Today on the Smashi Business Show, we're discussing three major developments reshaping the Gulf business landscape. First, Ken Griffin's Citadel—the world's largest hedge fund—is finally opening a Dubai office, cementing the emirate's status as a global finance hub. Second, the UAE Government has established a new National Media Authority that consolidates all federal media entities under one powerful organization. And third, Shahid, Disney+ and OSN+ have launched the region's first unified streaming bundle, revolutionizing how GCC audiences access entertainment. Plus, we cover Ares Management's landmark deal with Patrimium, Adnoc's massive gas financing, and the India-Oman free trade agreement.
