As Covid-19 has continued to spread worldwide, the MENA region has been equally impacted in varying ways, from economic disruption to “lower for longer” oil prices and a sharp fall in global growth. These developments are placing strain on both oil and non-oil revenues across a range of sectors, from tourism to real estate to trade. How is the region navigating the turbulence, and how will it come out of it?

This webinar addressed the key issues impacting trade policy-making throughout the region and the geopolitical landscape, from the long-term consequences of an energy crisis to the impact of lockdowns and travel restrictions on a dynamic trade hub.
