Private Equity in the Gulf Cooperation Council

Arindam Banerjee

Chapter Chapter 14 in Private Equity in Emerging Markets, 2012, pp 153-162 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the last few decades, opacity and inaccuracy of information coupled with closely held business structures have led to minimal research in private equity (PE) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states (or countries). This chapter takes a closer look at the industry from the cyclical evolutionary pattern (waves) and probes into the numerous challenges facing the industry, which are both systemic in nature and unique to the region. Finally, it looks into the future of the industry and provides a checklist that is a prerequisite for future growth and development of the sector and can further improve the overall investment climate of the heavily hydrocarbon-dependent gulf states.
