We were delighted to host the May edition of our Transforming Our Region webcast on Tuesday, 20 May at 4:00 PM GST, led by Stephen Anderson, Strategy Leader, Middle East.

Stephen was joined by Muhammad Hassan, Capital Markets Leader, who presented insights from the GCC IPO+ Watch Report for Q1 2025, highlighting the factors driving the current surge in IPOs and how market sentiment is being shaped by global tariff concerns and their potential impact on businesses.

Omara Islam and Nikie van Duurling also shared findings from the latest Middle East Reframing Tax Survey, examining how businesses are transforming operations and reinventing business models, and the growing need for tax to play a strategic role from the outset of decision-making.

We also heard from Jing Teow, Director of Economics & Sustainability, who provided an update on the latest economic trends affecting the region.
