RIYADH: Companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council are poised to extend their growth momentum into 2026 as strong demand, easing interest rates and supportive government policies bolster operating conditions, according to a new report.
In its latest report, Moody’s Ratings said ongoing investments in infrastructure and the rising number of technology-based projects are also key factors that will support the growth of non-financial companies operating in the region.
The findings reinforce the progress of economic diversification efforts undertaken by GCC member states, including Saudi Arabia, aimed at strengthening non-oil sectors and reducing reliance on crude revenues.
“GCC companies are expected to benefit from strong demand, declining interest rates, supportive economic policies, and ongoing investments in infrastructure and technology,” said Moody’s.
