BlackRock strategist Ben Powell highlights a $2.1 trillion surge in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) spending focused on domestic investments over the next several years. This shift means Gulf sovereign wealth funds are increasingly investing within the region rather than in global equities, U.S. Treasuries, or international real estate. The trend is driven by the Gulf's need to diversify away from oil dependence amid global energy shifts and geopolitical risks like the Strait of Hormuz. Powell also notes growing overlap in investments across AI infrastructure, energy, and defense sectors, reflecting the strategic importance of self-reliance and security. This $2.1 trillion buildout could significantly alter global capital flows and investment priorities worldwide.
