News – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
By: Mohamed El Sherif
International financial institutions have recognized the research and academic contributions of Egyptian financial expert and researcher *Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud Amin Rehab by awarding him the “Excellence in Global Monetary Systems Innovation Research award, presented by The Global Economic as part of its Global Leadership Awards 2026.
This prestigious recognition honors Dr. Mohamed Rehab’s scientific contributions to restructuring the architecture of the global monetary system and proposing innovative mechanisms for cross-border trade settlement that support financial stability and strengthen global economic governance.
Two International Awards in One Year: An Innovative Monetary System from Theory to Application
With this latest achievement, Dr. Mohamed Rehab’s record now includes two international awards in 2026, reflecting the tangible impact of his scholarly work, which has evolved from academic research into a comprehensive monetary framework presenting a forward-looking vision for the future of the global economy.
The first award was announced in May 2026 by World Economic Magazine, which honored him with the title “Visionary Leader – Import & Export, Saudi Arabia 2026” in recognition of his outstanding institutional leadership and executive excellence.
The second award followed in July 2026, when The Global Economics included him among its distinguished honorees in Saudi Arabia and globally, alongside executives from leading international organizations. The significance of these two awards lies in the fact that they were conferred by two independent international institutions within the same year, highlighting the combination of executive leadership excellence and academic research innovation.
“Rehab Dual Monetary System (RDMS)”: An Innovative Framework for Enhancing Financial Stability
Dr. Mohamed Rehab’s scholarly work is built upon two developed theoretical frameworks published in peer-reviewed scientific publications and indexed in international academic bibliographies.
The first is the Rehab Dual Monetary System (RDMS), a two-layer quantitative framework proposing the coexistence of two distinct monetary layers:
First Layer:
National fiat currencies designated exclusively for domestic economic activities and local markets.
Second Layer:
A neutral international trade currency based on a points system, used exclusively for cross-border transactions and settlements and issued by an independent global monetary authority.
This structural separation aims to reduce the transmission of imported inflation across borders, mitigate exchange rate volatility, and preserve each nation’s full monetary sovereignty.
“Global Points-Based Monetary System (GPBMS)”: A Structural Solution to Emerging Market Imbalances
The second framework is the Global Points-Based Monetary System (GPBMS), which introduces a model for currency valuation and international trade settlement through a neutral global trade currency (GTC).
The framework addresses structural imbalances arising from the global economy’s reliance on a limited number of national currencies to simultaneously perform both domestic and international monetary functions.
Emerging markets and developing economies are expected to benefit the most from this proposal, given their high exposure to fluctuations in global reserve currencies and the spillover effects of interest rate policies in major economies. Both frameworks provide a long-term structural solution that goes beyond conventional short-term hedging tools by promoting greater stability in international trade transactions, improving the efficiency of import and export activities, and facilitating cross-border trade and investment flows.
