Dr Eckart Woertz heads the Economic Studies department at the Gulf Research Centre (GRC), Dubai, one of the region's leading think tanks.
He has been a visiting fellow at Princeton University and has extensive experience in banking and finance. Woertz has held senior positions at a number of German banks, including the country's oldest, Delbrück and Co, in addition to posts at several UAE-based financial services companies.
His research interests include the political economy of the Middle East, financial markets and energy issues. In February 2005, Woertz published ‘The Role of Gold in the Unified GCC Currency', in which he predicted a long-term bull market in gold. The following year he published ‘GCC Stock Markets at Risk', a paper warning of the impending stock market crash in the Gulf.
Woertz holds an MA in Middle Eastern studies and a PhD in economics from Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
He is a regular contributor to leading newspapers and TV channels, including the Financial Times, Forbes, Der Spiegel, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, the BBC and Arabian Business.
