Good morning, wonderful people, and happy FRIDAY. <\/strong>We wrap the week with positive news, with the Central Bank of the UAE lifting its forecast for GDP this year to 4.9%, up from 4.5% earlier and 4% last year. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in crypto news<\/strong>, UAE-based investment firm Pulsar Group<\/strong> backed Nasdaq-listed treasury Brera<\/strong> \u2014 now rebranded as \u201cSolmate\u201d \u2014 through a USD 300 mn private investment<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

In other investment news<\/strong>, a strategy& report spotlights the GCC\u2019s booming green FDI flows, with the UAE in the lead with USD 106.5 bn in FDI flows between 2020 and 2024. <\/p>\n

\n

WEATHER-<\/strong> It\u2019s another humid day<\/strong>, with the mercury set to peak at 37\u00b0C in Dub<\/strong>ai<\/strong>, with a low of 30\u00b0C at night. In Abu Dhabi<\/strong>, temperatures will reach 40\u00b0C, before dipping to 32\u00b0C at night.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- <\/strong>UAE to potentially downgrade Israel ties over annexation threat? <\/strong>The UAE might downgrade diplomatic relations with Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government proceeds with plans to annex the West Bank, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing sources briefed on Abu Dhabi\u2019s deliberations. Officials had previously warned<\/a> that such a move would cross a \u201cred line.\u201d A full severance of ties is not currently planned, however options being discussed include recalling the UAE\u2019s ambassador to Israel.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- Tensions are already high: <\/strong>Diplomatic ties established under the 2020 Abraham Accords are already strained. The UAE has summoned Israeli diplomats twice this year \u2014 most recently the deputy ambassador<\/a> after an attack on Qatar that President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan described as \u201creckless aggression,\u201d and the ambassador was summoned in May<\/a> following a far-right rally in Jerusalem. The UAE has consistently criticized<\/a> Israeli settlement policies and military actions in Gaza, and it also barred Israeli defense firms from exhibiting at the Dubai Airshow last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- <\/strong>Etihad <\/strong>Airways will begin flying to Damascus from June 2026<\/strong>, adding Syria to its Middle East network for the first time in over a decade, according to a press release<\/a>. The airline will run four weekly flights serviced by Airbus A320 aircraft.<\/p>\n

Why now? <\/strong>There is growing demand for the route, the press release read, and the move comes after the General Civil Aviation Authority greenlit the resumption of flights between the countries in April<\/a>. Earlier on in the year<\/a>, a Syrian Airlines flight to Sharjah was the first international flight from Damascus since the ousting of former President Bashar Al Assad.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #3- Majid Al Futtaim has no immediate plans to replace Carrefour in the UAE:<\/strong> Retail conglomerate Majid Al Futtaim has for now ruled out plans to close Carrefour supermarkets in the UAE, even as it closed outlets in Bahrain<\/a>, Kuwait, Oman<\/a>, and Jordan<\/a> in recent months due to what it called \u201cchallenging\u201d retail conditions, retail division CEO G\u00fcnther Helm told Dubai Eye (listen<\/a>, runtime: 34:00)<\/a>. The group, which operates Carrefour in 12 markets, also told Khaleej Times<\/a> there are \u201cno immediate plans\u201d to introduce HyperMax \u2014 the chain replacing Carrefour elsewhere \u2014 to the UAE, where Carrefour remains its flagship brand.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> In markets where Carrefour has exited, stores were rebranded as HyperMax, a locally focused grocery chain. Majid Al Futtaim has opened 44 outlets across Jordan and Oman, and six in Bahrain. The rollout followed pressure over Carrefour\u2019s perceived stance on the Gaza conflict \u2014 though the company emphasized that the decision to exit was theirs alone and not influenced by the French brand.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about local demand: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s not a financial decision. It\u2019s really about listening to the needs of the customers,\u201d Helm noted. The launch of HyperMax came \u201cin response to a growing demand for locally sourced products and services in a number of our markets,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

\n

#4- Clou<\/strong>dKitchens taps banks for regional IPO:<\/strong> California-based CloudKitchen, backed by Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund (PIF), is in talks with banks to arrange an IPO of its Middle East unit, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing sources familiar with the matter. First Abu Dhabi Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and SNB Capital are reportedly in the running to organize the offering.<\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> The virtual restaurant startup was first reported to be eyeing an IPO either in the UAE or Saudi Arabia in May<\/a>, with a dual listing reportedly being in the cards. Reports at the time said it had also tapped Goldman Sachs to arrange a possible debut.<\/p>\n

DATA POINTS- <\/p>\n

One third<\/strong> of registered trademarks in the UAE last year were homegrown: <\/strong>Emirati brands accounted for around one third, or 10.6k, of the UAE\u2019s total registered trademarks last year, according to Economy and Tourism Ministry data picked up by Al Bayan<\/a>. Trademark registrations from national brands came primarily from the food and beverage, real estate development, technology, construction, energy, and financial services sectors.<\/p>\n

Chinese trademarks followed in second<\/strong>, with 2.7k registrations, while US trademarks rank third with nearly 2.6k. Gulf trademarks totaled 1.5k, led by a 1.1k contribution from Saudi Arabia. Trademarks from elsewhere in the Arab world accounted for 500, led mainly by Egyptian brands with 205 registered trademarks. The number of registered trademarks was up 94% last year compared to 2022, according to data from the Economy and Tourism Ministry.<\/p>\n

PSAs- <\/p>\n

#1- <\/strong>Dubai<\/strong> homeowners can now make recurring community and property service<\/strong> payments <\/strong>automatically<\/strong>, after Itihad Community Management adopted the CBUAE\u2019s Direct Debit System, according to a press release<\/a>. Under the system, homeowners can authorize recurring payment mandates and schedule payments made through bank accounts, as well as debit and credit cards, eliminating the need for paperwork.<\/p>\n

#2- Y<\/strong>ou can now report public transport damage via your smartphone<\/strong>, after Dubai\u2019s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) launched Madinati \u2014 a smart reporting system letting people flag issues related to public transport facilities like pavements, bus stops, and road signals, according to a statement<\/a>. Users can report issues by sending a photo via WhatsApp which are then sent on to the right department to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY- <\/p>\n

#1- The Ajman Department of Tourism Development\u2019s roadshow in In<\/strong>dia wraps today<\/strong>, state news agency Wam<\/a> reports. The initiative had aimed to showcase Ajman\u2019s tourism projects and attractions while deepening ties with Indian operators and industry partners. The roadshow aims to raise Ajman\u2019s international profile, grow visitors numbers, and attract new investment into the emirate\u2019s tourism sector through meetings, events, and potential agreements with Indian stakeholders. <\/p>\n

#2- India\u2019s Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, wraps his t<\/strong>wo-day visit to the UAE<\/strong> today.<\/strong> The minister co-chaired the India-UAE High Level Task Force on Investments with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority managing director Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and is scheduled to meet with several UAE ministers and business leaders, including National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to discuss strengthening trade and investment ties, the Economic Times<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Discussions during the task force meeting f<\/strong>ocused on building on the comprehensive economic <\/strong>partnership agreement and expanding cooperation<\/strong> into sectors such as maritime and space, CNBC TV18<\/a> reports. Talks are also set to cover the double taxation treaty, closer coordination between the two countries\u2019 central banks, and deeper engagement through the UAE-India Business Council roundtable with CEOs from leading Emirati and Indian firms.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD- <\/p>\n

A single business story is dominating the international business press: <\/strong>US chipmaker Nvidia<\/strong> has invested USD 5 bn<\/strong> to acquire a 4% stake in rival, struggling chipmaker Intel<\/strong>, weeks after the US government bought into the company. The two firms will together develop PC and data center chips, while Intel\u2019s contract manufacturing business will supply processors and packaging for joint products. <\/p>\n

A massive lifeline for Intel:<\/strong> The firm, which has been struggling to match the pace of the industry in AI, is getting direct access to future AI infrastructure through the acquisition, analysts say. Intel\u2019s shares surged nearly 23% on the news. <\/p>\n

The story is everywhere in the business press:<\/strong> Reuters<\/a> | CNBC<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a> <\/p>\n

IN OTHER NVIDIA-RELATED NEWS- Nvidia is the newfound focus for China in US trade talks<\/strong>, after the country dropped its probe into Google ahead of US President Donald Trump and China\u2019s XI Jinping call today. The country had earlier decided to investigate Google for anti-monopoly practices, after being slapped with massive tariffs that were later lowered by the US. Nvidia is now the subject of a similar probe, after China\u2019s cyberspace regulator found it violated anti-monopoly laws with its USD 7 bn acquisition of Israel\u2019s Mellanox Technologies in 2020. (Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a>) <\/p>\n

Over in France, hundreds of thousands took to the streets yesterday to protest the previous government\u2019s fiscal plans<\/strong>, including looming budget cuts, with unions at the helm. France\u2019s new prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, has pledged to find a way for a budget that helps address the country\u2019s debt issues and provide new policy directions. (Reuters<\/a> | WSJ<\/a> | Guardian<\/a> | AP<\/a>)<\/p>\n
