In under a decade, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has transformed into one of the fastest-growing fintech markets worldwide. The region’s fintech industry was valued at USD 169.92 billion in 2023, expanding at a year-on-year growth rate of 27.8%. By 2033, the market is forecast to nearly quadruple, driven by a 15.68% CAGR.

The GCC continues to shine brightly on the global investment map. Its robust growth economy, favourable tax regimes, and dynamic landscape are undeniable magnets for fund managers and investors seeking opportunity.

Saudi Arabia represents one of the world's most dynamic Islamic finance markets, offering unprecedented opportunities for family offices seeking Shari'a-compliant investments. With Vision 2030 driving economic diversification and the Kingdom's position as the largest Islamic economy globally, sophisticated investors are increasingly looking to Saudi Arabia as a cornerstone of their Islamic investment portfolios.
