Commenting on the business environment in the Middle East, Mr El-Manakhly noted that the environment is calm and there are high profits.

“Doing business in Middle East is not as it seems, tough, but it is really easy for the people who know what they are doing, innovation is the best business could be done in the region” he commented.

He explained that the system in the region is flexible enough to break bureaucracy that the region was famous for. Also, high consumption of most products is high enough to make great profits, and this makes the region attractive for foreign investors.

There are several benefits to launching a business in the Middle East, and to listing on the stock exchanges of the region, according to Mr El-Manakhly.

“It allows human resources to hire foreigners, low rates of taxation, low rates of land property ownership (for corporate), 100% of ownership for none citizens, stock markets provide good opportunity to grow in Middle East .”

Mr El-Manakhly believes that the global economic crisis had a limited effect on the Middle East, noting that “the Arab economies did OK during the crisis, and many countries (except for Dubai) had the minimum effect in this regard.”

Commenting on his predictions for 2011, he explained that he expects to see many investors establishing legal entities in at least 25% of countries in the region, mainly from countries which were affected by the economic downturn.

In conclusion, Mr El-Manakhly commented:

“We are working on a project for a business guide for foreign investors in North Africa, we wish to launch it during 2011 and start the second part regarding the Gulf area guide by the same year. We wish to be the unique players in the field of international business law in the region.”
