A Thriving Sector with Evolving Demands
The banking and financial sector in the GCC is poised for continued growth, driven by large-scale infrastructure investments, an influx of wealthy expatriates, and unprecedented growth in new business setups, which has increased demand for retail, private, and corporate banking solutions. The rise of fintech, digital-first banks, and cryptocurrency adoption highlights the region's forward-thinking approach to financial innovation.
Markets in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and other GCC hubs are further strengthened by international investments, particularly in private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and asset management. Additionally, many family offices are establishing a presence in the UAE to benefit from its favorable tax environment and access to global financial markets.
