From a CNBC studio in Dubai Marina, CNBC's Erin Burnett co-anchored "Squawk on the Street," which provides up-to-the minute market news from major markets around the world, and anchored "Street Signs," which offers detailed analysis of everything from mergers and acquisitions to trends in online advertising. The programmes aired, respectively, from 9AM-11AM and 2PM-3PM Eastern Standard Time (US) on November 19, 2007.
CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, examined how the oil boom has provided Dubai with the largest government-run investment fund with almost US$1 trillion to invest in assets around the world and in the United States, including Madame Tussaud's, Barney's and GE's Plastics Unit.
During each programme, Burnett interviewed CEOs and business leaders from different sectors, including finance, real estate, transportation and technology, to discuss the impact of the emerging Middle East and how Dubai has become a financial centre rivaling New York and London.
