Gulf countries should remain cautiously optimistic about their growth trends – The National

Last month, the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Annual Meeting was held in person after a gap of two years. The highly anticipated event, which had been put on hold due to restrictions resulting from the pandemic, brought together business leaders from around the globe. I was honoured to attend in capacity as executive chairman of Investcorp.

One of the highlights of this year’s forum was visiting the pavilion hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s foundation (Misk), or the Youth Majlis. It was truly inspiring to witness distinguished Saudi men and women showcase their talents internationally and engage in conversations pertaining to the growth and prosperity of their country, as well as delving into discussions with their peers from around the globe.
