The RHQ program has been a key driver, issuing around 634 licenses to date, including 34 licenses in 2Q 2025. Over the next two years, around 1.3 mn sqm of new office space supply is expected in the capital, with private developers accounting for 80% of the pipelines and megaprojects for 20%. Demand in the capital remained concentrated in technology and financial sectors (each at 23%), and healthcare (15%), which together made up 61% of total office inquiries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Meanwhile, Jeddah\u2019s office market also held steady<\/strong>, with Grade A occupancy at 95% and Grade B at 92%.

In Riyadh, apartment prices grew 6.3% y-o-y and villa values climbed 11.6% y-o-y, while rents were up 8.2% y-o-y before the implementation of the five-year rent freeze. Jeddah also saw a 16.5% y-o-y increase in transaction volumes, alongside a 3.2% y-o-y rise in villa prices and a slight 1.1% dip in apartment prices. Across Riyadh and Jeddah, around 15k new residential units are expected by year-end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In retail, a growing consumer base and tourism inflows continue to fuel expansion. <\/strong>Retail sales are forecast to grow at a 4.4% compound annual rate between 2025 and 2027. During 3Q 2025, Riyadh\u2019s super-regional and regional mall rents edged up \u2014 less than 1% y-o-y \u2014 to average SAR 2.8k per sqm per year. The city\u2019s pipeline remains active, with 800k sqm of new space planned over the next five years \u2014 over 80% of which will be in the north. Around 100k sqm is scheduled for completion by year-end, followed by major projects such as Westfield Riyadh (120k sqm) in 3Q 2026 and The Avenues Mall (370k sqm) in 2027.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The hospitality market saw mixed results. <\/strong>Revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose 10% y-o-y in August 2025, supported by an 11% increase in occupancy. However, YTD figures show RevPAR down 9.2% in Riyadh and down 6.1% in Jeddah.

The Index \u2014 which evaluates the roles of governments, financial systems, and employers across 42 markets \u2014 edged down to 49.4 points from 49.6 a year earlier, though it remains well above the 2022 baseline of 41.7. Singapore maintained its lead as the world\u2019s most financially inclusive market for the fourth straight year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The slowdown was driven primarily by a pullback from employers<\/strong>, with the employer support score dropping 0.6 points as 83% of markets reported declines. Persistent geopolitical tensions and shifting trade dynamics have left companies cautious, scaling back on employee benefits and flexible pay programs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Governments and financial systems continued to play a stabilizing role<\/strong>, as the global government support score rose 0.6 points, with 35 markets posting gains in one or both pillars. Although the global financial system score slipped by 0.9 points, wealthier regions \u2014 including North America, Europe, and the Middle East \u2014 posted modest improvements, signaling stronger institutional resilience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Gulf states recorded the strongest y-o-y gains in the financial system pillar<\/strong>, fueled by rapid fintech growth and ongoing digital transformation. The UAE led the advance, climbing five positions and 3.9 points to the 24th spot, while Saudi Arabia rose four spots and 1.8 points to rank 35th.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US steadies after earlier declines:<\/strong> The US posted a modest 0.6-point increase in its overall score, snapping two consecutive years of decline while maintaining its seventh place globally. The uptick reflected gains in financial system support, including better access to credit, private lending growth, and fintech expansion. However, broader economic headwinds and subdued SME growth limited further progress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Markets with higher financial literacy and robust digital infrastructure proved more <\/strong><strong>resilient to debt stress in tighter monetary conditions<\/strong>, Principal Asset Management CEO Kamal Bhatia noted. A 1% rise in financial literacy correlates with a 2.8% reduction in household loan defaults and a 6.7% decline in debt-to-income ratios, contributing to long-term GDP growth, the report found. Digital finance reforms \u2014 such as instant payments and open banking \u2014 have also propelled gains in countries like Argentina, South Korea, and Brazil since 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Looking ahead: <\/strong>Geopolitical shocks and economic headwinds are reshaping the path of global financial inclusion, Cebr\u2019s managing economist Pushpin Singh said. He emphasized the need for deeper financial literacy efforts and stronger collaboration among employers, governments, and financial institutions to sustain global progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US-China trade worries are weighing down Asian markets this morning<\/strong>.

