Our Objectives
Arab Investor aims to offer insight, analysis and services that are valued by its customers, with a focus on:
• Filling the information gap
The Arab business world is still an enigma to many investors worldwide, long noted for its lack of transparency, limited access to information, and insufficient awareness on policy and regulatory regimes. Arab Investor is intended to become the primary, comprehensive source of information on business opportunities in frontier and emerging markets, as well as current and future political and investment risks in MENA, making information more attainable for investors.
• Informing strategic investment decisions
Arab Investor informs readers of the Arab business world and facilitates strategic
decision-making. Latest business insights are conveyed through interviews and reports by leading decision makers, business commentators and officials.
• Building stronger liaisons between the Western and the Arab Business World
While MENA offers significant growth prospects across various industries, information
scarcity is considered one of the most significant barriers to FDI. Arab Investor, particularly through its bilingual (Arab and English) online platform (www.arabinvestor.ae) monitor MENA market and economic developments key to informing Western investors entrance into the potent emerging and frontier markets of the region.
• Cultivating & promoting investment in the Arab World
While a vibrant political environment may have elevated the risk perception on foreign
investments, MENA has now reached new heights of attractiveness as an FDI destination.
The Arab world has demonstrated a remarkable potential for growth, including
a significant, untapped resource base. Arab Investor champions the tremendous
opportunities for investment in Middle East’s long-term viability. It cultivates and
promotes investment in a region that has committed to providing sustainable business
