style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Two months into<\/strong><strong> the (albeit shaky) ceasefire, Gulf companies and sovereigns are <\/strong><strong>slowly returning to debt markets<\/strong>, with May seeing USD 11.2 bn in issuances across the region, Bank Nizwa\u2019s Senior Head of Treasury and Global Markets Muhammad Ahsan tells EnterpriseAM \u2014 but the window hasn\u2019t opened for everyone. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The figure is not too bad when you consider the ongoing geopolitical uncertainties in the region<\/strong>, with multiple instances of the US and Iran exchanging fire, and a week of Eid holidays, Ahsan tells us. <\/p>\n<p 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 at tighter than they were at the start of the war, Amwal Capital Co-Head of Fixed Income Zeina Risk tells us.

The survey shows a net employment outlook (NEO) of 17%, down 43 points q-o-q and 31 points y-o-y, with 25% anticipating making cuts and 42% of employers looking to increase headcount.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s geopolitics, silly<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>\u201cAmong employers expecting to reduce staff, 49% cite geopolitical challenges as negatively affecting their staffing decision,\u201d compared with 37% who pointed to economic pressures, a spokesperson from ManPower Group tells EnterpriseAM.

Those sectors are, unsurprisingly, trade and logistics, which saw the steepest y-o-y decline with outlook falling 71% and remaining negative, and hospitality, which though still positive at +21%, has been \u201cseverely impacted relative to its position at the same time last year,\u201d they say, adding that \u201cthe departure of tourists and expatriates hit this sector early and hard.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In context: <\/strong>The war hit at a peak time for the sector, in the final couple of months before the summer lull which usually see tourism traffic increase due to a packed events schedule and good weather. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The construction and real estate, utilities, and professional services sectors also recorded declines in outlook <\/strong>but remained in positive territory amid ongoing megaproject delivery, the spokesperson says<strong>. <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s harder the smaller<\/strong><strong> you are:<\/strong> Among those looking to hire, larger employers were the most confident, with a 35% hiring outlook, while companies with fewer than 10 employees were eyeing expansion with a 29% NEO.

The risk premium on BDC bonds over US Treasuries has snapped back to levels last seen in February, with some analysts expecting spreads to tighten further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Plus: Attractive yields could help give a boost to the sector.<\/strong> Man Group\u2019s Chief Investment Officer Kevin Marchetti told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/06\/11\/man-group-private-credit-higher-rates.html\" style=\"\">CNBC<\/a> that a spike in benchmark interest rates in the US on the back of an inflation uptick could lead to more attractive yields, especially for more disciplined lenders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The bear case hasn't gone away, though. <\/strong>Underlying stressors remain \u2014 some BDCs face credit rating downgrades, and a possible mismatch between redemptions and fundraising looms.

