Business environments with increasingly stable regulatory and governance systems
Sustainability and ESG driven opportunities from non-oil sectors: travel and tourism, aerospace, healthcare and infrastructure
Private companies identifying exciting new niches in Tech, F&B and Entertainment
2022 expected to be a bumper year for deals on the back of recent profile bilateral trade and recent announcements:
