We will cover:

  • Direct impact on local markets (UAE & Saudi): on-the-ground sentiment, flows, and regional market reaction
  • What’s moved in GCC debt markets: spreads, liquidity, and issuance activity — where repricing is most evident and whether new deals are still getting done
  • Transmission to credit risk: how Hormuz disruption is feeding into sovereign vs corporate credit, including pricing of new issue premiums and deal structuring
  • Relative value & opportunities: where investors are adding/reducing risk and what opportunities are emerging amid volatility (incl. potential Red Sea investment)
  • Risks & distressed scenarios: where stress or potential distress would likely emerge first if disruption persists
