Building Futures & Inspiring Hope

Iraqi and Yemeni business leaders are an example of resilience and adaptability, pushing forward in the face of great socio political challenges. However, both nations have a long way to go, and their entrepreneurs and industrial leaders have stepped up, finding ways to foster economic growth and community development. We have seen visionaries utilize the modernization of important sectors, telecommunications and finance, primarily in Iraq. It is by bringing in advanced digital infrastructure that enabled them to connect millions to bridge a divide between rural and the urban. Just as financial services efforts have opened up opportunities for investment, improved transparency, and allowed for the growth of emerging industries, these leaders have even shown us how innovation and strategic planning can transform Iraq’s economic horizon.

Yemen’s business leaders have been remarkably inventive in ways to address the basic needs of their communities. Entrepreneurs in the energy and logistics sectors have invented ways to overcome supply shortages, keeping the supply of essential goods and services available. The development of small and medium enterprises at the local level has stimulated local economies, created employment and given communities power. The initiatives reflect a determination to continue growing in a sustainable way despite tremendous challenges. As a whole, the business leaders of Iraq and Yemen show how much making an effort and seeing ahead can assist with progress. Using the limited resources at their disposal, and concentrating on long term solutions, they not only assist in bringing their nations back from the brink, but they help to create the overall vision of stability and prosperity in the Middle East.

It is with the view of staying updated with the emerging trends in the region’s business landscape that Asia Business Outlook has come up with a special issue containing stories of leaders who have demonstrated their capability through their expertise. To strengthen the business landscape with their tightly-knit and result-oriented approach, they are setting new standards of effectiveness.
