In times of regional unpredictability, survival is no longer about growth, it's about resilience. Throughout the Middle East, especially in the GCC, companies are facing increasing pressure: Market volatility Tight liquidity Rising operational costs Greater governance expectations Yet, numerous companies are still operating with restricted monetary visibility and ineffective procedures.
From what I'm seeing on the ground, companies that will endure and sustain are those that act now: Enhance money flow discipline Not simply reporting, however active cash forecasting, scenario preparation, and working capital optimization. Fix the structure: processes & controls Clear, documented, and implemented procedures are no longer a "nice to have": they are crucial for stability.
Embed governance and responsibility Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what protect businesses in uncertain times. Believe beyond finance, incorporate compliance & risk Siloed functions are a high-end business can no longer afford.
