Book excerpt: In spite of fast economic growth in the Middle East, less attention has been paid by researchers and investigators to the region compared with other emerging markets in the Europe, Asia-Pacific region, etc. This study investigates the relationship between stock prices and exchange rates in ten Middle Eastern countries, namely, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) before and after the 2007 global financial crisis. The main findings from this research provide valuable insights into the characteristics and patterns of Middle Eastern stock markets and foreign exchange markets for policymakers, particularly in the area of exchange rate management.
