THE GULF STATES are among the fastest growing economies in the world. They account for nearly a half of the world’s oil reserves and some $3 trillion in foreign reserves and sovereign wealth funds. Sitting at the heart of a region that links the emerging markets of China and India with the established economies of the West, the states that make up the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) have become a centre for global investment. From Islamic finance to construction, the Gulf is home to innovation and enterprise. As the economies of the western world slow down, the Middle East is also one of the few regions where the pace of growth remains brisk.

There is now an established magazine based in the region that goes to the heart of business and current affairs in the GCC. Containing news, analysis, expert opinion and reviews as well as reliable economic data. The Gulf is an essential tool for anyone doing business in the Middle East. Written by experts in their fields, The Gulf combines a monthly publication with an online service that offers insight into key markets such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the fast-growing emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. News from 20 market sectors, ranging from energy to capital markets, is supported by analysis of business trends and topical issues. Each month The Gulf produces special reports on industries that are key to the region, together with surveys that form an essential reference for those interested in one of the most vibrant regions of the world.
