FT.com - Opportunities in the region

Dubai is a thriving hub for the Middle East and its most glitzy attraction for would-be expatriates. It has also experienced swifter rises and falls in activity than other parts of the region.

But there are signs that hiring activity is reviving across the Gulf Co-operation Council area. GCC member countries include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, and United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are the best known of the seven emirates, or states).

“We have had two very difficult years,” says Tariq Sadiq, markets, accounts and business development leader for Middle East and north Africa (Mena) for the professional services firm Ernst & Young. “Our profession follows our clients. And optimism has been creeping into the market.”
