The Deal Room: How Middle Eastern money ...

AMPLIFYME
About this episode

Director of Corporate Finance Stephen Barnett returns to the show to answer questions on the following three themes:


  • Big money coming out of oil-rich Gulf countries is helping the Middle East buck the global M&A trend. So what's the strategy, how important is 'soft' power and where might there be opportunities for aspiring young bankers?


  • We've covered Kim so it's over to Kylie! Reports this week that Kylie Jenner has explored buying back Coty's $600mn stake in her makeup brand. What were the mechanics of the deal and why does so want her company back?


  • OpenAI rival Cohere is tapping the likes of JPMorgan and Goldman for financing, but why are they raising money again so soon and how can these banks help the process?
