Economic and Industrial Intelligence (EII)

Macroeconomic research & financial analysis for sound investment decisions

What is it?

Often carried out in conjunction with other high profile international organizations, EII research conducted by GOIC experts investigates the ongoing industrial development strategies adopted in the GCC states. This includes technical consultations with private clients and governments on policy effects, market surveys, tailored data collection, and legal opinion on new legislation.

How it works

The EII team calls upon GOIC’s comprehensive database of the GCC economies and uses advanced economic and econometric forecasting tools to conduct detailed analyses. In addition, first hand information is obtained on regulatory and legal developments through GOIC’s close contacts with senior government officials throughout the region.

The research broadly falls into one of three areas:

Macroeconomic analysis


Focused on major economic developments in the GCC and the world, the macroeconomic analysis team forecasts the effects of government policies on industries and companies. These analyses are useful to our corporate clients in devising their strategic plans, understanding the impact of global events on their balance sheet and setting up risk management systems.

Industrial research

This targets the analysis of industrial development strategies in the GCC member states, technical consultations with private clients and governments on policy effects, market surveys, tailored data collection, and legal opinion on new legislation.

Trade policies

The WTO Center maintains updated information on trade policy developments and provides advice on using the opportunities opened up across the GCC by trade liberalization. In particular the center provides guidance to entrepreneurs on the procedures and regulatory steps required to make their firms WTO compliant.
