Month: July 2022

KPMG’s business in the United Arab Emirates has been split by infighting, with the chief executive surviving an attempted coup after two senior partners raised governance concerns and were subsequently fired.

The accounting group’s Lower Gulf business was pitched into turmoil last week as a group of partners planned a secret ballot to determine whether Nader Haffar, KPMG’s chief in the region since 2018, had lost their support, according to current and former insiders.

Haffar would have faced removal if three-quarters of the firm’s 60 partners had said they had lost confidence in him, the insiders said.

However, the momentum for the uprising had stalled on Friday and the vote was called off, according to one of the people. “It looks like Nader has survived for now,” the person said.

LONDON, July 5 (Reuters) – Britain’s new finance minister Nadhim Zahawi takes the reins of an economy struggling under the strain of nearly double-digit inflation and a slowdown that looks set to be more severe than in most of the world’s other big nations.

Like his predecessor Rishi Sunak, Zahawi will face pressure to spend more and cut taxes from lawmakers in Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party who has been stung by a slump in the party’s popularity.

The former education minister – who co-founded opinion polling firm YouGov before entering parliament – will also be expected to play a key role in settling the still-unfinished business of Brexit with Britain and the European Union.
