Will the economies of the region leverage the opportunity from increased liquidity to invest in new jobs, nurturing key sectors for sustainable growth? This chapter argues that financing entrepreneurship is a promising route, and highlights the opportunities and challenges. </description><pubDate>Tue, 08 May 2012 13:47:00 GMT</pubDate><source url="http://www.zawya.com">Arabia Monitor </source><guid isPermaLink="false">pdf_080512135142</guid><category>Subscription</category></item><item><title>Limited monetary policy flexibility curbs MENA sovereign credit ratings, says S&amp;P </title><link>http://www.zawya.com/story/Limited_monetary_policy_flexibility_curbs_MENA_sovereign_credit_ratings_says_SP-ZAWYA20120508041403/</link><description>Standard &amp; Poor&apos;s Ratings Services rates 13 sovereigns in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, all with high political risks and limited monetary policy flexibility that constrain the sovereign credit ratings.</description><pubDate>Tue, 08 May 2012 08:03:30 GMT</pubDate><source url="http://www.zawya.com">The Saudi Gazette </source><guid isPermaLink="false">ZAWYA20120508041403</guid><category>Open</category></item><item><title>Arabia Monitor: Entrepreneurial Finance for Job Creation in the Arab Word - Strategy Elements Urgent as Ever (2011)</title><link>http://www.zawya.com/story/Arabia_Monitor_Entrepreneurial_Finance_for_Job_Creation_in_the_Arab_Word__Strategy_Elements_Urgent_as_Ever_2011-pdf_080512134210/</link><description>The challenge today for the economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries is to leverage the opportunity from increased liquidity, invest in new job creation, and nurture key sectors for diversified and sustainable growth. The MENA region must create the institutional infrastructure appropriate for the development of entrepreneurship, especially financial legislation. MENA must promote the creation of parallel educational programs to cultivate entrepreneurial skills at all levels of a given economy, including the non-governmental sector. </description><pubDate>Sun, 08 May 2011 13:33:00 GMT</pubDate><source url="http://www.zawya.com">Arabia Monitor </source><guid isPermaLink="false">pdf_080512134210</guid><category>Subscription</category></item><item><title>Arabia Monitor: MENA Outlook - Reflecting on a Decade- Time to Turn a Page (Q1-11)</title><link>http://www.zawya.com/story/Arabia_Monitor_MENA_Outlook__Reflecting_on_a_Decade_Time_to_Turn_a_Page_Q111-pdf_080512131447/</link><description>The MENA Outlook is a comprehensive publication covering macroeconomic, market and geopolitical analysis of the MENA region, laid out in a concise bullet point format. The publication presents Arabia Monitor’s insights on global markets, moves on to cover regional issues, and then focuses on individual country macroeconomic studies. Our forward looking perspective allows us to place recent developments in the region within a broader context and a long-term view. We combine bottom-up with top-down research methods to understand the new economic and political paradigm unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa region, and deliver unique strategy insights and forecasts to businesses across a wide range of sectors. Each publication features a special interview with regional leaders including central bank governors, ministers and executives. Challenges are emerging, but the past decade has given the region a good base on which to build. Political action will be more intensely scrutinized, and publicly debated, and equitable governance will loom larger as new social media expose Arab governments and empower the Arab street in ways hitherto unseen. </description><pubDate>Sat, 08 Jan 2011 12:59:00 GMT</pubDate><source url="http://www.zawya.com">Arabia Monitor </source><guid isPermaLink="false">pdf_080512131447</guid><category>Subscription</category></item><item><title>Arabia Monitor: MENA Outlook - Growth, Despite Liquidity Woes - 4Q 2010</title><link>http://www.zawya.com/story/Arabia_Monitor_MENA_Outlook__Growth_Despite_Liquidity_Woes__4Q_2010-pdf_080512130621/</link><description>The MENA Outlook is a comprehensive publication covering macroeconomic, market and geopolitical analysis of the MENA region, laid out in a concise bullet point format.

MENA and GCC real GDP continue to outpace global growth in Q4 2010 and in 2011. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are undergoing economic. Corporates &amp;amp; quasi-sovereigns will move towards debt issuances and rely less on banks.
