西方世界錯失中東三大良機

????作為一名普通人，納克維認為中期內最根本的未知問題、實際上也是最基本的選擇就是，政府和企業能否接受這些現實和發展趨勢?！叭藗冇袡嘧非蟾玫纳?，參與監管并要求進一步明確政府的職責。誰能否認這是個長期利好呢？”

????作為投資人，納克維認為短期根本問題在于是否還有好的投資機會能讓他擴大資金投入。“我當然不想在這個問題上開玩笑。我比較擔心歐元區和美國能否處理好自己的問題。如果整體環境動蕩不安，任何個體都無法獨善其身。”

????納克維對自己最看好的地方直言不諱?！翱偟膩碚f，我樂觀地認為今后5-10年中東將對全球經濟增長做出越來越大的貢獻。我把寶壓在能讓這種預期成為現實的企業家身上?！?/p>

????For Naqvi the man, the fundamental unknowable question for the intermediate term -- the fundamental choice really -- is whether governments and institutions will embrace these realities and trends. "Who can deny that people asserting their rights to seek a better life, participatory governance, and more accountability from governments is a good thing in the long-term?"

????For Naqvi the investor, the fundamental question in the near terms is whether there will still be good investment opportunities where he can deploy more capital. "I certainly don't want to be facetious about this, but I'm more concerned that the Eurozone and the U.S. are able to put their houses in order. One can't be an island of excellence in an ocean of turbulence."

????He makes it clear where his greatest optimism lies. "I am, on balance, optimistic about the Middle East's contribution to global growth increasing over the next 5-10 years. My bet is with the entrepreneurs who will make it so."
