Private capital financing in the Gulf region has surged, reaching $54.8 billion between 2020 and 2024, a significant increase from the $10.4 billion raised in the previous five years, according to a new report. The rise in interest from private capital providers is another key factor contributing to this trend. The number of transactions that were financed with private capital peaked at $20.4 billion in 2023, compared with $1.3 billion in 2015, the document noted. This shift mirrors global trends, with the Middle East emerging as a key growth area for private capital in 2025.
