Middle East Economic

Since its establishment in 1957, the Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) has come to be recognized as the world's foremost authority on oil and gas in the Middle East. Founded in Beirut, Lebanon, by Fuad W. Itayim, this weekly newsletter provides a comprehensive source of news and analysis of energy, economic and political developments in Middle East countries. MEES' Editor Emeritus, Ian Seymour, is one of the leading oil journalists of his generation and Walid Khadduri, Editor-in-Chief, is respected worldwide as an authority on Middle East affairs. Dr Khadduri now oversees the production of MEES from its base in Cyprus - an ideal location benefiting from a lack of restrictions on publishers and easy communications with the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America. MEES and its staff of both Arab and non-Arab analysts benefit from a wealth of expertise and information, accumulated over some 45 years, allowing them to provide subscribers with a unique insight into the Middle East that is not readily available elsewhere. Our vast network of contacts ensures that you hear it first, correctly and clearly, from us. MEES presents developments in Middle East economies - be they oil and gas-related or otherwise - in a clear and concise style, giving readers a critical edge over the competitors in market intelligence while not neglecting the broader policy angles. The loyalty of our readership - many of whom have been with us for decades - is proof of our strength. Newcomers to MEES can tell from first glance that it is a value-added product, in contrast to other less incisive publications. In a recent marketing survey, our readership was emphatic in its appreciation of MEES saying that it provides great valuable context that helps shape their thinking.
