(CNN) -- On this week's show, MME reports on the companies in the region planning on going public. DP World has announced it applied to list shares on Borse Dubai; Abraaj Capital has planned a $1 billion public offering; and Canadian gold miner, Unigold will become the fist North American company to list shares on the DIFX. What's driving the trend? MME finds out.

John Defterios also talks to Arif Naqvi, the CEO of Abraaj Capital, a leading Middle Eastern investment firm. With over $2 billion worth of assets currently under management, Abraaj Capital's landmark deals include the leveraged buyout of the Inchcape Group's Middle East businesses and Aramex. Defterios asks him about the investment opportunities and risks in the region as a result of rising oil prices and the growing wealth of sovereign funds.

MME also visits the village of Taybeh, one of the few Christian villages left in the West Bank and home to the only Palestinian brewery. We meet with Nadim Khoury to talk about his mini-brewery and how despite political and economic instability, the beer keeps on flowing during Oktoberfest. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend
