GCC fixed income hit a record <\/strong>USD 207.1<\/strong> bn in 2025<\/strong>, fueled primarily by private sector issuances, according to data from Kamco Invest (pdf)<\/a>. The record is just 0.1% above the previous all-time high set in 2024, but the composition of debt issuers changed significantly between the two years. Sovereign borrowing in the GCC actually fell by more than 20% y-o-y in 2025, but that dip was offset by a sharp rise in private sector issuances. <\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n

Behind the sovereign issuance drop:<\/strong> Total bond issuance across the GCC rose 18% y-o-y to USD 125.4 bn last year, but sukuk issuances fell 18.8% y-o-y to USD 81.7 bn during the year. Saudi Arabia, the region's heavyweight, slashed its sovereign sukuk issuance from USD 48.6 bn in 2024 to just USD 10.5 bn in 2025.<\/p>\n

The split:<\/strong> The GCC fixed income issuer market moved closer to a 55% sovereign, 45% corporate split. In Saudi Arabia, corporate sukuk issuance rose to USD 31.7 bn in 2025 from USD 21.0 bn the year before.<\/p>\n

\n

Kuwait and Egypt were the outliers<\/p>\n

While the UAE saw bond issuances drop by USD 5.6 bn to USD 44.4 bn, other regional<\/strong> players went <\/strong>on a borrowing spree.<\/strong> Kuwait saw the most dramatic spike, with bond issuances jumping to USD 17.6 bn in 2025 from just USD 800 mn the year prior. Saudi Arabia ramped up bond issuance by some 30.8% to USD 40.1 bn, even as its sukuk issuances fell 39.4% y-o-y. Egypt also tapped the market aggressively, with bond issuances rising more to USD 30.7 bn. <\/p>\n

Despite Egypt\u2019s increased activity, total bond issuance from non-GCC MENA countries <\/strong>declined<\/strong> overall in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n

What to expect in 2026: Cheaper money and deficit financing<\/p>\n

Kamco expects issuances to remain \u201celevated\u201d this year<\/strong>, supported by expectations that GCC will cut interest rates in line with the US Federal Reserve. Kamco estimates that around USD 85.4 bn of issuance in 2026 will be driven by maturity refinancing, with a further USD 60 bn linked to deficit financing, even as headline fiscal gaps narrow.<\/p>\n

Expect Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to lead sovereign issuance volumes <\/strong>as they fund projected budget deficits. Saudi Arabia\u2019s overall financing needs are projected to drop significantly to USD 58 bn in 2026, down from USD 107 bn in 2025. The Kingdom has already tested investor appetite early, raising USD 11.5 bn in the first week of 2026 after attracting more than USD 29 bn in orders \u2014 eventually pricing inside initial spread guidance.<\/p>\n

\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Stronger expectations of a snap election in Japan pushed the Nikkei to fresh highs, with the index up 1.6% in early trading. Other Asia-Pacific markets are also broadly in the green, with the exception of South Korea\u2019s Kospi, which is just below the flatline. Wall Street futures are also marginally in the red this morning, after financial stocks pulled the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq back from this week\u2019s records. Investors will be keeping an eye out for more earnings results today from Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup. <\/p>\n
