landscape from 2004-13 across the GCC region. It also assesses key competitive
developments in the three most attractive countries.
Scope of this research

assets for 2004-13.

Research and analysis highlights
Datamonitor has developed a Wealth Management Opportunity Index to aid those
working in the wealth management industry to gauge the relative attractiveness
of markets as wealth management centers.
This report highlights Datamonitor' s conclusion that the UAE, Qatar and
Bahrain are the most attractive wealth markets in the Middle East. Kuwait,
Saudi Arabia and Oman offer fewer opportunities for different reasons.
Wealth Management in the Middle East sizes the wealth markets in six Middle
Eastern countries, as measured by the number of wealthy individuals (defined
as those with aggregate onshore liquid assets of more than $50,000) and the
total level of holdings of onshore liquid assets.
