The GDP for the current fiscal year (FY26) is estimated at 7.4%.

Despite a manufacturing surge, the paradox of strong fundamentals with a weakening currency and capital flow volatility implies the cost of doing business remains tied to external shocks (including the steep US tariffs and an uncertain global trade environment) rather than just local demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>World\u2019s fourth-largest economy <\/strong>Despite steep US tariffs on Indian exports, the economy is expected to cross the USD 4 tn mark in FY 2026, powered by a manufacturing surge and internal reforms.

More and more Indians are pivoting towards the UAE as it offers lower fees and a \u201cforeseeable structure to what life after the degree looks like,\u201d Praneet Singh, Assistant Vice President (University Partnerships) of global education platform upGrad <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.upgrad.com\/study-abroad\" style=\"\">Study Abroad<\/a>, told EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There has been a <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/leap-scholar-global-student-mobility-report-2025\/\" style=\"\">55x surge<\/a><\/strong><strong> in Indian student interest in the UAE<\/strong>.

A postgraduate degree costs roughly USD 35k in the UAE, roughly half of a program in the US\/UK programmes which costs USD 70k in the US, he said. Living costs in Dubai come at around USD 11k versus USD 25k in New York or London. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Investments by global universities in the UAE are \u201cindicative signals\u201d that lower perceived academic risk<\/strong> and position the Gulf as a credible alternative to traditional Western destinations, according to Singh.

M&A is set to be a key tool for capturing gains as themes like tech and post-globalization dominate the investment scene.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Activity looks set to hold up: <\/strong>About 80% of M&A executives expect to sustain or increase transaction activity this year, as the macro backdrop improves and a growing number of assets are ripe for exiting. Boards are likely to set higher ROI thresholds as acquisitions compete head-to-head with dividends, buybacks, reinvestment via capex, and R&D, and reconsider the importance of accessing assets through resilient supply chains, as well as simply owning them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Among the trends set to shape M&A flows next year:<\/strong> AI, which had a foot in over half of all tech-related takeovers last year. While lots of emerging tech is still in the early stages, sectors linked to technology like machinery and equipment are set for a big year, following on from 2025, which saw 20% of tech acquisitions involve manufacturing equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AI is quietly reshaping the workflow: <\/strong>Beyond influencing what gets bought, Bain points to rising use of AI in diligence to stress-test cost, revenue, and integration assumptions, reflecting lower tolerance for narrative-driven underwriting as competition intensifies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A shifting geopolitical landscape will see a flurry of alignment and divestment<\/strong>, with M&A a way for companies to either retrench in line with international partners or pull back and divest from others as they evaluate trade-offs including proximity to clients and supply chains. In 2025, 70% of executives told Bain that trade restriction policies would not affect divestment plans \u2014 but fragmentation is reshaping how capital is deployed, driving greater use of minority stakes, joint ventures, and carve-outs to manage risk without full balance-sheet exposure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Another sign of the times is the cutting out of the middle man<\/strong>, as traditional intermediate players are bypassed with firms going straight to the source with consumers, shaking up where capital is directed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>By the industry: <\/strong>Private equity in defense is rising sharply, with Europe being an epicenter for agreements, medtech agreement valuations are being led by divestitures and spin-offs, and the mining industry is pivoting from greenfield projects to acquisitions. In oil and gas, M&A is increasingly being dominated by a few big names, while in pharma, trendy, next-gen drugs are leading big pharma to snap up smaller fish to secure an end-to-end pipeline. Over in software, the focus is on identifying future-proof AI takeover targets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>**Missed our <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/12\/22\/year-of-the-megadeals-and-ai-acquisitions\/\" style=\"\">2025 coverage<\/a><\/strong><strong>? <\/strong>We wrote that global M&A snapped back unevenly last year: transaction value surged while volumes lagged, tech \u2014 especially AI-linked transactions \u2014 carried the rebound, scope strategies hit record share, and M&A still lost the budget fight as companies kept acquisition spending at roughly 7% of total capital allocation, with capex and R&D taking priority. <strong> <\/strong>   <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/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\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Asian markets were mixed this morning, with South Korea\u2019s Kospi and Japan\u2019s Nikkei both in the green, and China\u2019s CSI 300 and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng in the red.
