"These two analyses provide a keen look at the synergies that exist between these major portions of the world. Business and government leaders would be well served to consider the leveraging economic opportunities presented by this market framework," said Christopher G. Caine, Mercator XXI's President and CEO.

Mercator XXI, LLC is a professional services firm with offices in Washington, DC and Cairo, Egypt. Drawing on over 30 years of business and marketplace experience, Mercator XXI helps clients execute growth strategies in the global economy.

"While the traditional growth markets of the developed world have stuttered in the wake of the global financial crisis, the markets in the Triangle of Opportunity have demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth," said Mercator XXI's Director of Research, Christopher Williams. "Our TOO methodology provides a compelling look at the rapidly evolving economic interdependency between China, India and the markets of the Middle East, and Africa. It pinpoints how they are playing off of each other's strengths and how this relationship can be expanded."

While much attention has been directed to recent political events across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, market-based transformations continue.

"Alongside the political turmoil in the Middle East, there is another revolution going on in business. It is a trend towards more risk-taking and a more open economy. These changes are demanding regulatory reforms. Business is thinking more globally and, based on similar socio-economic challenges and development environments, Middle Eastern businesses and entrepreneurs are looking towards India and China as natural partners," said Hesham Wahby, Mercator XXI's Principal for Egypt and the Middle East based in Cairo.
