What we do
Working with what you have. We start from what already exists in capability, capital, and relationships. We find the path to an optimal result without disruption you cannot afford.
Practice one
I
Corporate advisory and intelligence
الاستشارات والمعلومات للشركات
For corporations, investors and family offices.
Projects → We help corporations manage risk, develop their business and enter markets on better-informed decisions.
Mandates begin with a commercial question — whether to commit capital, which partner to take, what a regulatory shift will cost — and end with a position a board can adopt.

II
Government and multilateral advisory
الاستشارات للحكومات والمؤسسات الدولية
For governments, authorities and multilateral institutions.
Initiatives → We advise governments and multilateral institutions on access to finance and on building industrial strategy.
Where an instrument does not exist, we build it. Engagements typically start from a financing constraint or an industrial ambition and produce an original scheme — its structure, its counterparties, its sequence and the case that raises it. We originate, design and lead the work.

Focus areas
Our expertise is a corridor rather than a list of countries: capital, industry and policy moving across borders between Asia and Africa.
The Gulf and China
Core expertise
The corridor we know best: Chinese industrial and financial interests entering the GCC, and Gulf capital and offtake moving east. Both directions, and the politics that governs each.
North Africa
Core expertise
Egypt and the Maghreb — industrial policy, financing conditions and the regulatory landscape, advised from a standing presence in Cairo rather than visited.
India
Established coverage
India's commercial relationship with the Gulf and with East Asia: entry conditions, partner landscape, and the policy direction shaping both.
Sub-Saharan Africa and the world
On instruction
We work on the region's emerging development finance landscape, alongside its leading multilateral and trade finance institutions.
