Dr. Nasser Saidi presented to a delegation of MBA Health students from the UCL Global Business School for Health on 4th January 2025.
The presentation titled “GCC-UAE: Growth & Transformation” provided an insight into the disparities within the MENA region (related to income, wealth and resources) in the backdrop of the current and changing economic, geo-political landscape before delving into the common characteristics of the GCC countries (young, growing population, large expatriate segment & labour linkages, sovereign wealth funds and climate stress among others). The discussion also centred around the strategies and policies of the GCC nations, with a special focus on how the UAE macroeconomic picture has evolved overtime.
