Nasdaq Dubai and Oxford Business Group (OBG) have announced that they will collaborate to bring high quality financial intelligence and economic analysis to investors and the business community, a media report said.

OBG will launch its authoritative 'The Report: Dubai 2019' early next year from Nasdaq Dubai’s MarketSite, the exchange’s event space for thought leadership activities, reported Emirates news agency Wam.

The cooperation will also include briefings and discussion on economic trends and developments in countries across the region, aimed at senior executives and capital markets participants.

Jana Treeck, managing director for the Middle East at Oxford Business Group, said, "Our collaboration with the Middle East’s international financial exchange will provide us with new avenues to engage with business people and investors around the region. MarketSite at the exchange’s new offices in Dubai International Financial Centre, DIFC, is an ideal venue for us to launch 'The Report: Dubai' and provide briefings on a range of countries and sectors."

Hamed Ali, chief executive of Nasdaq Dubai, said, "The exchange’s commitment to promoting thought leadership and high quality information will take a further step forward through our cooperation with OBG, whose reports and analysis covering nearly 40 countries are highly respected across the region. We will work with OBG to provide seminars and discussion on topical issues of interest to businesses, governments and investors, drawing on the knowledge base and extensive networks of contacts of both our organisations."
