In times of local uncertainty, survival is no longer about growth, it has to do with durability. Across the Middle East, especially in the GCC, business are facing increasing pressure: Market volatility Tight liquidity Increasing functional expenses Greater governance expectations Yet, many organizations are still running with limited financial presence and ineffective processes.
From what I'm seeing on the ground, companies that will endure and sustain are those that act now: Enhance capital discipline Not just reporting, but active money forecasting, scenario planning, and working capital optimization. Fix the foundation: processes & controls Clear, recorded, and imposed processes are no longer a "great to have": they are important for stability.
Embed governance and accountability Strong policies, clear ownership, and ethical practices are what safeguard organizations in unsure times. Believe beyond finance, integrate compliance & threat Siloed functions are a luxury companies can no longer pay for. This is not about change for the future. This has to do with stabilization for today. If you're navigating these difficulties, I 'd be happy to exchange viewpoints.
