Dubai Management Consultant on Global Business Trends
There are a number of global mega trends that favor the Middle East region for the coming 30 years. The demographic age profile of Middle East and south Asian countries reveals a “youth bulge” that promises to drive economic growth for decades, just like the “baby boom” generation did in America during the 80s and 90s. The population growth combined with a export-driven surplus economy (due primarily to oil) creates a tremendous opportunity for businesses to prepare for and capitalize on the coming domestic expansion. Patrick is an expert of these trends, not just for the Middle East region but also for countries around the world. Here is a video describing the demographic global mega trend in more detail:
