Our growth in the Middle East continues to be strong. We have been advising and supporting governments and businesses as they navigate some of the biggest challenges in the region, including a lower-for-longer oil price environment, the roll-out and implementation of VAT, and the impact of technology, demographic shifts and geopolitical uncertainties among others.
With over 4,000 people based in 12 different countries across our Assurance, Tax, Consulting, Deals and Strategy& businesses, we are ideally placed to help both regional and multinational clients to develop and execute their strategies in the Middle East and beyond. Examples of this include our work with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the development and implementation of its 'National Transformation Plan' or Vision 2030 and helping our clients prepare for the introduction of VAT in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
We continue to invest and build capacity to deliver insights relevant to the region. Through our newly-formed PwC Digital Services - a result of a strategic acquisition of one of Salesforce’s largest implementation partners in the Middle East - we are now uniquely positioned to bridge the strategy to execution gap with innovative solutions that create measurable value for our clients, supported by our business transformation capabilities.
