gulfnews : Arqaam Capital to focus on emerging markets

Arqaam Capital, the Dubai-based regional investment bank, is positioning itself as an emerging market investment bank targeting the new silk route of trade and capital flows between Asia and Africa through the Middle East, CEO Riad Meliti told Gulf News in a recent interview.

'There are lots of opportunities in the emerging markets of the Middle East, Asia and Africa. We expect these opportunities and cross border deal flows to grow manifold in the coming decade. Based in Dubai we want to position ourselves as a leading regional emerging market institution,' said Meliti.

Established in 2007, Arqaam has a significant shareholder base in the region and has the main operating entity based in the Dubai International Financial Centre and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority.
