GCC Losing Out Talent

The Middle East is losing out in the war for talent, according to a global survey by search firm Heidrick & Struggles and the Economist Intelligence Unit. Saudi Arabia and Egypt rank in the bottom five of the Global Talent Index, a new 30-country survey, and their ranking is forecast to remain static over the next five years. The report said a strategic approach is required to ensure the region develops, attracts and retains the best people (ameinfo.com)

It would be interesting to see if a study on how fast the region is losing existing or aspiring entrepreneurs. It is not only the new entrepreneurs who would walk out but also existing businesses would suffer.
