    What Would A Saudi-Russian Partnership Mean For World Energy?

    Given that U.S. and EU sanctions limit the transfer of new oil and gas technology to Russian state oil firms, the logical conclusion would be that Russia would seek Saudi technology related to enhanced oil and gas recovery and advanced drilling, especially for use in the older fields in West Siberia. With a growing list of global research centers in Beijing, Houston, Aberdeen, Massachusetts and others, Saudi Arabia’s national oil company Aramco is the biggest global investor in new oil and gas technologies.

    Perspective: Have Israel-US relations reached a new low?

    Aaron David Miller, a former US Middle East negotiator, now at the Wilson Centre in Washington DC, told me that Mr Netanyahu's speech to Congress had "created a rift and opened up the field for a degree of criticism of Israel that, frankly, I have not witnessed before in 20-plus years of working for half a dozen secretaries of state".

"However, the country is still in the early stages of economic diversification and private sector development; in the future, more opportunities will arise to deploy smart solutions as part of ongoing infrastructure projects."

    Where Did the Saudi Sukuk Go?

    When King Salman started Saudi Arabia’s biggest political shakeup in at least a decade, the fate of sukuk sales was probably the last thing on his mind. Half a year into his reign, Saudi companies have yet to market a single security in 2015, making it the country’s quietest start for Islamic sales in nine years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. King Salman has reorganised his cabinet, removed princes from government roles, merged ministries and realigned succession since ascending to the throne in January.
