“The guidance and advice will be invaluable through the many sections of the publication, which will include politics, the economy, financial services, construction and real estate, transport, energy, tourism and culture.”

Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qassimi, member of the Sharjah Executive Council and Chairman of the SCTDA said: “There is a developing international focus on investment in Sharjah and the wide resources of the SCTDA will be at the disposal of OBG’s research team. We will be able to give OBG’s team invaluable data and insights into the economic and business environment of Sharjah.
