Hmm, I actually wouldn't mind 100 shares of the National Bank of Qatar. Of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar is probably the most progressive.
Isn't Qatar independent of the UAE? If I had to pick one of the UAE states I'd pick Dubai - I'd love to live in that Palm island thing! Woohoo!
Yes, Dubai Inc is the fastest growing Financial hub in middle east. If I am right, they invested $9 Billion in Citi Bank recently. Key and Citi has close ties. If Key were to buy National City, eventually it would become part of Citi and Dubai Inc.
