Business confidence in UAE, rest of GCC hold up despite uncertainty
More than half of business leaders say they are likely to invest in coming
12 months
Confidence of business owners in the UAE and the rest of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) region is holding up despite the current
challenging economic climate.
A survey conducted among 196 business leaders in the GCC over the past six
months showed that business sentiment across the region remains “broadly
positive,” with more than half (52 per cent) of them saying they are “likely
or very likely” to invest in the coming 12 months.
The Business Barometer: GCC CEO Survey was conducted by consultancy firm
Oxford Business Group (OBG) in association with Saudi Hollandi Bank.
Respondents were asked a number of questions on an anonymous basis to
measure their confidence levels and short-term investment plans.
“Despite global media reports that the region is in a period of economic
turmoil, our [survey] results point to a wholly more positive outlook, with
sentiment across the sectors far from weak,” said Oliver Cornock, OBG
managing editor for the Middle East.
Other experts are also saying that the UAE is in a better position to
weather the turmoil compared to its peers in the GCC region. Lindsay Degouve
de Nuncques, head of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (Acca)
Middle East, said that the UAE is starting to reap some of the benefits
after implementing tight fiscal measures following the decline in oil
prices.
"The budget is now in surplus, which means that businesses are feeling more
confident that investment may no longer continue to fall and may even start
to improve soon," she said.
Less than half of the respondents in Oxford's survey said that getting
credit these days is still “easy or very easy,” while nearly six in ten (57
per cent) believe that spending by the government drives less than 40 per
cent of business in their respective sectors.
OBG’s findings echoed the results of another survey which found that global
business confidence in the Middle East has improved despite economic growth
in the region being at a 30-year low.
The latest Global Economic Conditions Survey (GECS) from the Association of
Chartered Certified Accountants (Acca) and Institute of Management
Accountants (Ima) showed that global businesses are now more upbeat about
the region. The business sentiment level is at a 12-month high, boosted by
increased prospects of government spending and recoveries in China and North
America.
Overall business confidence in the region, however, is still lagging behind
other markets outside Africa or the Caribbean, with nearly half of the
respondents (44 per cent) admitting that conditions have worsened.
“The confidence survey highlights that falling state spending and business
investment since the fall in oil prices continues to offer a downbeat
outlook for many firms in the Middle East, although many are feeling
optimistic that they are over the worst,” Nuncques said.
The findings were based on the answers gathered from more than 1,512 finance
professionals and more than 150 chief financial officers around the world.
The global confidence, which is at a 12-month high, has been boosted by
increased prospects of government spending and recoveries in China and North
America.
