Are Oil Rich Arab Countries Vertically Integrating?

by waseem on Jun.24, 2009, under Uncategorized

The state of Qatar has been eying a stake in either Porsche or VW, and the emirate of Abu Dhabi has recently bought a stake in another automaker, Daimler. Both Qatar and Abu Dhabi are oil rich. With this in mind, one has to ask himself these questions:

  1. Are oil rich Arab countries vertically integrating?
  2. Will these acquired automakers be forced to make less fuel efficient cars?
  3. Are these acquisitions purely targeting “luxury” brands?
