OBG picks new team for Bahrain project

Manama, October 4, 2011

Oxford Business Group (OBG), a global publishing, research and consultancy firm, has put in place a new team to oversee its latest project on Bahrain's economic development and investment opportunities.

Anna Dabrowska moves to Bahrain from Qatar to take up the role of country director while Gregory Kramer has been appointed OBG's editorial manager in the kingdom for the second consecutive year.

The team will spearhead the groundwork and compilation of business intelligence for OBG's forthcoming publication The Report: Bahrain 2012.

Dabrowska said she was delighted to be playing a pivotal role on OBG's new report which is expected to provide an in-depth analysis of Bahrain's efforts to drive growth in services and manufacturing.

'Our research is set to put a number of developing sectors in the spotlight, particularly Bahrain's manufacturing industry, which is a key component in the kingdom's plans to diversify its economy,' she said.

'We will also be exploring the steps Bahrain is taking to ensure it retains its position as a favoured investment destination following the unrest earlier in the year,' Dabrowska added.

Kramer said the new report would explore the progress Bahrain was making in expanding high-potential growth areas, such as tourism, IT and finance.

'Our work will also involve closely following the National Dialogue which is expected to be pivotal in the kingdom's ongoing efforts to attract investors,' he said.

'Bahrain's continued success in diversifying its economy away from hydrocarbons, the important regional role it plays in terms of financial services, together with the challenges it faced earlier this year, have highlighted the need to ensure accurate and up-to-date business intelligence is made available to international investors,' said OBG regional director Michelle Soloman.

'Both Anna and Greg possess an in-depth understanding of the economic landscape across the region and beyond. I am confident that their skills, together with the valuable work Greg has carried out in the kingdom for OBG during the past year, will help them raise the bar once again in our highly-anticipated 2012 publication.'

The Report: Bahrain 2012 will mark the culmination of more than eight months of on-the-ground research by a team of analysts from OBG.-TradeArabia News Service
