LATEST ECONOMIC BRIEFINGS
EMIRATES: ABU DHABI | 02.09.2010
Regulations enforcing higher capital standards in the UAE’s overcrowded insurance market have reduced the amount of insurance brokers, while slower growth in commercial business means the sector is looking to opportunities in the retail segment.

BAHRAIN | 30.08.2010
Bahrain is working hard to bolster its medical services, investing in new facilities and looking to increase the number of trained health professionals, though a rapidly growing population and an increase in lifestyle-related illnesses will continue to add to the demands placed on the nation’s health care resources.

BULGARIA | 30.08.2010
Prospective investors took note when it was announced in late July 2010 that Bulgaria’s largest steelmaker, Kremikovtzi, will be up for sale in mid-September 2010. The news comes four months after the company went into liquidation and a year after major creditors refused to approve a rescue plan for the ailing company.

EGYPT | 30.08.2010
The Egyptian Exchange 30 (EGX30), Cairo’s main stock market index, has had something of a volatile year in 2010, as it rallied through the first quarter, declined through much of the second and began to stage a moderate recovery in the third.

KUWAIT | 30.08.2010
Despite its relatively small population, Kuwait is firmly placed among the world’s most attractive and popular markets for international retail franchises. With a strong consumer and shopping culture and a young, growing and affluent population with an affinity for international brands, Kuwait offers an attractive market for leading retailers seeking to expand their footprint.
