The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) has forecast a gradual resurgence for the Arab economy during 2026, with the growth rate ascending to 3.7 percent, compared to 2.9 percent in the previous year.

The report issued today by the UN Commission, entitled "Macroeconomic Projections for the Arab Region," elucidated that this improvement materializes notwithstanding escalating geopolitical tensions and the persistence of global financial pressures. It indicated a likely decline in the regional inflation rate to 5.4 percent by the year 2027, propelled by the stabilization of supply chains and the expansion of non-oil sectors.

The report noted a disparity in growth indicators among Arab states; it is anticipated that high-income nations will register growth of 4.2 percent, while middle-income countries are projected to achieve growth of 3.3 percent. Conversely, low-income nations confront acute financial and humanitarian strains, with expectations of only a limited recovery over the forthcoming two years.

In the occupied Palestinian territories, the report cast a stark light upon the magnitude of the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip as a consequence of the ongoing Israeli aggression, estimating the cost of reconstruction at USD 70 billion, amidst devastation that has afflicted 78 percent of buildings, alongside grievous human and material losses.

In its conclusion, ESCWA urged Arab states to accelerate digital transformation, invest in human capital, and diminish reliance on hydrocarbons. It further called for the alignment of investments with national priorities to fortify economic stability and engender sustainable employment opportunities.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry affirmed that its field inspection teams continue to conduct intensive inspection campaigns at retail outlets and markets to monitor supply conditions and ensure that suppliers are committed to providing essential goods, in addition to detecting any violations and taking immediate legal action against them.

In a statement issued today, the ministry said that coordination has been made with retail outlets to open 33 major branches around the clock across various regions of the country, with the aim of enhancing the availability of goods and facilitating consumers’ access to their needs with ease and convenience.

The statement added that this comes as part of the ministry’s ongoing efforts to strengthen market stability, ensure the smooth flow of supply chains, and confirm the availability of goods and products in sufficient quantities at all retail outlets across the country, in a manner that meets consumer needs and reinforces market stability while maintaining the regular and uninterrupted flow of goods.

The ministry also emphasized the continuation of its efforts to ensure the availability of diverse, high-quality goods, calling on consumers to report any violations or irregularities through its official communication channels

Qatar National Bank (QNB) expected global trade to continue growing above its long-term average of 4 percent, supported by a new cycle of investment in artificial intelligence around the world.

In its weekly commentary, QNB said that the year 2025 delivered an apparent contradiction at the heart of the global economy. On the one hand, global trade volumes surprised to the upside, expanding at around 16 percent, well above the 4 percent long-term average and materially outpacing global GDP growth of 3 percent. On the other hand, the world’s largest economy implemented the most aggressive tariff increases seen in decades, culminating in the sweeping "Liberation Day" measures announced by the US in April.

At face value, these two developments appear irreconcilable. Conventional trade theory would suggest that sharply higher tariffs, particularly when imposed by a systemically important importer like the US, should weigh heavily on global trade flows. Yet reality proved more complex.

In previous commentaries published after Liberation Day, QNB argued that global economic integration was unlikely to be reversed, despite the magnitude of the US tariff shock. Subsequent data have reinforced this view. Rather than collapsing, global trade accelerated through 2025, forcing a reassessment of how tariffs can interact with modern supply chains, corporate behaviour, and other macro-financial drivers. Four factors help explain why trade proved far more resilient than headline policy signals would suggest.

First, the threat of tariffs triggered a powerful front-loading cycle, particularly in the US. Well before the full implementation of the new tariff regime, US importers moved aggressively to pull forward shipments in order to lock in lower duty rates. This behaviour is visible across customs data, inventory accumulation, and port activity. US goods imports surged in late 2024 and early 2025, especially in tariff-exposed categories such as machinery, electronics, and intermediate manufacturing inputs. Import growth temporarily decoupled from domestic demand, reflecting precautionary stockpiling rather than end-use consumption.

This pattern is not unprecedented. Similar front loading dynamics were observed during the 2018-19 US-China trade war, when tariff announcements consistently led to short-term spikes in bilateral trade flows ahead of implementation deadlines. In 2025, however, the scale was larger and more geographically diversified, as firms sought to hedge against not only higher tariffs but also uncertainty around exemptions, retaliatory measures, and future policy escalations. Ironically, this defensive behaviour boosted measured global trade volumes, masking the longer-term drag that higher tariffs may yet impose.

