Leaders— AL ROUAD ROUNDTABLE—11:14am

Benefit for the UAE is few companies trade on the stock exchange! So is there a lesson here? Telecom sector  is least impacted by the global downturn because it is innovative and people need to communicate! Again a lot of food for thought!

Leaders— AL ROUAD ROUNDTABLE—10:32am

From the start Saudi Arabian banking is being cheered because of the extreme oversight and the fact that there has been a constant eye on the process. 120% of deposits in Saudi Banks are deployed domestically. External segment of the balance sheet is below 11%. Exposure is small. Consumer debt is small?  Hmmm… this is [...]

Leaders–role of government by Gupta—10:20am

Interesting that Rajat Gupta does not think that governments can really create change themselves. BUT maybe a government can create an environment in which business ( I suspect) and others can make or provoke change. But why should we not trust government? At the least government is concerned with a population rooted in one place. [...]

Leaders— Rajat Gupta— 9:15am

OK Rajat is at the heart of what is happening financially… what can he say to us to ease over the fear? What I would love to see is these speakers talking to us not reading. Adaptation to sudden change is the challenge! Resilience is the challenge for all. Webs of interconnections are what will [...]

Leaders in Dubai 9:02am

It started with a replay of the “YES WE CAN” quote from Obama and a framing of the state of the world. HARD TIMES CREATE THE BEST LEADERS? The purpose is to LEARN and find SOLUTIONS. The goal is to understand how to manage better and take advantage of the world we live in. My [...]

Leaders in Dubai 8:58am

The hall is a buzz. We are waiting for H.E. Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman to open the event and Rajat Gupta. What will we learn about the financial situation in Dubai? Are people here to learn or to get away from home?
