MIDDLE EAST

A region that has seen dramatic changes in the last generation of political leadership, the Middle East remains a key investment destination for our clients. Despite protracted conflicts, the rise of new cross-border extremist groups and lower oil prices, Frank Partners has used its experience and expertise in the region to help clients understand the risks they face and still be able to take advantage of the economic opportunities.

FP addresses the concerns of multinational corporations, banks and other institutional investors who have long been present in the region or who have just entered the market.

Some have recently found their interests threatened by political instability or questions over the reputation and integrity of their business partners or agents; while others have found it difficult to identify the real stakeholders and gatekeepers of resources required to operate on the ground. FP's team comprises Arabic speakers from the Gulf and North Africa, experts who have had decades of experience working in the region, and crucially, who understand the business climate and cultural context of familial political rule and the related business elite. This is confirmed and complemented by the insight provided by local on the ground sources. Contact Jakob
