Oxford Business Group (OBG) has appointed a new Country Director who will oversee its research and collaboration efforts with key local entities for the preparation of the Abu Dhabi Economic Report – a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of the UAE’s capital’s economic landscape.

Ananda Sheela Bas, with vast experience in leading strategic initiatives across international markets, with a background that spans ICT, healthcare, financial services, and investor relations, will be instrumental in bringing out ‘The Report: Abu Dhabi 2025’ that will serve as a guide to future investments and strategic decisions.

With the support of Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the UAE Bank Federation, and the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, OBG’s research will delve into critical sectors such as energy, real estate, tourism, and technology, offering insights into economic performance and identifying growth opportunities that align with Abu Dhabi’s Vision 2030.

Most recently, as Project Director at OBG in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Bas played a pivotal role in shaping economic research and reporting initiatives, delivering in-depth analysis and strategic advisory services for both the private and public sectors.

Her track record of fostering high-level partnerships and her in-depth understanding of emerging market dynamics will be invaluable, OBG said, for moving forward with the report.

Bas said: “Abu Dhabi’s evolving economic landscape presents unique opportunities for growth and innovation.

“I am eager to collaborate with our partners to deliver insights that will be essential for investors and decision-makers, highlighting the strengths and potential of the emirate’s diverse sectors.”

Jana Treeck, OBG’s Managing Director for the Middle East, said: “Ananda’s strategic insights and her experience in driving economic analysis make her exceptionally suited to lead our Abu Dhabi project.

“As we launch this latest report, her leadership will strengthen our efforts to produce data-driven insights that will inform and guide Abu Dhabi’s future development, solidifying its position as a regional economic powerhouse and aligning with Vision 2030.”

OBG said its research for The Report: Abu Dhabi 2025 will focus on sectoral performance, economic diversification, and investment opportunities, providing valuable insights into Abu Dhabi’s resilience and forward-looking economic policies.

This comprehensive report will serve as a trusted resource for stakeholders eager to understand and participate in Abu Dhabi’s economic progress, it said. – TradeArabia News Service
