Fitch Ratings' report said that weak growth momentum of the global economy in 2024 could push OPEC+ to cut production further if the oil market moves into a state of oversupply.
Countries in the region are expected to stabilize oil production in 2024, following OPEC+’s decision to cut production in 2023. The report also said that oil-exporting countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are expected to see strong economic growth in 2024, mainly due to the upturn in non-oil economic activities. Accordingly, the growth in non-oil activities is expected to increase by 3.5% in 2024, thanks to economic diversification efforts and new reforms.
In its report, the agency warned that “the Israel-Hamas conflict poses many risks to the tourism sector in the coming period. In addition to economic and financial reform measures, multilateral and bilateral financial support is an important measure in some countries.”
The report highlights that credit fundamentals in MENA countries are expected to face challenges from high debt burdens and tight financial conditions amid high global interest rates, while domestic interest rates remain high due to inflationary trends.
