As global capital flows intensify across the Middle East and transformative sectors take shape, The National introduces The Inside Brief, a video-first podcast hosted by Manus Cranny to explore the people driving this dynamic growth.

In this new podcast, Manus sits down with regional and global CEOs, risk takers and policymakers, and the people who shape industries, move markets and define investment flows in the region.

Each episode promises to deliver candid and compelling conversations to offer insight into what’s really happening in the Gulf’s evolving economic landscape. Manus Cranny is the Geo‑Economics Editor of The National, and brings over 30 years of experience in global markets, finance and media.

Before taking on his current role, he anchored flagship morning news programmes at Bloomberg TV and CNBC from New York, London and Dubai. Now back in Abu Dhabi, Manus brings his signature no-fluff style to The Inside Brief.
