In its latest report, the financial firm said the MSX 30 Index closed the year at 5,866.8 points, marking one of the strongest annual performances among GCC markets.
According to the analysis, the index reached its annual peak at 5,985.66 points in mid-December, while its lowest level was 4,223.83 points in early April, reflecting a 38.9 percent recovery from the year’s trough.
Developing a robust capital market ecosystem remains crucial for GCC countries as they pursue economic diversification efforts to reduce dependence on oil revenues.
“The aggregate MSCI GCC index reported a gain of 1.6 percent during the year despite largely positive performance at the country level. At the exchange level, Oman witnessed the biggest gains during the year with a double-digit surge of 28.2 percent,” said Kamco Invest.
