Oxford Business Group (OBG) and Nasdaq Dubai will be teaming up to produce in-depth analysis of the emirate’s capital markets following an agreement signed yesterday between the global research and consultancy firm and the international financial exchange.

 

As part of the collaboration, Nasdaq Dubai will contribute to the financial intelligence and data that will appear in OBG’s forthcoming publication, The Report: Dubai 2019.

 

The publication is expected to be launched early next year from MarketSite, the exchange’s event space for thought leadership activities, which is located at its new offices in Dubai International Financial Centre. Under the agreement, OBG and Nasdaq Dubai will also team up to produce executive briefings on broader economic trends and developments in evidence across the GCC.

 

Welcoming the partnership, Jana Treeck, OBG’s Managing Director for the Middle East, said Nasdaq Dubai’s input would undoubtedly strengthen the Group’s coverage of the emirate’s capital markets and others farther afield.

 

“Nasdaq Dubai has carved a niche as a key global listing venue for regional and international issuers of equity, debt and other asset classes, serving investors located around the world who are seeking a wide range of shares, derivatives, bonds and Real Estate Investment Trusts,” she said. “I’m delighted that we will benefit from its team’s expertise and in-depth knowledge through this important collaboration, which is sure to bring valuable and timely insight on the latest market movements to our readers.”

 

Hamed Ali, Chief Executive of Nasdaq Dubai, added that the cooperation with OBG marked a further step forward for the exchange in its commitment to promoting thought leadership and high-quality information around the globe.

 

“Oxford Business Group’s reports and analysis of close to 40 countries are highly respected across the region and beyond,” he said. “I look forward to working with its team to provide seminars and discussion on topical issues of interest to businesses, governments and investors, drawing on the knowledge base and extensive networks of contacts of both our organisations.”
