For the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the outlook is stability, resilience and, in time, growth.
Despite the pandemic and its deep economic impact, the $2 trillion core GCC banking sector will weather 2020-2021 intact and be poised to benefit significantly from acceleration in the economic diversification programmes implemented by the region’s governments. These programmes are authentic, and the coronavirus pandemic has given every country in the region very strong reasons to implement them more quickly than before. Within five years – almost certainly sooner – the GCC1 will have fewer, bigger, better banks and these banks will be more international, more digital and more customer focused.

Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a campaign to change the addressing systems of platforms at metro stations.
In a move, which is intended to keep pace with the latest international practices of the industry, RTA has decided to assign numbers to the platforms at the metro stations.
Platforms of the Dubai metro stations will now bear numbers rather than end destination names under the campaign.
“Changing the addressing system of the metro platforms involves designating them with numbers instead of end destination station name. The move is intended to keep pace with the latest international practices of the industry,” said Hasan Al Mutawa, Director of Rail Operations, Rail Agency, RTA.
