The political uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia have catalysed a phenomenal change in the political dynamics in Middle East & North Africa (MENA). As growing sentiments for political change sweep across countries such as Libya, Tunisia, Lebanon and Bahrain, what are the economic realities and implications of these developments for businesses? How will the current political upheaval affect the short and long term market outlook for the region and the greater global economy?

SBF’s Middle East Business Group (MEBG) is pleased to present this update seminar where invited business and thought leaders will give an update on the current economic and political situation in MENA. The seminar will relate the political impact on businesses and address key questions that businesses may have with respect to this market: Is economic growth going to slow down in MENA? What is the impact of the long term growth opportunities in this region? Are there any identifiable new opportunities in these times of turbulence? Key speakers and business leaders will discuss the challenges and implications related to the operating business environment in the region and give an assessment of the viability of doing businesses amid these concerns.

Who should attend?
Businesses with presence in MENA or those with interest in the region are welcome to attend the seminar and network with the business and thought leaders present.