Speaking to us this week is Youssef Khattar (LinkedIn), the CEO of Coldwell Banker in Saudi Arabia. <strong>Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>My Name is Youssef Khattar.<\/strong> I began my career in 2003 in training and professional education, before transitioning to real estate in 2006 with Borouge Real Estate in Abu Dhabi. I gained diverse project experience during the UAE boom and adapted to the 2008 downturn. Subsequently, I worked in Riyadh with a number of real estate development firms, specializing in marketing and sales. I then joined Samama Holding, where we established Samama Real Estate Development, building a portfolio exceeding SAR 2 bn in Saudi Arabia and globally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>In 2022, I moved to establish the Coldwell Banker office in Saudi Arabia from scratch. <\/strong>The vision was to build a premier real estate consultancy and brokerage service in a market that, at the time, lacked clear regulations. We became one of the top consultants in the market within three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>My experience as a developer has been invaluable in my role as a consultant<\/strong>, as it has enabled me to understand the challenges from both sides, which allows me to provide more practical and effective advice to clients. We work with big developers like Emaar and with government bodies like the Diriyah Gate Development Authority, the Masar Destination in Makkah, and the National Housing Company. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>My management philosophy focuses on flexibility and knowledge transfer.<\/strong> First, I ensure the team has the flexibility to deliver results, whether they are working from home, the office, a coffee shop, or a client\u2019s site. Second, I need to make sure the knowledge we have is being transferred to the team. I want my team to feel that they are not just here to deliver a service and get a salary; they are here to build their own value. We make it a point to have a \"lesson learned\" session after every project to understand what we can improve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>My time in the early morning is my own.<\/strong> Since my family lives in Dubai, my weeks in Riyadh are very busy. The workday doesn't end at a set time, and I often have informal business meetings in the evenings. The real estate and consulting business in Riyadh is very active at night. The only time I can guarantee for myself is the early morning, before anyone else starts their day. That's my time to relax, exercise, and have my coffee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong> I wake up for Fajr prayer between 4:30-5am<\/strong>, and I prefer to be in the office early at 7:30am. I use the quiet hours at the office for deep work \u2014 reading reports, reviewing emails, and writing. Meetings are typically scheduled between 10am-4pm. I keep one day a week, either Sunday or Thursday, free from external meetings to focus on internal team workshops, planning, and strategy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>I also travel a lot.<\/strong> I usually have one day a week when I travel within Saudi Arabia, to places like Jeddah, Madinah, or Khobar. I am often a guest speaker at international events in places like Shanghai, Hong Kong, or Moscow, and we schedule these visits and engagements quarterly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>On the weekends<\/strong>, I travel to Dubai to be with my family. I schedule my vacations by aligning them with my children's school holidays throughout the year. I take four or five shorter breaks instead of one long one, and this allows me to disconnect and spend quality time with them several times a year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>The best movie I've watched is <\/strong><strong>The Pursuit of Happyness<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> It\u2019s a film I like to rewatch because it teaches you about perseverance and the importance of not giving up, no matter how difficult your circumstances are. It\u2019s also based on a true story, which is what makes it so powerful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>A book that changed my mindset is <\/strong><strong>Secrets of the [M\u2019naire] Mind<\/strong><strong> by T. Harv Eker.<\/strong> I read it around 2008, and it\u2019s not about how to get rich. It\u2019s about understanding that your mindset is programmed by your upbringing, your family, and the society you grew up in. These ideas can create mental blocks that prevent you from growing. The book helps you recognize and reprogram certain limiting beliefs to allow for personal and professional growth. It\u2019s not about a formula for making money, but about changing the way you think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>The best advice I can give is to develop your research skills.<\/strong> In today's world, we have an overload of information. Everyone has access to it, so there is no excuse for not learning. We need to develop our skills not just to learn, but to find the right information and know how to use it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.149999976158142;text-align:left\"><strong>Another piece of advice is to draw your future by learning from those who have come <\/strong><strong>before you. <\/strong>You are not starting from ground zero, as there are people who have already walked the path. I advise anyone starting a new career to find people who are 20 years ahead in the field. Look up CEOs and senior leaders on LinkedIn and study their career history. What courses did they take? Which companies did they work for? How did they progress? You will find common patterns that can serve as a roadmap for your own development.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
