The 2008 DS100 Summary Report Overall Growth Slows, but Manufacturing Picks Up Strong

The 5th Annual DS100 - Top 100 Companies ranking continues to benchmark the corporate environment of the 57 OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference) member countries.

This year’s ranking, which covered financials amidst early stages of the current global recession (end-of-year 2007 data), expectedly showed a decrease in growth of the construction, energy, and diversified sector companies.

However, areas of opportunities were also highlighted as basic materials manufacturing, and agriculture/food companies grew faster than the year before.
