Description
Is the GCC facing a structural point of no return? With the Hormuz Blockade effectively "locking in" the region's economy, the old rules of Gulf growth are being rewritten. In Episode 88 of Majlis & Markets, Issam Al-Tawari re-joins us for a high-stakes briefing on the Gulf economic reset.
We move beyond the headlines to analyse why the 2026 conflict is more than just a volatility shock—it is a fundamental devaluation of regional security and credit profiles.
Key Briefing Points:
- The Chokepoint: The fiscal reality of stranded hydrocarbon exports.
- Credit Contagion: Why regional banks are tightening and the surge in war risk premiums.
- Kuwait’s Survival: Assessing the viability of Vision 2035 in a disrupted supply chain environment.
- The Global Reset: How shifting geopolitical hegemonies are forcing a new GCC financial strategy.
