B2PRIME Group, a global financial services provider for institutional and professional clients, hosted its exclusive B2MEET event in Limassol, Cyprus. The gathering brought together financial professionals for a closed-door evening of deep insights, peer exchange, and strategic dialogue.

At the heart of the evening was keynote speaker Azad Zangana, independent global economist and former senior strategist at Schroders. His macroeconomic briefing struck a chord with the audience especially his take on gold as a top trade ahead of the U.S. elections. While market expectations pointed to a strong performance, gold’s surprising underperformance in November sparked thoughtful debate among attendees, highlighting the growing gap between macro fundamentals and actual investor behavior.

Azad’s insights also touched on rising protectionism, labor shortages, and the shifting global role of the U.S. dollar. He emphasized that while the dollar remains the dominant global reserve currency, questions about its long-term status are resurfacing. However, no viable alternative has yet emerged: the euro struggles with liquidity issues, and the Chinese yuan remains constrained by capital controls.
Another major highlight of the evening was the panel discussion, in which Azad sat down with members of the B2PRIME team John Murillo, Stuart Brock, and Fernando Wladdimiro to discuss the ongoing technology arms race in trading. Speakers agreed that the competitive edge has shifted from pricing strategies to execution speed and infrastructure.

In today’s environment, ultra-low latency is no longer a differentiator — it’s a baseline expectation. As younger market participants demand faster, smarter platforms, performance and innovation are no longer optional.
“Conversations like these are what B2MEET is all about,” said Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder & Executive Director of B2PRIME Group. “We believe in creating spaces where professionals can speak freely about what truly matters — spaces that are exclusive not because of who attends, but because of the intellectual value shared.”
In the wake of the Cyprus event’s success, the B2MEET series now looks ahead to its next editions in London and Dubai — continuing the mission to unite financial leaders through insight-rich, private forums.
