The presentation titled “MENA in 2017 4Ts of Transition, Transformation, Turmoil & Tribulations” was given to the Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB)’s Annual conference held in Abu Dhabi during 12-14 March 2017.
The focus of the session was on the macroeconomic environment in the Middle East and GCC region. After providing an insight into the macroeconomic fundamentals, socio-economic and geopolitical landscape in the region, the presentation moves on to analyse the economic policies and structural reforms undertaken as the GCC adjusts to the “New Oil Normal”. Given the audience, the next section focused on the opportunities and risk factors that form the outlook for MENA.
