The $Trillion Energy Shift: MENA at a Strategic Crossroads

Season 2 of AERZENtalks opens with a timely and strategic conversation on the forces shaping the region’s sustainable future. In this episode, we welcome Dr. Nasser Saidi, economist, former minister and central banker, and founder of the Clean Energy Business Council MENA. We explore how clean energy ambitions must be supported by aligned financial systems, forward-looking policy frameworks, and strong governance to translate vision into measurable impact. The discussion highlights the structural shifts underway in the MENA region, and the opportunity to position the region as a competitive leader in the global energy transition. A conversation grounded in economics, strategy, and long-term value creation.
