Resilient Saudi economy proves a draw for wartime Gulf business

RIYADH: When food-tech entrepreneur Sara Amini wanted to see where Gulf businesses were still spending despite the Iran war, she flew to Riyadh. In Saudi Arabia, she found restaurants full and companies still talking expansion, in contrast to other Gulf economies in Iran’s firing line where the hospitality and restaurant sector had taken a hit. “When I come to Saudi Arabia I feel like it’s business as ‌usual,” said Amini, who is based in Dubai and manages an artificial intelligence platform that helps food distribution companies digitize operations and cut costs.
