Business and financial news network CBNC has begun broadcasting from its new Middle East headquarters in Abu Dhabi.

Unveiled during the Capital Connection show fronted by CNBC Middle East anchor Hadley Gamble, the facility in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) will now act as the TV network’s regional hub.

“We’ve been reporting the Middle East business story to CNBC’s elite global audience for years,” said Gamble after the inaugural show on Monday (16 April). “The launch of our new home within ADGM starts a new chapter in our reporting from the region. These new state-of-the-art studios provide us with a fantastic platform to tell the global business story through a unique Middle East lens.”

CNBC has revealed its guests this week will include Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of Aldar Properties; HE Saif Saeed Ghobash, director general of Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism; Jassim Alseddiqi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Financial Group; Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal and Mohammed Al Ardhi, chairman of Investcorp.

John Casey, CNBC’s SVP of International News and Programming, said: “CNBC broadcasts daily from the network’s international headquarters in New York, London and Singapore. With the addition of our new Middle East Headquarters at ADGM, we plan to connect Abu Dhabi to the world’s financial capitals.”
