B2PRIME Group, a global financialservices provider for institutional and professional clients, hosted itsexclusive B2MEET event in Limassol, Cyprus. The gathering brought togetherfinancial professionals for a closed-door evening of deep insights, peerexchange, and strategic dialogue.

At theheart of the evening was keynote speaker Azad Zangana, independent globaleconomist and former senior strategist at Schroders. His macroeconomic briefingstruck a chord with the audience — especially his take on gold as a top tradeahead of the U.S. elections. While market expectations pointed to a strongperformance, gold’s surprising underperformance in November sparked thoughtfuldebate among attendees, highlighting the growing gap between macro fundamentalsand actual investor behavior.

Azad'sinsights also touched on rising protectionism, labor shortages, and theshifting global role of the U.S. dollar. He emphasized that while the dollarremains the dominant global reserve currency, questions about its long-termstatus are resurfacing. However, no viable alternative has yet emerged: theeuro struggles with liquidity issues, and the Chinese yuan remains constrainedby capital controls.

Anothermajor highlight of the evening was the panel discussion, in which Azad sat downwith members of the B2PRIME team — John Murillo, Stuart Brock, and FernandoWladdimiro — to discuss the ongoing technology arms race in trading. Speakersagreed that the competitive edge has shifted from pricing strategies toexecution speed and infrastructure.

Intoday’s environment, ultra-low latency is no longer a differentiator — it’s abaseline expectation. As younger market participants demand faster, smarterplatforms, performance and innovation are no longer optional.

“Conversationslike these are what B2MEET is all about,” said Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder &Executive Director of B2PRIME Group. “We believe in creating spaces whereprofessionals can speak freely about what truly matters — spaces that areexclusive not because of who attends, but because of the intellectual valueshared.”

In thewake of the Cyprus event’s success, the B2MEET series now looks ahead to itsnext editions in London and Dubai — continuing the mission to unite financialleaders through insight-rich, private forums.
