Middle East

For over 50 years the Middle East has been a cockpit of regional conflict, revolutionary fervour, and religious extremism, set against a backdrop of increasing economic wealth. A phenomenal increase in oil revenues has given the region, and particularly the Gulf rulers, enormous economic power and influence. Growing income disparities and Islamic fundamentalism still threaten the stability of some regimes.

Reflecting the expertise of our founding directors, Menas worked exclusively on the Middle East and North Africa until 1988. It remains a core area for the company, and our current directors have decades of experience in advising multinational companies, banks, and financial institutions both in and on the region.
