A Geo-Eco-Political Outlook“, the presentation covered the regional geo-economic & political outlook, while also shedding light on the key risks (including the oil market). It looks in-depth at the performance of the GCC, its diversification policies, also outlining the steps needed to support private sector businesses and activity.
The presentation ends with a “bucket list” for economic policy and reform for the GCC, while providing a best, base, and worst case scenario for the region.
