Shuaa cuts 9% of Dubai workforce

The Middle Eastern market is being affected by the credit crunch as it looks to cut back on ‘overcapacity’. The investment bank operates various private equity and real estate funds, including a $533m Saudi hospitality fund.

Shuaa Capital, the Dubai-based investment bank, is to cut 9 percent of its workforce in the emirate as it looks to reduce “overcapacity” in the wake of the credit crunch.

The bank, which has launched a variety of private equity and real estate funds through subsidiaries, said the job cuts in Dubai would be across the board but predominantly affect back- and mid-office operations.
