GCC: Workforce Nationalisation and Localisation Programs - Key Considerations
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Saudi Aramco have implemented localisation programs (PDO and ADNOC: In Country Value or ICV and Saudi Aramco: In-Kingdom Total Value Add Program or IKTVA).

This legal briefing gives an overview on how workforce nationalisation and localisation programs are connected and what suppliers need to take into consideration.
