What we’re tracking on 19 November 2018

*** Tell us what you expect in 2019: Each year, we ask readers to weigh in on what they expect of the year ahead — whether they’re investing or hiring. What they expect the exchange rate to be. Whether interest rates are winds at their backs — or headwinds. You name it. We then share the results with everyone in a subsequent edition of Enterprise to help all of you plan for the new year. It won’t take more than a couple of minutes, but the insights help the entire community.

Take our 2019 poll in English. Or, if you prefer, take it in Arabic.