Then one of the largest US asset managers approached him with a bigger challenge: bringing bns of USD worth of real estate assets on-chain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That became Integra, a layer-one blockchain purpose-built for real estate. <\/strong>The platform is working with asset managers and developers across the US and the UAE and says it has gathered more than USD 12 bn worth of assets in the pipeline. Its first USD 72 mn US property is expected to come on-chain following the launch of its mainnet later this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Each week, My Morning Routine looks at how a successful member of the community starts their day <\/strong>\u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun. This week, we spoke with Piyush Gupta (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ae.linkedin.com\/in\/piyush-polytrade\" style=\"\">LinkedIn<\/a>), CEO of Integra, about real estate tokenization, AI agents, why he built a dedicated blockchain for property, and how AI has reshaped his own workday. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: For readers who may not be familiar with Integra, tell us what the company does.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Piyush Gupta (PG): <\/strong>Think of it as creating a supply chain for a single asset class on a single blockchain. I\u2019ve been in the real-world assets space for almost six years now. We built a company called Polytrade, a tokenized marketplace, and last year we were approached by one of the largest asset managers in the US, Niket Capital, which manages around USD 4 bn in assets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>They wanted to tokenize their asset base, but we felt Polytrade as an app wasn\u2019t doing justice to the whole proposition.<\/strong> We sat down with a few council members and asked: Why don\u2019t we launch a layer-one blockchain purpose-built for real estate?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The more we thought about it, the more obvious the problem became. <\/strong>The tokenization space is highly fragmented. People are trying to do too many things on the same blockchain, making it difficult to bring together liquidity, tokenization companies, developers, asset managers, and investors in one place and seamlessly transact with one another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Integra says it has gathered more than USD 12 bn worth of assets across the US and the UAE. How much of that is actually live on-chain today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PG:<\/strong> The assets will start coming on-chain once we go live on the mainnet. Right now, we\u2019re still on testnet, where we\u2019ve already processed over 9 mn transactions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We didn\u2019t expect that level of transaction volume<\/strong>, but it\u2019s been a great way to stress-test both the blockchain and the infrastructure behind it. We\u2019re very happy with the results so far and will likely continue running the testnet for another month or so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In the meantime<\/strong>, our first US asset \u2014 a property worth around USD 72 mn \u2014 is receiving final lender approvals and should be coming on-chain shortly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: How does the <\/strong><strong>investment climate<\/strong><strong> differ between the US and the UAE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PG:<\/strong> The US assets are more mature. These are existing properties with established investor bases, and the asset manager has been managing them for almost ten years. Bringing them on-chain is about creating secondary liquidity for those existing investors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The UAE market is a little different. <\/strong>We\u2019re working with a DIFC-based real estate fund managing around USD 300 mn that acquires residential buildings with strong cashflow yields and is looking to tokenize its fund units. We\u2019re also working with a developer whose portfolio is largely off-plan. Those assets require additional regulatory approvals before tokenization can happen, so we\u2019re working with regulators to explore how investors and retail participants can access off-plan real estate through tokenization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: A major part of your vision involves AI. How do you see AI agents participating in real estate transactions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PG:<\/strong>The last four to six months have completely changed the way businesses operate. From a team of almost 25 people, today we are a team of four. AI has literally taken over everything. Our blockchain is being managed and operated by AI with zero human interference. Even our motto has changed. Integra is no longer just a blockchain \u2014 it\u2019s an AI-powered blockchain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019re now building two businesses. <\/strong>One is asset tokenization, and the other is providing autonomous AI solutions to real estate companies. As we speak, we\u2019re building around 18 AI automation products for a US client. Real estate businesses are operationally heavy, with a lot of manual and repetitive work that can now be automated through AI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When it comes to AI agents negotiating transactions, I think we\u2019re still too early to give them that level of authority on behalf of users. <\/strong>What they can do is reach a reasonably conclusive outcome before humans intervene. Agents can go out into the market, screen properties, negotiate within predefined limits, and come back with the best available outcome. The human then decides whether to proceed. That\u2019s where the real fun happens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Why do you think real estate tokenization continues to attract so much attention?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PG:<\/strong>I still think we\u2019re far from true adoption. Last year, we were very encouraged when the Dubai Land Department launched its pilot around tokenized title deeds. To my knowledge, no country had attempted something like that before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What motivates us is the scale of the <\/strong><strong>market potential<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Almost 75% of global wealth sits in real estate, yet it\u2019s one of the oldest and slowest-moving asset classes. Why should it remain archaic? If somebody in the US wants to participate in a UAE asset, they should be able to do that seamlessly. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Let's talk about your morning routine. What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PG:<\/strong>Life has changed completely over the last four months. Earlier, you\u2019d wake up, chase your team, get updates from marketing and development, ask how many calls were booked, and try to figure out what was happening across the business. We used to start the day stressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Today, we don\u2019t do morning calls anymore. <\/strong>There are dashboards giving us live updates on everything happening across the network, so I wake up, look at the dashboards, and decide where I need to focus my energy. If everything is running smoothly, we start building new products. Thanks to AI and the tools available today, products that used to take months can now be built in weeks. The day has become much smoother and much lighter. It allows us to focus on specific areas instead of spreading our energy everywhere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: And after work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PG:<\/strong>Recent geopolitical events have made me realize the value of life and family. Everything else is secondary. From around 5pm or 6pm onward, I try to reduce my calls so I can spend quality time with my kids after they come home from school. I find that more rejuvenating than anything else.<\/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\">Piyush's favorites<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What he\u2019s reading:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/41881472-the-psychology-of-money\" style=\"\">The Psychology of Money<\/a> by Morgan Housel. It\u2019s one of my favorite books because it teaches the basics of how money operates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What he watches: <\/strong>Thrillers. Anything that\u2019s a thriller is my go-to choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Best advice he\u2019s received: <\/strong>\u201cDon't try to sell diamonds to somebody who doesn\u2019t understand diamonds.\u201d It came from a conversation about tokenizing diamonds. The lesson was simple: don\u2019t try to sell an asset to people who aren\u2019t your buyers. Instead, bring the entire supply chain on-chain and solve the industry\u2019s core problems.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
