However, output prices fell in May, as competitive market conditions led to a sharp decrease in service sector charges, \u201ccontrasting with rising prices in manufacturing, construction and wholesale & retail,\u201d National Bank of Kuwait's Issa Hijazeen told EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The future\u2019s looking bright for Saudi businesses:<\/strong> \u201cLooking ahead, sentiment among non-oil firms has strengthened visibly.

economy<\/strong>, with 56% of 3.5k survey respondents showing optimism, and only 17% expressing pessimism, according to a 2024 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/6\/268.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">survey (pdf)<\/a> by US management consulting firm Oliver Wyman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Half of the respondents reported increasing confidence in the economy<\/strong>, while 19% said their confidence had declined. Younger consumers, aged 18 to 29, were less optimistic than the general population, with only 49% of them expressing optimism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Consumer spending is rising faster than income growth<\/strong>, with 41% of respondents reporting a decline in their savings. Consequently, consumers are inclined to save more, with 39% planning to cut back on food, 38% planning to spend less on entertainment and home furnishings, and 37% aiming to buy fewer electronics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When it comes to buying decisions, price is the main factor:<\/strong> Price emerged as the top factor across most categories, led by entertainment (cited by 33% of respondents), followed by groceries (31%), dining out (29%), home and furniture (28%), and electronics (25%). Quality followed closely, particularly in groceries (according to 34% of respondents) and electronics and dining out (27% each), while promotion of discounts came close behind, especially in electronics, fashion, and entertainment. Brand reputation, convenience, and customer service ranked lower in importance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Brick and mortar stores are still Saudis\u2019 top choice<\/strong>, especially when it comes to groceries (66%), home and furniture (47%), dining out (46%), and fashion (37%). Online shopping, however, leads in electronics, with 45% of respondents preferring it, followed by fashion (44%) and entertainment (34%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some market wisdom: <\/strong>To help retailers stay competitive, the report recommends blending affordability and quality through smarter assortments, off-price models, targeted promotions, and private labels. A broader strategy should also include cost-efficient operations, reinvestment in personalization and tech upgrades, and the use of AI and automation.<\/p>\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\/ecommerce\/\">Ecommerce<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/economy\/\">ECONOMY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/retail\/\">Retail<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/shopping\/\">Shopping<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/technology\/\">Technology<\/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=\"97701\" 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=\"97701\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">REGULATION WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/06\/04\/cma-rolls-out-a-new-offshore-securities-business-license\/\">\r\n                            CMA rolls out a new offshore securities business license                        <\/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\/2025\/06\/04\/cma-rolls-out-a-new-offshore-securities-business-license\/\" 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();

The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/5\/2153.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">draft framework (pdf)<\/a>, published by the Capital Market Authority (CMA), is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/istitlaa.ncc.gov.sa\/ar\/Trade\/CMA\/OffshoreSecuritiesBusinessLicense\/Pages\/default.aspx\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">open for feedback until 28 June<\/a> and is part of ongoing efforts to position the Kingdom as a global financial hub. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A streamlined track:<\/strong> The framework outlines capital requirements, registration conditions, and financial adequacy standards, while also defining restrictions on how licenses holders are expected to operate. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s on the table: <\/strong>License holders will be able to conduct securities activities offshore, manage funds investing in Saudi securities, and offer services to international clients and a defined category of local investors. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Who\u2019s eligible?<\/strong> Both local and international firms can apply, provided they have a head office in the Kingdom, and operate through a regional headquarters licensed by the Investment Ministry. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters: <\/strong>The new license is set to shake up domestic capital markets by allowing local and international firms to operate beyond the Kingdom\u2019s borders.

In contrast, the eurozone will inch forward, with growth picking up slightly to 1.0% in 2025 and 1.2% in 2026, from just 0.8% in 2024.

Inflation is seen by the OECD rising slightly by 0.2 percentage points y-o-y to 1.9% in 2025, before easing to 1.8% in 2026, ranking among the top three lowest inflation rates among G20 countries. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Trump tariffs bite: <\/strong>The OECD cited President Donald Trump\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/ff9aa495-0d2a-4657-a240-60a00ce75f89\/this-morning:-low-economic-risk-this-year,-fitch-says-%2B-dubai%25e2%2580%2599s-first-ever-tokenized-real-estate-asset-was-fully-funded-in-the-first-day\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">recently enacted tariffs<\/a> as a major drag and risk for economies. The effective tariff rate has jumped from 2.5% to over 15% \u2014 the highest since WWII \u2014 and could keep US inflation elevated around 4% into 2025, the FT reports. That\u2019s likely to delay any rate cuts from the Federal Reserve; however, policy rate cuts could follow in countries more shielded from trade tensions if inflation stays under control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Global inflation is easing, but slowly:<\/strong> Inflation across G20 economies is expected to decline to 3.6% in 2025 and 3.2% in 2026.
