Menas has two different types of publication that explain and interpret the key political, business and security issues in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Caspian region.

Our publications aim to help existing and potential investors understand the critical developments in the commercial environment, and identify the risks and opportunities in these important but complex and challenging markets.

Focus reports, which are published monthly, are designed to stand back and take stock. Their long view stresses both analysis and prediction; explaining the cause but also the consequences of developments which will decide the future of these states.

Each Focus report is around 8,000-10,000 words long. While identifying the vital trends for investors within different states in the region, Focus also distinguishes the differences in priorities which exist between them.

Libya and Yemen Focus, for example, ask how and when the civil conflict in those countries will end. But like Iraq & Kurdistan Focus, they also look beyond the fighting to identify the risks and opportunities of peace. Even in states where violence is prevalent, Focus reports take time to consider the impact on the economy in general and the energy sector in particular.

Other reports, such as Caspian or Iran Strategic Focus (ISF), are overwhelmingly business oriented. ISF uses the vision of almost three decades in print to guide companies seeking access to the vast potential of an Iranian market long-starved of investment by the nuclear dispute. It is exceptional in also offering two additional documents which together update readers about the key projects and personalities in the Iranian hydrocarbon sector.

Algeria and Nigeria Focus sit somewhere in between, as they track the crucial economic developments while also explaining the significant political and security risks which affect the stability of the business environment in these states. Sahara Focus, which covers a number of states in the region, holds the same priorities.

All of our reports are written and edited by highly experienced international experts with a deep knowledge of, and connections with, the countries and regions that they write about.

Focus is available through a universal corporate subscription, which allows it be sent to as many or as few nominated individuals as desired within any given organisation, wherever they are in the world.

Menas Associates’ Politics & Security reports highlight and analyse potential risks to, and opportunities for, investors. Three of these publications are published weekly, and three are released every two weeks, and are all around 3,500-4,500 words long.

Algeria, Egypt, and Nigeria Politics & Security have each been running for over ten years, reflecting the established nature of these countries as investment destinations, while the newest additions of East Africa and Mozambique demonstrate Menas Associates’ ability to develop new products to reflect investor interest.

Our publications are written by experts from a variety of backgrounds who have many years of in-country experience. The authoritative reports go beyond the news, providing essential analysis of the latest events making headlines within each country. This is possible thanks to authors’ long-standing connection to the countries and their network of contacts. They offer cutting-edge insight to help foreign investors make well-informed business decisions.

Although the focus of these reports is mainly on the political and security situations, their content reflects the individual circumstances in each state. So while Nigeria Politics & Security tracks the complicated political scene and the security threats from insurgent groups, it also analyses developments in the vital oil sector, and the evolution of the economic sector. In contrast, Libya Politics & Security focuses on an analysis of when and how that country’s civil conflict will end.

Politics & Security reports are available on a rolling monthly subscription, or as a year-long subscription at a discounted rate. Reports can also be produced on many other countries of interest to clients, thanks to Menas Associates’ strong network of country experts.
