The financial and economic crisis of the last two years has hit hard. Few have escaped entirely unscathed from the widespread collapse in real estate and equity valuations. The pre-crisis growth trajectories of the MENASA economies however seem to point to a relatively quick return to growth, compared with some of the casualties in mature markets.
