New market study, "Kuwait Commercial Banking Report Q3 2010", has been published

(Full Story here: http://freepressreleasesubmit.com/business/new-market-study-kuwait-commercial-banking-report-q3-2010-has-been-published/)
The big story in recent years in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) banking sectors has been high oil prices in recent years. Hydrocarbon revenues have swollen bank balances across the Gulf region, with significant amounts of capital and liquidity finding its way to North Africa as well. With the days of stellar oil prices gone for now (and not likely to return over the forecast period) the outlook is not so positive for the region, and this is reflected in the fact that the two highest ranked countries are the UAE at 14th and Saudi Arabia at 21st. No other MENA state has broken into the top 25 of our 59-strong ratings universe. Of particular concern is that while some progress has been made on putting the region's financial infrastructure on a more sustainable footing in recent years, it is still far too dependant upon oil revenues, and there are few drivers of either economic or commercial banking growth outside the natural resources sector. It is particularly worrying that not one MENA state has broken in to the top 10 states in the 'Limits of potential returns - Market structure' sub-category. The best performer is the UAE, in 18th place, and even with the growth of Islamic banking products, the boom years are over. We expect much more moderate growth in the financial space over the forecast period.
