50 most influential expatriates
Hi Guys,
An online media published a rank list of 50 most influential expatriates in the GCC. The report looks strange, coz many of the other people need to come on that list. Any how how you think about that list ?

Re: 50 most influential expatriates
However, such lists are very much open to question relating to the choices made to put certain peolple there?
You can say the same about the list of nationals on similar lists.
Noitice how certain higfh profile nationals are keeping very quiet these days??????????

Basic stats folks

There are by numbers simply more Indians in the GCC region than any other nationality or race. Which is why you have more Indians eating out, more Indians driving cabs, more Indians involved in road accidents, more Indians investing in property and more Indians at the top end of the list! Thats it. Whats so confusing? Unless someone here identifies being Indian with working as a construction labourer....now that just would be stupid, wouldnt it?

Re: 50 most influential expatriates
Should surely read "50 most influential business expatriates". Several sectors missing - medicine, government, sport, the arts, NGO's, IO (huge UN presence in Dubai...) Some of these sectors may not be very mature but there are still expats here who are a significant influence in their development - however "limited" that might appear. Isn't there a Western guy in Dubai who is running the UAE national orchestra (without any nationals I know).....
