Good morning, everyone. <\/strong>We\u2019re entering the final stretch before Ramadan, but as we\u2019ve learned from years past, that doesn\u2019t mean that the news will be slowing down \u2014 what it does mean is we learn to work on (much) less caffeine. <\/p>\n

AI is a big theme in today\u2019s issue<\/strong>, as Abu Dhabi investor MGX backs yet another global AI player, this time Anthropic. This means it has completed a hattrick of sorts with investments in all three major AI players: OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic. We break down what the investor stands to gain from this and more on its playbook in the news well, below. <\/p>\n

Our Planet Finance also looks at AI startup investments last year in the MENA region<\/strong> \u2014 and the numbers show that interest has catapulted across both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and other markets in the region. <\/p>\n

Energy and logistics news is also aplenty in today\u2019s issue<\/strong>, as AD Ports expands its international footprint via a key gateway to Central Africa, and Adnoc\u2019s XRG is making moves on its Argentina LNG project. <\/p>\n

We also have some exclusive color on Presight\u2019s 2025 earnings<\/strong>, along with updates from a plethora of other players.<\/p>\n

Watch this space <\/p>\n

<\/a> LOGISTICS \u2014 Two DP World int\u2019l partners suspend future investments in the <\/strong>company:<\/strong> British International Investment (BII) and Canadian pension fund Caisse de D\u00e9p\u00f4t et Placement du Qu\u00e9bec (CDPQ) suspended<\/a> future investment deployments into DP World projects after DP World CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was named in the files related to the late financier and [redacted] offender Jeffrey Epstein, released earlier this week by the US Department of Justice. <\/p>\n

Why this matters: <\/strong>Both BII and CDPQ are key partners to several DP World projects, with USD bns in pledged investments. CDPQ holds 45% of DP World\u2019s Canada-based subsidiary and has pledged more than USD 8.7 bn for joint projects since 2016, including USD 5 bn<\/a> in UAE-based assets. Meanwhile, government-owned development finance player BII pledged USD 720 mn back in 2021 for a joint Africa-focused platform, which is currently involved in at least five port projects<\/a> in Africa, including Egypt\u2019s Sokhna Port. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/strong>It\u2019s not clear how much of previously committed investments are yet to be deployed, but both investors said the suspension will remain until necessary measures are taken by DP World.<\/p>\n

<\/a> DIVESTMENT WATCH \u2014<\/strong> Adia remains<\/strong> keen to sell OGE stake <\/strong>despite <\/strong>setback:<\/strong> Abu Dhabi Investment Authority\u2019s (Adia) subsidiary Infinity Investments still plans to divest its 24.99% stake in Vier Gas Holdings, the owner of German gas transmission operator Open Grid Europe (OGE), Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing sources familiar with the matter. Other shareholders, British Columbia Investment Management (32.2%) and Meag Munich Ergo Asset Management (18.7%), are also weighing potential exits.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the fund\u2019s first divestment attempt:<\/strong> Infinity Investments was close to selling its stake to energy infrastructure firm Snam for EUR 920 mn<\/a> last year, but German regulators blocked<\/a> the transaction over unmet requirements from Snam. Bloomberg had cited partial Chinese ownership as posing security fears for authorities.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong> The involved parties are in discussions regarding a potential sale, with nothing set in stone for now. The identity of possible buyers and the transaction\u2019s size were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

M&A WATCH \u2014 UAE-based Trueledger Technologies has expressed preliminary interest in<\/strong> acquiring an up to 20% stake in Mumbai-based IT firm <\/strong>Silverline Technologies<\/a><\/strong>, according to a regulatory filing (pdf)<\/a>. The non-binding offer is subject to regulatory approval and open to further negotiations.<\/p>\n

Silverline? <\/strong>The company offers software and enterprise solutions to global clients. It recently debuted a beta version of its in-house AI chatbot and productivity tool, Silver AI, slated for commercial rollout this month. <\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> Gulf capital has shown an increased appetite for Indian AI platforms as firms chase scalable, product-led technology players beyond traditional IT services. Silverline is attempting a pivot from legacy IT services toward a high-margin AI product play. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

<\/a> ECONOMY \u2014<\/strong> The UAE economy is on track to grow by more than 5% this year<\/strong>, fueled by a non-oil sector slated to expand by a 5.5% clip, Economy Minister Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri told state news agency Wam<\/a>. Non-oil activities are also expected to account for 78% of the country\u2019s GDP \u2014 a feat the minister attributes to a massive legislative overhaul that saw more than 40 laws and regulations updated to streamline the business ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The trend to watch:<\/strong> The number of registered companies in the UAE has more than doubled over the last five years, jumping from 650k to over 1.45 mn today. The ministry expects this figure to hit 2 mn by 2031. This expansion has been supported by new regulatory and legislative updates like amendments to the Commercial Companies Law<\/a>, which Al Marri notes has specifically positioned the UAE as a preferred global hub for family businesses to manage international operations.<\/p>\n

How this compares with other forecasts:<\/strong> The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) is more optimistic, with growth penciled in at 5.2% for 2026<\/a>. The IMF is also projecting 2026 growth to come in at 5.0%, while the World Bank holds the most conservative outlook at 4.8%. <\/p>\n