Second, effective tariff burdens were materially lower than headline rates imply, reflecting exemptions, delays, and corporate adaptation. Statutory US tariff rates rose sharply following Liberation Day with an announced tariff rate at around 14.8 percent. However, the effectively charged tariff revenues point to a significantly lower burden closer to 11 percent. A wide array of product-level exemptions, phased implementation schedules, bilateral carve-outs, and discretionary waivers diluted the immediate impact on trade costs. In practice, the gap between announced tariffs and collected duties widened, underscoring the political and administrative constraints of enforcing sweeping protectionist measures in a highly interconnected economy.

Equally important, multinational firms proved adept at mitigating tariff exposure. Modern global supply chains are flexible by design. Firms reconfigured sourcing, rerouted shipments through third countries, adjusted product classifications, or absorbed costs through internal pricing strategies. Jurisdictional arbitrage, transfer pricing, and intra-firm trade further reduced the pass-through of tariffs into final prices and volumes. The result was a far smaller disruption to global trade flows than policymakers had anticipated, highlighting the limited effectiveness of tariffs as a tool in a world of fragmented production networks.

Third, the acceleration of the global AI investment cycle generated an unusually strong impulse to trade. The rapid scaling of data centres, semiconductor fabrication, advanced electronics, and supporting infrastructure triggered a surge in cross-border flows of capital goods, intermediate inputs, and high-value components. Unlike traditional consumer-led trade cycles, AI-related investment is highly import-intensive and globally fragmented, relying on specialised suppliers across continents. Taiwanese exports, for example, which are at the crux of AI capex due to its position as an advanced chip manufacturer, surged more than 34 percent since the new capex cycle started in 2024. As a result, the AI capex boom acted as a powerful, tariff-insensitive driver of trade volumes, reinforcing exports from technologically sophisticated manufacturing hubs even as headline protectionism intensified.

Fourth, supportive macro-financial conditions, such as notable USD depreciation, provided a powerful offset to trade policy headwinds. A broad-based depreciation of nearly 10 percent for the USD in 2025 improved external competitiveness across a wide range of exporting economies, particularly those who’s monetary and FX policies are anchored by the USD, such as many Eastern Asian emerging economies. As their local currencies either appreciated modestly or remained tightly managed against the USD, exporters benefited from improved pricing power in global markets.

All in all, the experience of 2025 underscores a critical lesson: the paradox of strong global trade growth alongside sharply higher US tariffs reflects front-loading behaviour, lower effective tariff burdens, high AI-related capex and supportive USD depreciation, rather than a genuine revival of protectionist effectiveness. Moving forward, trade growth should slow down as the effects of frontloading fade and the USD stabilizes. However, a new global investment cycle centered around AI should favour continues trade growth above the 4 percent long-term average

Germany's annual inflation rate fell to 1.9 percent in February, compared to 2.1 percent in the previous month.

The German Federal Statistical Office stated in a press release Friday that the country's annual inflation rate reached 1.9 percent this month, according to the preliminary estimate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), compared to 2.1 percent in January.

The statement also noted that the CPI rose by 0.2 percent month-on-month compared to January 2026, reflecting a slight increase in the overall price level.

The statement further indicated that core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices to measure underlying inflation trends, reached 2.5 percent year-on-year.

This suggests continued underlying price pressures in some sectors despite the overall decline. Meanwhile, the Harmonized Index of European Consumer Prices (HICP), used for comparisons within the Eurozone and for monetary policy purposes, recorded an annual increase of 2 percent and a monthly increase of 0.3 percent.

The Federal Statistical Office indicated that these figures represent preliminary estimates based on data from the federal states, with final, detailed results to be released in the coming days.

Middle East Oil Tankage and Pipelines (MIDTAP), Egypt’s operator of oil storage, pipelines, and marine terminal services, handled more than 5 million tons (mmt) of petroleum products in 2025, including diesel, jet fuel and styrene, one of the petrochemical products, with the total number of tankers reaching 180, said Chairman Hasanen Mohamad Hasanen during the the company’s general assembly meeting to approve its 2025 fiscal year (FY) results.

