A new report from the Arab Advisors Group provides an analysis of the crowdfunding space in the Middle East & North Africa. The research breaks down the 17 companies into five categories within crowdfunding: reward-based crowdfunding, donation-based crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding, real estate crowdfunding and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending.
As of April 2016, there have been 255 campaigns on reward-based crowdfunding websites since 2012. The average pledge made on MENA reward-based crowdfunding websites is $175.

“Our interviews with crowdfunding executives have revealed that dealing with regulation is one of the biggest challenges faced by crowdfunding companies throughout the region.” Mr. Malik Malik, Arab Advisors Research Analyst said. Mr. Malik added that “The lack of regulation in the region means that pioneers in this space have to be constantly in conversation with regulatory bodies to not only ensure that their businesses can operate without friction from the government, but to help shape crowdfunding-related laws going forward.”
