At some point in 2008, the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) will have to confront one of the toughest decisions of its 26-year history: whether or not to push ahead with its flagship project to introduce a single currency in the Gulf by 2010.
The man with the task of navigating the organisation through this key period in its history is GCC secretary general Abdulrahman bin Hamad al-Attiyah. In an exclusive interview with MEED, Al-Attiyah argues that monetary union would be a huge benefit to the region, but says its success depends on the political will of the member governments.
