RIYADH: A new multinational survey out of Riyadh put a number on something the Gulf’s business community has felt building for months: outside investors are not hedging their bets on the region, they are doubling down on them. The poll, run by Consulum with HarrisX across 2,043 active investors in the US, UK, Germany, France and China, found that 82 percent are confident in the Gulf’s economic outlook, with China, the US and the UK the most bullish.
