Dear aaddaam

In my personal view from US/Canadian job market, FRM is a good designation, but so far as a complementary designation i.e. the designation which increases value of some base designation like CFA. So far, I haven't seen recognizable number of job postings in Canada/USA which require FRM alone, though many people study FRM here and many job postings require FRM along some other designations. However, I got no chance to evaluate FRM in Pakistani or Middle Eastern markets.

No doubt... no one can deny from importance of risk management in today's competitive business world.

I hope it helps.

Regards

So in other words CFA+FRM good? but how much good is it? and Do you really think FRM is better than PRM?

Guys What about Gulf markets? Do they have any demand for risk professionals e.g. FRM's?

FRM is more renowned.

FRM making its market in Gulf as well.
Considering the current situation I think its demand will increase in future.
