“Daybreak Middle East and Africa” provides audiences with a daily spotlight on one of the world’s fastest-growing regions, with the latest global markets and analysis, plus news-making interviews.

“The quality of Bloomberg’s news coverage is renowned globally, and I look forward to highlighting the stories from the Middle East alongside our team on the ground,” said Bercetche in a statement. “This is a moment of fast-paced change and growth in the region with important business, financial, economic and energy stories shaping global dynamics and the decisions of business leaders. A very exciting time to be taking up this role.”
