Copy of Copy of Copy of Ipad Frame (32)

The April PMIs for both Saudi Arabia and the UAE remained in expansionary
territory, at 55.2 and 52.7 respectively. Continued recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic drove the readings, with increases in new orders signalling an
improvement in market conditions.

What you will learn:

  • Saudi Aramco surpassed expectations in reporting profit growth of 30% in Q1 2021, following a recovery in the oil market fuelled by vaccine optimism and an upturn in global demand. 
  • Kuwait is to impose a travel ban on unvaccinated citizens from 22 May, but with those who are not eligible to receive the vaccine exempt.
  • Non-Kuwaiti individuals are still not permitted to enter the country.
