It is a time of perhaps unprecedented economic opportunities and challenges for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). If the economies of the MENA region decisively harness the opportunities that have been created by the Arab Spring, they will potentially pave the way for a new phase of vibrant economic expansion led by a young, dynamic and aspirant private sector.
Signs so far show that MENA is seizing those opportunities. Economic activity has shown high growth rates since the onset of the global financial crisis which is supported by accelerated government spending and large-scale infrastructure investment. The economies of the broader MENA region also have low levels of debt compared with Europe, Japan and the US. However,
there are still structural weaknesses that have to be addressed.
The book is divided into seven parts:
Part 1 - Powering the global recovery.
Part 2 - Regional financial hubs as catalysts for growth.
Part 3 - Regional capital markets.
Part 4 - MENA mergers and acquisitions, project finance and infrastructure
investments.
Part 5 - MENA wealth management.
Part 6 - MENA Islamic banking and finance.
Part 7 - MENA telecommunications and energy.
