Financial Times and the Middle East

The Financial Times will launch a Middle East edition to serve what it sees as a growing demand for business news in the Gulf states and other parts of the region, according to Reuters reports.
The paper is part of Pearson PLC's international expansion strategy for the Times and the first copies will be available on Tuesday.
"The economic dynamism of the region is striking," Financial Times Chief Executive John Ridding said in an interview with Reuters on Saturday. "It's not just the rate of growth, it's the nature of growth."
"Unlike the previous sort of oil booms, I think what we're seeing this time is a substantial investment in the foundations of sustainable economic development, infrastructure and education," Ridding said.