He noted that the company’s marine dock recorded growth in activity in the movement of petroleum products compared to the previous year. In 2024, MIDTAP recorded a total of 4.7 mmt of petroleum products traded at its dock, receiving 153 tankers.

During the meeting, Hasanen reviewed the company’s operational results, highlighting its role in implementing the petroleum ministry’s pillars, which include receiving petroleum product shipments via the company’s marine berth at Dekheila Port and pumping them into the local market through the national petroleum product pipeline network.

He added that MIDTAP contributed to maximizing the economic value of refining operations, accelerating the loading and unloading of products from the Middle East Oil Refinery (MIDOR), and securing crude oil supplies to the refinery.

Hasanen said that the company is working to diversify its activities through new partnerships, including the establishment of the Mada company to develop electric vehicle (EV) charging in partnership with Infinity, Hassan Allam Holding, and Misr Petroleum companies. The project targets the deployment of 510 EV charging points over five years.

The company is also studying a project to establish liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) handling and storage facilities in Alexandria with a capacity of 80,000 tons, he added.

Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, said during the meeting that MIDTAP has strong opportunities to expand its activities in implementing infrastructure projects for pipelines, storage tanks, and facilities for handling crude oil, petrochemicals, and their products, helping maximize the company’s capabilities and open new areas of business.

Badawi added that MIDTAP’s growing role in executing diverse projects requires continued adherence to the highest standards of occupational safety, health, and environmental protection.

During 2025, MIDTAP recorded 60,000 safe working hours, trained technical members of the process safety committee through the Process Safety Management (PSM) System Foundation program, and renewed the fire safety compliance certificate for the Dekheila Port facilities.

The minister also directed the company to prepare a comprehensive vision for its upcoming five-year plan to support sustainable growth in business volume and strengthen its competitiveness. This plan should include expanding participation in petroleum sector infrastructure projects, improving the efficiency of existing assets and maximizing their utilization, as well as adopting the latest technological systems for operating and managing pipelines and storage facilities.

The petroleum sector is fast-tracking the deployment of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies to unlock hard-to-reach oil and gas reserves and drive a significant increase in crude and natural gas production under the ministry’s five-year plan, said Karim Badawi, the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.

Speaking during a meeting held to follow up on executive progress, Badawi stressed that while Egypt holds substantial petroleum potential, maximizing output requires localizing advanced technologies and creating effective economic mechanisms in partnership with major international drilling and technology service companies.

He added that the ministry is developing incentive models to ensure readiness for large-scale application of these technologies, paving the way for broader deployment across Egypt. He also praised the recent close coordination between the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and global service providers to operationalize this approach.

During the meeting, attended by senior ministry officials and executives from international service and technology firms operating in Egypt, Salah Abdel Kerim, CEO of EGPC, highlighted promising opportunities for horizontal and lateral drilling in several conventional reservoirs, particularly in the Western Desert, Eastern Desert, Gulf of Suez, and Sinai.

He noted that horizontal drilling can significantly enhance well productivity compared to vertical wells in the same geological formations, while reducing the total number of wells needed to achieve targeted production levels.

Abdel Kerim also outlined the potential of unconventional reservoirs and ongoing work by EGPC’s Production Division, in cooperation with international service companies and production partners, to assess technical and economic requirements for implementation. He emphasized plans to expand hydraulic fracturing applications, pointing to the successful experience of Norpetco in the Western Desert as a model for future development.

Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR) has unveiled a new five-year exploration and production plan (2026–2030) to achieve self-sufficiency in crude oil while boosting natural gas output and reversing recent declines in production. It focuses on increased cooperation with international oil companies, measures to limit import costs, and channeling local production into value-added industries and export markets, as part of broader efforts to enhance Egypt’s energy security and economic resilience.

The US dollar is on track to record its first monthly gain since October, buoyed by shifting global economic expectations and resilient domestic data. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, stabilised near 97.74 on Friday.

This performance was bolstered by a strong chicago pmi reading of 57.7, which provided fundamental support for the currency's strength throughout the period. Despite this upward trend, the dollar faced a key ceiling for the month as it encountered a notable resistance level at 98.00.

