Middle East and North Africa Outlook: Facing Diverse Challenges
The global commodity shocks of the last few years have affected countries in the region differently. Energy exporters have benefited while commodity importers, have suffered. Energy exporters have enjoyed robust growth and while oil markets are still a major focus for these countries, the agenda to diversify away from oil dependency has become increasingly important. Commodity importers, on the other hand, have faced significant challenges. Most notable of these countries is Egypt which has been struggling for a while to deal with its macroeconomic imbalances and is likely to continue to do so for some time.
Join our webinar to hear more insights into the opportunities and challenges facing this diverse region. We will discuss:
- Range-bound oil prices: Despite an eventful year for oil markets, including a conflict in the Middle East, oil prices have maintained relative stability. Will this continue?
- FDI in the spotlight: The GCC economies' are trying to diversify their economies and foreign investment is pouring in. What has been the outcome so far?
- Navigating through crisis: Egypt appears to have secured funds to manage its current crisis, but are there further challenges?
