SAGIA, Nasdaq Reach Joint Agreement 2 Washington

On his part, Amr Abdullah M.A. Al Dabbagh, SAGIA Governor and
Chairman of the Board, said, ‘Saudi Arabia has worked over the last 4
years to improve its economy, using competitiveness as the driving
discipline for its work. This dedicated focus has resulted, for
example, in the World Bank ranking the country number 16 globally in
its ease of doing business. We are now turning our attention to other
aspects of competitiveness, including those impacting private sector.



‘We are pleased to work with NASDAQ OMX in producing The 100 CEOs
List, which will hopefully become a guide to good corporate
citizenship, executive performance, and serve to further global
understanding of how competitiveness principles can help to set apart
corporate leaders as well as economies.’


Magnus Bocker, president of NASDAQ OMX, said, ‘The 100 CEOs List
will enhance transparency, raise investor awareness and inspire
better corporate governance. We are pleased to partner with SAGIA on
this important endeavor.’”
