In this presentation, Arif Naqvi - CEO of Abraaj Capital - gives an overview of the key market opportunities and developments for private equity in the Middle East. The Middle East region has grown exponentially over the last decade and recent policy initiatives are increasingly pointing towards deregulation of the financial sector and a real change in the way in which businesses and investors operate.
Arif Naqvi looks at issues such as why the majority of funds currently in the investing stage primarily do not have a sector focus and invest across the MENA region, examines examples of privatisations in recent years and considers the approximately 27 PE firms in the Middle East, primarily concentrated in the UAE.
