The latest forecasts of the Arab Investment and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (Daman) showed that the performance of the Arab economy as a whole will be positive for the year 2025, with an expected growth rate of 4.1 percent. This is more optimistic than the World Bank's forecast, which has forecast that the economy in the Middle East and North Africa will grow by about 3.3 percent this year, up from 2024 levels due to uncertainty and uncertainty due to the war in Gaza.
According to Daman, the Arab GDP grew last year by 1.8 percent, to exceed $ 3.6 trillion. Growth continued with geographical concentration in five countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, and Algeria, with a share of more than 72 percent of the total growth in the Arab region in general.
