Sustainability and Private Equity in the GCC: The Case of Shariah Compliant and Non Shariah Compliant Investment
| Private equity (PE) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region is a new asset class that has been informally structured and formalized towards the beginning of the last decade (early 2000). New private equity firms were established with more generic private equity funds established in 2002 and 2003. No publicly available private equity performance data are available that can shed light on how the GCC region compares to other regions in the world. |
