DealReporter has launched an enhanced Middle East service that offers exclusive reporting of regional corporate transactions actively traded by regional and international buysiders, as well as enhanced analytics and boosted aggregation of local news sources.

The Middle East news service adds to dealReporter’s global news output that provides proprietary scoops on equity and credit-related situations for an institutional investor audience.

The expanded Middle East platform now provides in-depth coverage of a spectrum of actionable liquidity events in both equity and credit, as well as project and Islamic finance. The company's network of sources in touch with deal developments, allows us to publish exclusive intelligence on non-public transaction talks.

A Dubai-based team of reporters generates intelligence on key special situations ranging from rights issues and private placements to dividend changes, significant business events and asset disposals. Corporate governance and shareholder activism, demergers and legal actions are central to this coverage area, as is our focus on convertible bond arbitrage.

The expansion of dealReporter Middle East’s debt capital market coverage tracks the development of the regional credit market and now encompasses both bond and sukuk issues, secondary market trading, as well as corporate refinancing and balance sheet restructuring. The addition of project finance intelligence complements this content set by providing financing updates on projects with a value of USD 1bn or more.

The team also reports on the evolving regional regulatory environment, speaking to leading government and legal sources in the region to clarify the implications of new or proposed legislation.

“Our niche focus reduces the scope for information overload while at the same time ensuring our readers don’t miss essential updates on key regional situations,” dealReporter Middle East editor Victoria Robson says. “We also benefit from access to dealReporter’s global network of journalists with whom we collaborate to provide market moving information on a variety of cross-border situations.”

dealReporter’s proprietary coverage is supported by a suite of tailored analytics generated by an in- house team and the rapid aggregation of English and Arabic language local publications from across the region.

“dealReporter Middle East will become the only platform in the region capable of providing proprietary news coverage for both the equity and credit markets,” dealReporter global editor in chief Yanita Morris says. “Our team of highly specialised regional reporters have extensive experience coveringcomplex restructuring cases, as well as time sensitive ECM transactions and M&A deals. This is an exciting and an unmatched service tailored to sophisticated investors and other financial professionals looking for a competitive edge in a truly unique market.”
