In times of local unpredictability, survival is no longer about development, it has to do with durability. Throughout the Middle East, particularly in the GCC, business are dealing with increasing pressure: Market volatility Tight liquidity Increasing functional costs Greater governance expectations Yet, lots of companies are still running with limited monetary visibility and inefficient processes.
From what I'm seeing on the ground, business that will endure and sustain are those that act now: Reinforce capital discipline Not just reporting, but active money forecasting, circumstance preparation, and working capital optimization. Fix the structure: processes & controls Clear, recorded, and enforced processes are no longer a "good to have": they are important for stability.
Embed governance and responsibility Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what protect companies in unsure times. Think beyond financing, incorporate compliance & threat Siloed functions are a high-end companies can no longer manage. This is not about improvement for the future. This is about stabilization for today. If you're navigating these challenges, I 'd be pleased to exchange point of views.
In 2025, the GCC was a worldwide outlier for company confidence, but 2026 has brought a new set of financial and political realities. While experts in the area might have taken pleasure in some easy wins in the past, those days appear to be behind them. Based upon a survey of senior purchasers and ultramodern Pulse Survey information from March 2026, this report provides the roadmap for consulting companies to navigate local instability and a maturing client base.
