About this episode

04 Apr 2024. The OPEC+ monitoring committee has recommended the group stick with its current supply cuts for the first half of the year. But how well are their cuts working and what does it all mean for UAE and Saudi finances? Plus, on the back of the KHDA's decision to allow school fee increases - we ask recruitment expert - Conor McHugh, Founder, Alchemy Search, if education allowances are dying out. And with gold hitting a record high above $2,300 an ounce, Richard heads down to the Dubai Gold Souq to test the mood ahead of Eid al Fitr and find out if high prices are putting off buyers. We also speak to HSBC global private banking to find out why they're advising high net worth clients to consider taking on more risk and put their cash to work.