Within this context, the Chinese yuan fell 0.12% to 6.8581 per dollar, despite rising approximately 2% since the start of the year. The Australian dollar stabilised at 0.7121 dollars, heading toward its fourth consecutive monthly gain. In contrast, the yen dropped to 156.02 yen per dollar, and the British pound retreated to 1.3485 dollars, while the euro maintained its stability near 1.1823 dollars.

Egypt’s balanced fiscal policies have contributed to reducing debt and inflation rates while driving economic activity, Deputy Minister of Finance for Fiscal Policy Yasser Sobhy said.

Speaking at the first Africa Finance Summit, Sobhy stated that financial stability remains a fundamental pillar for economic growth and improving citizens’ living standards. He noted that the Egyptian government is currently developing its public finance management and implementing programme-based budgeting to enhance the efficiency of public spending and achieve fiscal targets within a comprehensive and integrated economic vision.

According to Sobhy, Egypt’s experience in sustainable finance is creating new opportunities for African economies. He explained that the issuance of sustainability bonds facilitates the funding of projects with a social dimension, which are essential for maintaining economic stability.

The ministry is working to diversify both local and international financing sources and instruments. Sobhy said this strategy is intended to lower costs and mitigate risks while maximising the benefit from concessional financing sources.

New programmes and initiatives are being implemented to increase spending on social protection and human development, as well as to improve public services. Sobhy highlighted that the voluntary formalisation of the informal economy is a strategic priority to broaden the tax base and utilise the economy’s latent potential.

He concluded by stating that the Borrowing Countries Forum would contribute to improving financing conditions for Africa and developing nations, thereby boosting investment flows and supporting inclusive, sustainable growth.

Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, inspected the National Natural Gas Grid Control Centre (NATA) at the headquarters of the Egyptian Natural Gas Company (GASCO) on Saturday, to follow up on the implementation of the plan to secure natural gas supplies and ensure the regular flow of gas to the various sectors of the local market.

Badawi checked on the readiness of the operational system to implement the proactive scenarios that had been prepared in advance to deal with any developments, supporting rapid response within the framework of an integrated plan drawn up by the ministry to address different variables.

The minister said the measures implemented in recent months to enhance preparedness, diversify gas supply sources, and develop an integrated infrastructure to receive natural gas, alongside providing multiple alternatives and secured capacities, have contributed to raising the system’s efficiency, strengthening its ability to handle emergencies, and meeting the needs of the local market efficiently and sustainably.

Egypt’s Cabinet has approved the expansion of its concessional financing initiative for priority industrial sectors, launching a second phase that broadens the range of eligible industries and activities, according to a joint statement by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry.

Ahmed Kouchouk, Minister of Finance, and Khaled Hashem, Minister of Industry, said the expanded programme will finance the purchase of machinery, equipment and production lines for targeted sectors identified by the Ministry of Industry and the Industrial Development Authority in coordination with the Federation of Egyptian Industries.

The initiative aims to improve the quality and competitiveness of Egyptian products in line with international standards, deepen local manufacturing, localise new industries and unlock new export markets.

Under the revised framework, the maximum financing limit per client has been increased to EGP 100m, up from EGP 75m. For related parties, the ceiling has been raised to EGP 150m instead of EGP 100m. The credit extended to each beneficiary will be determined in line with business volume and prevailing banking regulations.

The first phase of the initiative was launched in January 2025 with a total allocation cap of EGP 30bn. Priority will continue to be given to projects located in areas most in need of development and those with high labour intensity, including South Giza, the Suez Canal region governorates, border governorates such as the Red Sea south of Safaga, and Upper Egypt.

The statement noted that a set of performance indicators has been introduced to measure the initiative’s impact on the national economy. These include growth in company revenues and assets, increases in production capacity and output volumes, a reduction in the local supply gap, higher domestic value-added, integration into global value chains, job creation and the localisation of new industries.

The concessional interest rate borne by beneficiaries will fall below 15% annually as local value-added rises. The preferential rate will also apply to newly introduced industries not previously manufactured locally but characterised by high import volumes. The reduced rate will be available for five years from the launch of the initiative, with the Ministry of Finance covering the difference between the market rate and the subsidised rate over that period.

The initiative covers sub-sectors within pharmaceuticals, engineering industries, food industries, textiles and ready-made garments, chemicals, mining, building materials and refractories, leather, and metal industries.
