• Qatar: What will be the impact of the decision to leave OPEC on the group? And why did Qatar take such a decision?
• UAE: Abu Dhabi is on another push to stimulate its economy. What are the most recent reforms that have been undertaken?
• Egypt: With the decision to not ask for further funding from the IMF, what key indicator should be watched going into 2019?
• Tunisia: Why is the battle between Prime Minister Chahed and President Essebsi escalating, and why could the PM face some pressure from his Ennahda ally?
• Iraq: What are the main challenges facing full Cabinet formation in Iraq? And what obstacles do the 2019 budget discussions face?
• Sino-MENA: What does 2019 have in store for the MENA-China energy relationship?
