efforts that bolster international labor markets, allowing them to keep pace with frequent changes. He continued to highlight that dynamics of the labor market today are altogether different from those witnessed prior, including an increased demand for skills required by future jobs, new professions, and the changing nature of the global workforce.
H.E. Minister Al-Rajhi shared a number of statistics emphasizing the gravity of ongoing labor market dynamics, both related to emerging technology, such as the expectation that artificial intelligence technologies will create 133 million new jobs by 2030, as well as those related to changing worker preferences, such as the approximately 22 million people in the United States that now work full-time from their homes. Given these factors, H.E. Minister Al-Rajhi implored the audience that efforts be taken to ensure new technologies are implemented to maximize value for the global economy, build work environments free of exploitation, and avoid widespread sudden job loss.
The minister’s address surveyed Saudi Arabia’s local labor market, characterizing it as one of the world’s most diverse, with an established status as a preferred destination for some of the global community’s brightest minds and top talents. He highlighted how this includes local talent as well, particularly young Saudis who have achieved high levels of preparation and education. He stressed the talents of this cohort have motivated the Kingdom to create private sector-led work environments that meet the needs of the Saudi people.
Bridging the local with the global, H.E. Minister Al-Rajhi emphasized Saudi Arabia’s keenness to cooperate with international partners in order to strengthen resiliency in light of past international crises that demonstrated the need for a unified approach. He added that only by cooperating can the global community leverage global labor market dynamics to bring about positive change on a global scale.
The opening ceremony made way for the start of the two-day conference, during which approximately 150 experts will participate in over 40 unique keynote addresses, panel presentations, and breakout sessions focused on the current challenges and future changes facing labor markets. The sessions are organized across eight key tracks: Global Labor Market Catalysts, Skills & Productivity Conundrums, Labor Market Makeovers, Work for All, AI Needs People?, Labor Market Re-engineered, The Right Way to (De)Regulate, and The Future Proofed Organization.
Ministerial Roundtable
The morning’s events were immediately preceded by a ministerial roundtable discussion, during which H.E. Minister Al-Rajhi received minister-level labor officials from over 24 countries. During the session, participants discussed the most pressing opportunities and changes facing labor markets, and considered joint efforts that can be undertaken to address these challenges.
During the roundtable, H.E. Minister Al-Rajhi stressed that the current stage of the global labor market’s evolution necessitates international solidarity, cooperation, and exchange in order to effectively respond to rapid, unprecedented changes related to workplace practices, emerging technologies, and geopolitical circumstances. Addressing the ministers, he characterized the inaugural GLMC as an apt opportunity to engage in this knowledge exchange and dialogue in order to formulate policies that lay a foundation for work environments that are resilient to ongoing and future challenges.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce it’s among the first to be granted consent to a full authorization by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA). This milestone brings Bybit closer to becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF).
As part of a rigorous process, Bybit Kazakhstan has passed a full AML check, business conduct audit, and detailed compliance inspections. This is part of Bybit’s focus on securing new user opportunities in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“Kazakhstan has become a key player in the global crypto ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be expanding our services in such a dynamic market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are committed to bringing our cutting-edge technology, security, and transparency to crypto traders in Kazakhstan, ensuring they can access the best possible tools and services to thrive in this fast-growing industry.”
Once the full license is in place, Bybit Kazakhstan will offer various digital assets related products and services. The expansion into Kazakhstan aligns with Bybit’s mission to provide reliable and transparent services, catering to the unique needs of crypto traders and investors in the region.
This development follows Bybit’s receipt of its initial operating and custody licenses from AFSA in June 2023, reinforcing its commitment to local regulatory requirements. Bybit’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan underscore its belief in responsible growth and ensuring a compliant and secure trading environment.
Kazakhstan has quickly emerged as a hub for crypto innovation, and Bybit is proud to play a leading role in fostering this development. For example, Bybit hosted a “Foundations of Blockchain, Web3 and Crypto Exchange Activities” course for Banks of Kazakhstan in 2024. This event was part of Bybit’s drive to make blockchain education more accessible in the CIS region.
By securing this full authorization, Bybit is poised to enhance crypto adoption, provide institutional-grade security, and offer advanced trading features to its growing regional user base.

Integrum ESG and CSRHub enable fund managers to monitor both long-term trends and short-term movements in ESG ratings for companies, across a 10-year time series
LONDON, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Integrum ESG, the leading alternative ESG data provider, has today announced the launch of their Consensus ESG Ratings module.
Just as investors monitor movements in consensus earnings estimates or credit ratings, investors now are aware of the demand for the ability to monitor long-term trends and short-term movements in consensus ESG ratings.
This new feature enables Integrum ESG’s asset manager clients to now see the consensus ESG score for any company, either as an absolute rating or a relative percentile ranking, across a 10-year time series.
These scores will indicate to any investor what the capital markets have ‘priced in’ for a company’s ESG performance, allowing users to quickly understand the market’s view on a company and easily conduct relative ESG analysis on the positions they hold within their Portfolio.
This regularly updated data is provided by CSRHub, the world’s leading provider of consensus ESG ratings. CSRHub has spent years aggregating and normalising a vast range of licensed sources – from large ESG ratings firms such as MSCI, ISS, S&P Global, and Sustainalytics to specialists such as CDP and Better World Companies.
Shai Hill, Founder and CEO of Integrum ESG, commented: “Many investors have told us they want a sense of ‘what is priced in’ in terms of a company’s ESG performance, so they can compare this to what anyone ESG ratings firm is saying. CSRHub is the only firm to have credibly achieved this, thanks to a model refined over years and a vast data lake – so we are delighted to be partnering with them.”
Bahar Gidwani, Co-Founder of CSRHub, added: “Investors need to fine tune their ESG-related investment strategies to improve their returns and better match the preferences of their clients. Combining CSRHub’s expert outside-in, consensus view of ESG with Integrum ESG’s detailed real-time data stream provides a strong solution for these needs.”

Their Platform allows clients to dissect ESG scores, real-time sentiment, and more with a variety of unique-to-market features, empowering industry professionals and investors and giving them complete oversight of ESG risk across their portfolio.
