Bermuda’s Ministry of Finance published a recap of Premier David Burt’s engagements at the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai, where he participated in high-level sessions on artificial intelligence, the future of investment and international partnerships, including discussion of financial system risk management. A closed-door roundtable on “Leveraging AI and Enhancing Countries’ Preparedness” brought together participants including International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Secretary-General Mathias Cormann, and examined AI adoption across productive sectors, policy priorities for innovation, labour market impacts and financial system risk management. The Summit’s “Future of Investment” roundtable focused on “intelligent capital” and the use of data, AI and advanced analytics in investment decision-making, risk management and market access, with Burt positioning Bermuda as a testing ground for responsible financial innovation. Separately, Burt and Minister Hayward met the United Arab Emirates Minister of Economy and Tourism Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri to discuss economic cooperation, investment and innovation, and Burt’s fireside chat on partnerships in a multipolar system highlighted Bermuda’s diversification priorities, including deeper engagement within CARICOM and expanded links with Africa and the Middle East, anchored by trust and high regulatory standards.
