PC enters Dubai

Budapest-based think tank Political Capital announced the launch of its Middle East branch last Thursday (Oct 2). The new subsidiary will provide in-depth political and macroeconomic analyses and risk forecasts on the Gulf countries. The company has set up a team within its Risk Forecast Division, which is led by Senior Analyst Ghanem Nuseibeh in Dubai.
Political Capital set up its Risk Forecast Division (RFD) four years ago to prepare in-depth political, policy analyses and risk forecasts for foreign investors. RFD initially focused on Hungary. After the opening of Political Capital Bulgaria, RFD expanded to Central Eastern Europe, covering Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia.
Early 2008 the management of Political Capital decided to expand to other regions in the world. The launch of the Middle East team is the first result of the new expansion strategy. The Middle East team is led by Senior Analyst Mr. Ghanem Nuseibeh who lives in Dubai. Political Capital covers seven countries in the Gulf region: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Yemen.
