GCC in a better position than bourses in the West

The global financial distress has created a strong link between world stock markets and the oil-rich Gulf but regional bourses remain fundamentally in a better position, a key Saudi investment fund said yesterday.

NCB Capital said the companies in the markets of the six-nation GCC enjoy better asset quality and superior earnings given the massive size of toxic assets in the United States and other Western markets.

In a study, it said it expected an end to the tight relationship between regional markets and those of the West once the global economy begins to recover.