!_InsterLine_!<\/p>\n

<\/a> TELECOMS \u2014 Another subsea route plugs into the UAE:<\/strong> Du is joining the Singapore-India-Gulf (SING) submarine cable system, partnering with Cyprus-based Datawave Networks to land the network in the UAE, Zawya<\/a> reports, citing a press statement. The addition carves out another long-haul corridor into the country\u2019s fast-growing connectivity map.<\/p>\n

About the system:<\/strong> SING will link six hubs \u2014 Kalba, Muscat, Mumbai, Chennai, Kedah, and Singapore \u2014 creating a fresh east-west pathway between Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Gulf. The cable is expected to enter into service in 2030, with Kalba serving as the UAE landing point.<\/p>\n

The move comes amid a wider subsea build-out at home: <\/strong>Most recently, we covered<\/a> e&\u2019s integration of the 45k-km 2Africa cable into live service at its UAE SmartHub data center, bringing the world\u2019s largest subsea system directly into the local market. The projects cement the UAE\u2019s role as a primary landing and routing hub for traffic moving between Asia, Africa, and Europe \u2014 not just a transit stop in global data flows.<\/p>\n

Ramadan hours land soon:<\/strong> Federal employees will work from 9am to 2:30pm from Monday to Thursday during Ramadan, while Fridays will see the day wrap up at 12pm, according to a post on X<\/a> by the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources. Ministries and federal entities will apply flexible work hours during the month, the statement said. They may also permit remote work on Fridays for up to 70% of the workforce, subject to existing rules. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, p<\/strong>rivate <\/strong>sector staff will see their workday shortened by two hours<\/strong>, Wam<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf1eWEATHER- The heatwave is reaching its peak<\/strong>, with the mercury reaching a high of 31\u00b0C in Dubai today, before cooling to an overnight low of 19\u00b0C, while Abu Dhabi will see a high of 32\u00b0C and a low of 17\u00b0C. <\/p>\n

\n

The big story abroad<\/p>\n

Markets are still dominating the conversation in the international business press<\/strong>, with all eyes on the tech rout<\/a> that continues to hit US stocks, after the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 2% yesterday and the S&P 500 fell 1.6%. This came as Cisco\u2019s share price fell 12.3% after it missed its earnings targets, reigniting concerns around the impact of AI on existing industries. <\/p>\n

In another sign that AI is becoming too big to ignore<\/strong>, Anthropic has now raised<\/a> the second largest private tech fundraising round on record, with a USD 30 bn round raised at a USD 380 bn valuation, following OpenAI\u2019s USD 40 bn round last year. The round was co-led by US investment firm Coatue and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC, as well as other investors like ICONIQ and Abu Dhabi AI investor MGX, and includes previous allocations from Microsoft and Nvidia. <\/p>\n

Also: The US administration <\/strong>repealed<\/a><\/strong> Obama-era policies that required automakers to measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong>, with US President Donald Trump claiming it\u2019s a \u201cdisastrous\u201d policy that \u201cseverely damaged the American auto industry and drove up prices for American consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n

AND CLOSER TO HOME- Saudi Arabia <\/strong>replaced<\/a><\/strong> its investment minister<\/strong>, appointing Fahad Al Seif, head of investment strategy and global capital finance at the Public Investment Fund, at the helm of the ministry, and removing his predecessor Khalid Al Falih, who held the role since 2020. The move came as part of a wider cabinet reshuffle that also saw changes in the judicial and grievances spheres. It also comes as the Kingdom reassesses its spending priorities and continues to prioritize attracting investments for the purposes of economic diversification. <\/p>\n

Market watch<\/p>\n

<\/a> The Int<\/strong>ernational Energy Agency (IEA) has cut its 2026 global oil demand <\/strong>growth forecast to 850k bbl \/ d, a 80k bbl \/ d drop from last month<\/strong>, due to economic uncertainty and higher oil prices, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing the agency\u2019s latest monthly report<\/a>. Supply growth was also trimmed to 2.4 mn bbl \/ d from 2.5 mn bbl \/ d, but still runs far ahead of demand. <\/p>\n

The gap:<\/strong> The agency now sees global supply exceeding demand by 3.73 mn bbl \/ d this year, close to last month<\/a> \u2019s projection and equal to roughly 4% of global demand.<\/p>\n

Opec is telling a different story \u2014 as usual:<\/strong> The group held its demand growth outlook steady, penciling in a rise of 1.38 mn bbl \/ d, Reuters<\/a> reported, citing the group\u2019s latest monthly report (pdf)<\/a>. That\u2019s some 530k bbl \/ d in disagreement with the IEA, according to our calculations. <\/p>\n

But even Opec\u2019s own numbers point to near-term softness for its barrels.<\/strong> Demand for Opec+ crude is expected to fall by 400k bbl \/ d in 2Q, with group demand averaging 42.2 mn bbl \/ d, down from 42.6 mn bbl \/ d in 1Q. <\/p>\n

Why this matters:<\/strong> This all comes as we wait for Opec+'s decision for supply after 1Q ends and the pause they said they would take seemingly expires, especially as any abrupt hikes risk turning a manageable surplus into a price problem. <\/p>\n
