About CNBC Arabia
CNBC Arabia is an Arabic-language business news channel based in Dubai Media City. It launched in 2003 as a regional channel carrying the CNBC brand, the US business news network, adapted for Arabic-speaking audiences.
The channel covers financial markets, economics, companies and business news from the Gulf and the wider Arab world, along with global markets. Live coverage of regional stock exchanges, such as those in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, is central to its programming.
Interviews with ministers, central bankers, chief executives and investors form a large part of its output, giving viewers insight into policy decisions and company strategies.
For investors and business people in the region, an Arabic business channel provides news and analysis in their own language, focused on markets that international channels cover less closely.
Beyond television, CNBC Arabia publishes news online and through social media, where much of its audience now follows business updates.
Dubai Media City, launched in 2001, became home to many regional and international broadcasters, helping Dubai develop into a media hub for the Middle East.
