Banker Middle East
Banker Middle East is the original and only quality monthly magazine serving the banking and finance community in the Middle East. Since its launch in 2000, Banker Middle East has been recognised as the 'voice' of the industry.

Our aim is to be the region's most accurate, authoritative and comprehensive source of information on this ever-changing industry.

Banker Middle East is not simply about banking. It's a magazine about business for bankers.

The magazine sets bankers thinking about what they should be doing. What others are already doing? Which software and hardware could make their bank work more smoothly? Guard against risk? What are their peers and mentors up to?

Banker Middle East is written in a lively and provocative style that engages the reader from the first page to the last.

A highly experienced and knowledgeable publishing team produces Banker Middle East, with over 30 years of combined experience in this exciting industry sector.

Private Equity and Venture Capital Middle East
Private equity and venture capital is perhaps one of the fastest growing sectors in the Middle East

Even though it is still in its infancy, the industry has the potential to help kick start economic transformation in the region, creating enormous benefits for a wide range of players and stakeholders, including governments, banks, regulators, investors and family-owned groups

The role that private equity investment and venture capital is playing in the Middle East at the moment is relatively small, but it is believed that the growth of the industry is a key indicator of the economic transition that the region is beginning to witness. There are an increasing number of players entering the field and an inflow of talented and experienced teams for deal initiation, structuring and execution.

Banker Middle East has recently introduced a major new section aimed specifically at analysing who the best PE/VC players in the region are. Readers of the magazine, senior bankers across the region, are constantly being asked by their high net worth private clients about the best way to make inroads in the PE/VC sphere.

This section provides key private equity/venture capital players with the ideal environment in which they can profile themselves in front of an audience that can really make a difference for them.
