Arabia will outgrow every other major Gulf oil producer this year<\/strong> despite the conflict choking traffic through Hormuz. The World Bank trimmed the Kingdom\u2019s 2026 growth forecast to 3.1% in its June Global Economic Prospects <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/6\/795.pdf\" style=\"\">report (pdf)<\/a>, down 1.2 percentage points from its January forecasts, but still the shallowest downgrade in the GCC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The gap is wide: <\/strong>The bank sees Qatar\u2019s economy shrinking 5.7% this year, while Kuwait is set for a 6.3% contraction and Iraq an even bigger 8.9%. The UAE and Oman are both forecasted to grow 2.4%, 0.7 percentage points below Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The credit goes to the East-West pipeline<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/05\/11\/aramco-net-income-jumps-in-1q-courtesy-of-the-east-west-pipeline\/\" style=\"\">running oil<\/a> from the Eastern Province to Yanbu, which is letting Riyadh maintain a chunk of exports, the bank said.

The disruption keeping energy markets tight will prove a near-term revenue boost for oil producers still able to export through the strait, the bank added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s all about the strait. <\/strong>The baseline assumes shipping stays severely disrupted through July before normalizing by year-end, with Saudi growth rebounding to 4.9% in 2027 \u2014 an upgrade of half a point from January projections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The risk lives in the downside scenario: <\/strong>If Hormuz stays effectively shut into 4Q 2026, Brent surges to USD 115 \/ bbl and global growth drops to 2.1%.

href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/11\/will-pif-continue-funding-liv-golf-through-the-rest-of-the-season\/\" style=\"\">Saudi Arabia lifted a ban on Lebanese imports<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The ban \u2014 first <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/saudi-crown-prince-orders-resumption-lebanese-exports-2026-06-10\/\" style=\"\">imposed in 2021<\/a><\/strong><strong> over illicit substances smuggled through legitimate <\/strong><strong>cargo \u2014 severed what had once been one of Beirut\u2019s most lucrative export channels.<\/strong> Saudi Arabia was routinely Lebanon\u2019s second- or third-largest export market, absorbing 8-8.5% of total shipments, or USD 243-246 mn between 2017-2019, Byblos Bank Chief Economist Nassib Ghobril tells EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Saudi Arabia is also key for Lebanon\u2019s exports because it served as a transit corridor for <\/strong><strong>Lebanese goods bound for the rest of the Gulf.<\/strong> When the ban took hold, exports slowed significantly in 2022 before fundamentally stopping altogether by 2023, Ghobril says. In 2025, with zero Saudi trade, Lebanon\u2019s trade deficit ballooned to nearly USD 17 bn \u2014 a devastating figure for an economy already starved for hard currency. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Manufacturers in Lebanon survived the export winter in part by relocating to Oman, the <\/strong><strong>UAE, or Egypt<\/strong> \u2014 if they could afford to do so \u2014 and re-emerge as local firms shipping into Saudi Arabia under non-Lebanese flags. But even if the people behind these exports were Lebanese, the goods were exports erased from Lebanon\u2019s ledger and that capacity is now being counted under other countries\u2019 data. Smaller exporters and farmers, however, were unable to make that jump due to financial and practical constraints and ultimately absorbed the full blow. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Now, with the export reopening, Lebanese producers are ready to jump back into <\/strong><strong>Saudi-bound exports<\/strong>, Ghobril says. Years of crisis have driven down local production costs (even if they\u2019ve risen in recent weeks due to war-related oil price spikes), while agricultural output, including apples and poultry, has swung into surplus. This resumption is what Ghobril calls a \u201cpositive shock\u201d that will help incrementally narrow the country\u2019s trade deficit and pull FX into a banking system still reeling from collapse

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When it comes to spreads, they\u2019ve tightened significantly since the beginning of the war<\/strong>, with investment-grade names seeing spreads tighter than they were at the start of the war, Amwal Capital Co-Head of Fixed Income Zeina Rizk tells us. Banking and real estate firms\u2019 spreads are still wider than pre-war levels, she adds. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The pricing premium, however, is nothing alarming or exceptional given the geopolitical situation<\/strong>, Ahsan explains. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cI believe investors are generally receptive to new issues from across the region, as we have seen strong demand for the new [transactions]<\/strong>,\u201d Ahsan says. \u201cSpreads are slightly elevated and base yield levels have moved higher, which makes all-in yields attractive,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Already, June is starting off strong. <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-06-03\/bahrain-taps-dollar-bond-market-hours-after-iran-missile-attack\" style=\"\">Bahrain<\/a> was the first Gulf sovereign to return to public debt markets since the war, and Dubai Islamic Bank became the latest bank to issue an AT1 sukuk, raising USD 1 bn at almost prewar-level spreads, Ahsan says. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Looking ahead<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cWe see activity continuing in June before taking a breather in July and August<\/strong> due to the summer lull,\u201d Ahsan says. Rizk also expects issuances to pause ahead of the US Federal Reserve\u2019s FOMC next week, before it resumes depending on market conditions. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Rizk is skeptical that the Fed will move at all. <\/strong>With CPI data coming in largely neutral and payrolls strong, she says arguments exist in both directions, but her base case is that the Fed stays on hold for the rest of the year \u2014 absent a significant shift.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Most activity will likely be from corporates, both investment-grade and non-investment-grade<\/strong>, as sovereigns have already raised plenty of funding from private placements, Ahsan points out. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/debt\/\">debt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/debt-watch\/\">debt watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/sukuk\/\">sukuk<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"110018\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"110018\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ALSO ON OUR RADAR<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/14\/more-global-asset-managers-get-their-saudi-licence-new-rules-for-avs\/\">\r\n                            New asset managers enter the market                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/14\/more-global-asset-managers-get-their-saudi-licence-new-rules-for-avs\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
