Client
A Government agency in a GCC country involved with export development and investment promotion.
The Problem
To develop the concept and examine the viability for a joint investment holding company between a GCC country and a country in far east with an aim of facilitating the establishment of JV projects involving entrepreneurs/companies from either countries and encourage mutual flow of investments to strengthen the industrial and economic co-operation between the two countries.
Our Approach
The study was conducted in both the countries with a view of examining the need for such a company, identifying prospective sectors for JV, interest of business houses in JV’s, perceptions of allied institutions from either sides towards the proposed concept and the possible structure and investment pattern of such a company. The findings were then incorporated into a financial model to evaluate the possible scenarios under which such an investment holding company could become sustainable.
Proposed Solution
The concept, structure, operational details and marketing strategy for the company were developed alongwith the promising sectors for investment. Financial feasibility and profitability parameters were determined under a range of possible investment scenarios. The study showed that for the operations of the proposed company to become sustainable, the investment company had to plan for a certain critical minimum level of equity investments in projects over a period of time for which target projects were broadly identified. The main underlying constraints and means of overcoming them were also examined.
Outcome
The report was taken up for discussions by the inter-governmental panel of these countries for further action. |
