Capital Conversations | J.P. Morgan on Abu Dhabi’s growing role in global finance

Introducing Capital Conversations, a new ADGM series featuring perspectives from leaders across the ADGM community on the forces shaping finance, business and innovation. In our first episode, we speak with Tristan Attenborough, Senior Executive Officer, Payments at J.P. Morgan in ADGM. Drawing on his experience leading the firm’s payments business locally, Tristan shares why Abu Dhabi and ADGM are becoming increasingly central to global finance. He highlights the ease of doing business, the strength of the regulatory environment and the value of operating within an ecosystem shaped by pro business policy, digital maturity and long term planning. The conversation also explores how J.P. Morgan approaches technology, scale, security and client service globally and why a presence in Abu Dhabi matters as capital flows, trade patterns and currencies continue to evolve.
