Transforming our Region:

PwC’s 29th Global CEO Survey:​ Middle East findings ​

  • January 27, 2026

We were delighted to be joined by colleagues and guests for this month’s edition of the Transforming Our Region webcast on Tuesday, 27 January, hosted by Stephen Anderson, Chief Strategy & Technology Officer, PwC Middle East.

Stephen was joined by Mona AbouHana, Chief Corporate & Network Officer; Jing Teow, Economics & Sustainability Partner; and Romil Radia, Regional Valuation Partner and Deals COO, PwC Middle East, who presented the key findings from PwC’s 29th Global CEO Survey: Middle East findings.

This year’s survey delivered our most comprehensive perspective to date, drawing on insights from over 300 CEO responses across 11 countries. It provided a clear view of the regional macroeconomic outlook, growth and investment priorities, AI-led transformation agendas, and leadership confidence amid rapid technological change and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.

The message from Middle East CEOs was clear and compelling: confidence is rising, ambition is accelerating, and transformation is imperative to create long-term value.
