5th GCC Economic Forum January 24, 2009

The GCC Economy is facing many challenges especially in view of the pressures of globalization and the changes in the world economy and also impact of the latest world financial crises on GCC economy and its future . In order to achieve stable economic environments, regional economies need to streamline and optimize their existing business and economic relationships. It is true that the rising price of oil has made these countries financially stronger, but it might not always be the case, the price of oil may fall and also it added another magnitude to the economic and business challenges they face.

The 5th GCC Economic Forum addresses these challenges and the need to share ideas on the impact of the latest world financial crises on GCC economy and its future, successful economic practices, better trade policies, and financial and banking systems that create a sound platform for robust business and economic relations among the region's economies. This forum is an ideal business and economic knowledge-sharing and networking platform for government and business decision-makers and professionals from the GCC, as well as those from other parts of the world who are interested in doing business with the GCC.

The forum assumes special significance in the current scenario in which the GCC Countries are looking forward to creating and encouraging increased business, economic, and knowledge exchanges between them. Joining the event is a unique opportunity to meet key economists, ministers, business leaders, senior government officials, researchers, and experts from GCC organizations.
