RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Tuesday, July 30th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE) Confidence amongst business leaders in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) rose more than 2 points in the second quarter to 62.6, its highest level in more than a year. Confidence increased for the second consecutive quarter, placing MENA as the second most optimistic region in the world, behind Africa. This is according to the latest YPO Global Pulse CEO sentiment survey.

CEO sentiment in several MENA countries suffered on the back of asset sell-offs in emerging markets around the globe in the second quarter of 2013. Nevertheless, rising optimism fueled by strong oil prices and economic expansion in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, which weigh the most heavily in this index, more than made up for the downturn in optimism elsewhere.
