THE IRAN WAR FALLOUT FOR FINANCIAL MARKETS, CAPITAL FLOWS, AND SOVEREIGN RISK - Join the Atlantic Council’s MENA Futures Lab for the second edition of its virtual event series, GCC economies amid the Middle East war: Geopolitics, financial markets, and structural transformation.
This discussion will explore the financial and market implications of the current Middle East conflict for GCC economies. Geopolitical tensions and security disruptions are affecting trade flows, energy exports, shipping routes, and broader balance-of-payments dynamics across the region. These impacts carry implications for financial markets and investor sentiment.
Regional experts and financial analysts will assess how financial systems and capital markets in the Gulf are responding. Panelists will examine sovereign bond markets, banking sector liquidity, and investor demand for Gulf assets during periods of uncertainty, as well as the institutional strengths that have helped Gulf markets remain stable.
