The achievement of the bank’s objectives, as adumbrated in its Vision and
Mission statements, would largely depend upon the depth and quality of its
knowledge of the critical challenges that the MENA region faces and its
ability to leverage adequate resources to execute mega infrastructure
projects. Understanding these challenges and how to address them would
undoubtedly require extensive economic analyses of sectoral and
macroeconomic issues. Thus, knowledge services could play a critical role in
complementing Gulf One’s financial services, and thereby enhance its
operational effectiveness and add value for investors. |
