Senior Financial Correspondent, Gulf – Reuters

Reuters is looking for an experienced, innovative and dynamic correspondent to lead finance and corporate coverage in the Gulf region where high oil prices have filled the coffers of sovereign wealth funds making forays into overseas markets, where state oil giants have been offering prized assets in a race to unlock capital under an economic diversification push and where Russian funds have been flowing into the United Arab Emirates, playground for the wealthy and the region’s business hub. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are vying for foreign capital and talent as the Kingdom, the world’s largest oil exporter and the Arab world’s largest economy, moves to build new industries to reduce reliance on crude, including with ambitious projects like the $500 billion megacity NEOM and an airline plan that takes aim at Emirates and Qatar Airways. The region is also pushing into cryptocurrencies and fintech.
