Although some challenges remain, GCC banks are in relatively good condition with positive capitalisation, adequate profitability and comfortable liquidity. Going ahead, a further steady increase in both assets and net profits is expected, with banking activities in the region boosted by further economic growth, rising personal incomes, and continued infrastructure investment. Large infrastructure investments that are planned from Abu Dhabi to Saudi and Qatar will help maintain growth in the region. Foreign direct investment will rise and non-oil activity is also expected to increase.
