Finally- An Energy Bourse for the Mideast

Qatar has taken the giant step towards the establishment of an energy stock exchange- the first of its kind in the middle east.The deal was sealed with a MoU between the Qatar Financial Center Regulatory Authority and Gulf energy which is a global consortium of investors and consultants.

Gulf Energy "aims at raising the global stakes of Middle East's energy sector, reshaping the dynamics of its oil and gas business and expanding its role in the management of resources."

So far so good... Im wondering when certain governments (*choke*whitehouse)will intervene. If you think about it, a bourse of this magnitude will only encourage the rest of the oil nations to start their own and eliminate the middle man from the game (and theyr not bound to like it).
