Better times ahead for Gulf financiers, says Moody's | ZAWYA MENA Edition:
"The banking sector in the Gulf is likely to benefit from credit growth in 2018 as activity in the region's non-oil sector picks up, despite a likely rise in non-performing loans in the region's two biggest banking markets, according to Moody's. Olivier Panis, a senior credit officer with the ratings agency, told journalists during a briefing in Dubai on Tuesday that the "slow and gradual recovery in economic growth - particularly in non-oil economic growth" would help to boost the credit growth of banks in the region by between 4 percent in Saudi Arabia and 6-7 percent in Oman and Kuwait. This compares with a decline in credit growth in Saudi Arabia in 2017 and an "almost flat" credit market in the United Arab Emirates over the same period, Panis said."
