  • Lower Oil Prices Challenge Saudi Fiscal Policy

    Oil prices have slumped in recent weeks. Brent fell from close to $88 per barrel in early July to $71/bbl in early September. Growing worries about the impact of slower economic growth in China and the United States on the demand for oil have offset the production outage in Libya and periodic concerns about potential supply disruptions from a broadening conflict in the Middle East.

  • Dozens killed, wounded in Israeli strikes on Gaza tent camp

    Israeli strikes tore a huge crater, set tents ablaze and buried Palestinian families alive under sand in a supposedly safe zone of southern Gaza before dawn on Tuesday, killing or wounding scores of people, according to Palestinian officials.  Israel said it had struck a command centre for Hamas fighters whom it said had infiltrated the designated "humanitarian" area in al-Mawasi, a vast camp on sandy soil where the military has told hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to shelter since ordering them out of their homes.

  • Time to retire ‘Arab-Israeli conflict’?

    The experience of the past 11 months has led many experts on the region like myself to reassess that term.

Should we retire that term for good now that the conflict has widened, drawing in the United States and Iran–and potentially Turkey and others in the coming years?

  • Russia invites Saudi Crown Prince to October BRICS summit

    Russia has invited Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, to attend a BRICS summit in the city of Kazan from 22-24, Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said on Monday.

    Saudi Arabia has launched $1.3 trillion in real estate and infrastructure projects over the past eight years as part of its plan to diversify the economy away from oil and become a more attractive place to live, work and travel. About $164 billion worth of real estate contracts have been awarded since 2016, when Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman unveiled his strategy to wean the country off its dependence on petrodollars and improve the quality of life for locals.

  • Saudi Arabia’s Economic Growth Defies Regional Instability

    The report says that Saudi oil exports are not dependent on the Red Sea, where Iran-backed Houthis have targeted commercial ships, in what they say is in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Likewise, Saudi Arabia’s tourism numbers "remain strong". In general, the IMF painted a rosy picture of Saudi Arabia’s economy, with a strong banking system, growing home ownership and "robust" non-oil economic growth. The report underscores the divergence between Gulf economies and those of poorer states like Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan, whose already weak economies have been battered by Israel’s war.
