The Gulf states account for nearly a half of the world’s oil
reserves and some $3 trillion in foreign reserves and sovereign
wealth funds. Sitting at the heart of a region that links the
emerging markets of China and India with Western economies,
the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) states have become a
centre for global investment.
From Islamic finance to construction, the Gulf region is
home to innovation and enterprise, which is now underpinning
hundreds of billions of dollars-worth of projects.
The Gulf is an established, authoritative regional magazine
that goes to the heart of GCC business and current affairs,
containing news, analysis, expert opinion and reviews as well
as reliable economic data. The Gulf is an essential tool for
anyone doing business in the
Middle East.
Based on content prepared
by experts in their fields, The Gulf combines a monthly print
publication with an online service that offers insight into key
markets such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai and
the factors that affect all six GCC economies.
News from 20 market sectors, ranging from energy to
capital markets to Islamic banking to aviation, is supported
by analysis of business trends and topical trends - presented
in comprehensive Special Reports which form an essential
reference point for those interested in one of the world’s most
economically vibrant regions.
