The practice

Two desks.One standard of evidence.

Finance answers the decision in front of the client. Economics describes the conditions that decision has to survive. When the economics work needs a global model, the partner is Oxford Economics.

01

Finance

Five lines of work. Each one ends in something a client can run, sign, or govern.

01Strategy

Corporate, functional, and operational plans, written so they can be run. Governance, compliance, and risk sit in the same piece of work.

02Corporate finance

Analysis, modeling, and valuation in support of an investment decision, a business plan, or a question of performance and value.

03Privatization and PPP

Feasibility, the privatization strategy, the parties at the table, the structure of the deal, and the transition after it closes.

04Fintech

Technology chosen for a financial service in this market, then put in place. Local and regional conditions set the brief.

05Sustainability

Where the organization stands, the strategy that follows, the roadmap, and a clear account of what has to change.

02

Economics

Macroeconomics for policy and institutional research. Tourism economics for a sector the Kingdom is still building.

01Macroeconomics

Forecasting, modeling and simulation, market assessment, the link to political conditions, risk, and economic impact. Many government bodies now keep a research function of their own. With Oxford Economics, MiS supports that function: benchmark studies, models, stronger datasets, and impact assessment. Knowledge transfer is part of the delivery.

02Tourism economics

Saudi Arabia intends to raise tourism’s contribution to GDP. Policy needs a base: what other countries did, a dataset that can be opened quickly, and an impact reading of the policy itself. With Oxford Economics Tourism Economics, that is the work. The sector is still open beyond the obvious paths — ecotourism, adventure travel, and meetings and events among them.
