Fintech, Digital Finance & the GCC: Navigating a New Era
The Gulf Cooperation Council is at the forefront of a sweeping financial transformation — driven by bold regulation, cutting-edge technology, and a clear vision for sustainable growth. This volume, originating from the Gulf Research Meeting (GRM) 2025 at the University of Cambridge, offers students and professionals a rigorous yet accessible window into that transformation.
Drawing on empirical research across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and beyond, the book examines the forces reshaping modern finance: open banking, digital literacy, financial inclusion, Shari'ah-compliant innovation, and smart contracts. Spanning economics, law, sustainability, and technology, it connects theory to real-world outcomes — showing how the GCC navigates cybersecurity threats and cross-border regulatory complexity while positioning itself as a global leader in digital, sustainable finance.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
