Description
Rare oasis of growth in a global economy on the brink of recession, the countries of the Gulf have leveraged hydrocarbon wealth to drive their economies forwards.

We analyse these opportunities and risks with two Coface experts: Seltem Iyigün, economist for Middle East and Turkey, and Hassen Bennour, CEO for the Middle East and Southern Africa.
