Saudi Arabia expects debt obligations from bonds and sukuk to reach approximately $167.4 billion between 2026 and 2030, with a significant focus on the government and sovereign sector, which accounts for $31.5 billion of that total. The maturities include major Gulf countries, with the UAE ranking second at $157.4 billion, although most of its debt is directed toward corporations. Traditional bonds dominate these maturities, totaling $308.4 billion, while Islamic sukuk comprise $183 billion. There is a particular emphasis on bank and financial services debt, which makes up 73.5% of the total private sector debt. Projections indicate that the region faces a wave of debt maturities amounting to around $236.6 billion for governments and $254.8 billion for the private sector. Reports describe the Gulf economy's ability to finance and refinance debts as flexible, supported by strong financial reserves.
