In times of local unpredictability, survival is no longer about growth, it's about strength. Throughout the Middle East, especially in the GCC, companies are facing increasing pressure: Market volatility Tight liquidity Increasing functional costs Greater governance expectations Yet, many organizations are still operating with minimal monetary presence and ineffective procedures.
From what I'm seeing on the ground, business that will survive and sustain are those that act now: Strengthen capital discipline Not just reporting, but active money forecasting, circumstance preparation, and working capital optimization. Fix the foundation: procedures & controls Clear, recorded, and implemented processes are no longer a "good to have": they are important for stability.
Embed governance and responsibility Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what protect organizations in unsure times. Think beyond financing, incorporate compliance & danger Siloed functions are a high-end business can no longer pay for. This is not about improvement for the future. This is about stabilization for today. If you're navigating these difficulties, I 'd be glad to exchange perspectives.
In 2025, the GCC was an international outlier for company confidence, however 2026 has brought a new set of financial and political realities. While consultants in the area might have delighted in some simple wins in the past, those days seem to be behind them.
