In times of regional unpredictability, survival is no longer about development, it has to do with durability. Across the Middle East, particularly in the GCC, companies are facing increasing pressure: Market volatility Tight liquidity Increasing operational expenses Greater governance expectations Yet, numerous organizations are still running with minimal financial visibility and ineffective processes.
From what I'm seeing on the ground, companies that will survive and sustain are those that act now: Strengthen cash flow discipline Not just reporting, however active cash forecasting, scenario planning, and working capital optimization. Repair the structure: procedures & controls Clear, documented, and imposed processes are no longer a "nice to have": they are crucial for stability.
Embed governance and accountability Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what safeguard organizations in uncertain times. Think beyond finance, integrate compliance & danger Siloed functions are a luxury business can no longer pay for.

While experts in the area may have taken pleasure in some simple wins in the past, those days appear to be behind them. Based upon a survey of senior buyers and up-to-date Pulse Survey information from March 2026, this report offers the roadmap for speaking with firms to navigate local instability and a growing customer base.
