What this desk does not do
Deals at or above USD 50m. Never report a funding round as news. UAE and Saudi state-owned entities appear only as counterparties to a discrete transaction, never as institutions, and never described as sovereign or state-backed. No policy, no sovereign debt, no leadership, no fiscal context.
The same rule decides what reaches Arabia Tomorrow rather than one of the other nine titles. See the editorial policy.
