UAE and Saudi Arabia cement Gulf's dominance in Global ESG sukuk market in H1
Gulf nations dominated global environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sukuk activity in the first half of 2025, accounting for over 50% of total issuances, according to a new report by Fitch Ratings. Saudi Arabia and the UAE were the primary drivers of this growth. Globally, outstanding ESG sukuk rose more than 12% year-on-year to reach the equivalent of $50 billion in the first six months of 2025, the rating agency said. Nasdaq Dubai emerged as a key hub for US dollar-denominated ESG sukuk listings, alongside European exchanges such as Frankfurt, London, and Stuttgart. The issuer base increased in the second quarter of 2025, with UAE-headquartered Omniyat Holdings issuing the first green sukuk, rated 'BB-'. The period also saw Saudi Arabia issuing new guidelines for green, social, and sustainability-linked debt instruments. Fitch expects ESG sukuk issuance to moderate in the third quarter of 2025 due to seasonal summer trends in key markets, before rebounding in the last quarter of the year. The global ESG sukuk is likely to surpass $60 billion outstanding by the end of 2026. However, geopolitical risks, evolving Sharia requirements, oil price volatility, and greenwashing concerns are likely to slow ESG sukuk issuance, the report said. Fitch rates about three quarters of the global dollar ESG sukuk market, almost all of which is senior unsecured, and about 1% subordinated.

Global study by Cisco shows that hyper-personalisation is mission-critical for CX
Cisco has unveiled the findings of its global study on CX, which showed that AI, hyper-personalisation and proactive engagements are going to be key for enterprises looking to ensure that they continue to deliver first-class CX for their customers. Advancements in artificial intelligence, hyper-personalisation, rich communication services, and unified data are expected to enhance customer loyalty and address rising expectations in the Middle East and beyond. For many organisations, delivering an outstanding CX remains a challenge; a global study conducted by Cisco showed that many customers feel let down by the experiences they receive from brands. Only 25% of customers globally said they were very satisfied with their last service engagement—and 94% have abandoned interactions due to poor experiences. To meet growing customer expectations, businesses in the Middle East are leveraging AI, data analytics, and integrated platforms to improve efficiency, drive customer satisfaction, and support sustainable growth. Ahmad Zureiki, Director of Collaboration Business, Cisco Middle East and Africa, commented: 'As customer experience leaders evaluate their investments, it is important to anticipate what's around the corner, assessing how future developments may impact CX strategy and execution. Leaders in CX are approaching AI technology with a clear, strategic focus – one that prioritises customer impact, agent empowerment, and operational efficiency. The widespread adoption of AI will enhance customer experiences and redefine engagement benchmarks, solidifying its role as a vital component of customer service in the region.' AI agents will revolutionise self-service AI agents will redefine self-service by enabling more intelligent, human-like interactions across voice and digital channels. Unlike traditional virtual assistants, these advanced AI-driven agents will engage customers in natural conversations. They ensure faster and more effective resolutions, while freeing human representatives to handle complex or high-value cases. Brands will increasingly tailor these kinds of agents to reflect their unique values, creating more authentic and emotionally resonant experiences. Additionally, the rise of low-code and no-code tools will make AI more accessible, allowing non-technical employees to deploy and refine artificial intelligence solutions easily. With AI adoption accelerating, leading companies are already leveraging AI agents at a significantly higher rate than their competitors, emphasising its role in shaping superior customer experiences. In fact, Cisco's global study showed that 79% of 'CX Leaders' (companies with the highest business performance) have an AI virtual agent, whereas 7% of 'CX Laggards do' (companies typically slower to adopt new ideas, technologies, or trends). Hyper-personalisation will become mission critical for CX AI will revolutionise personalisation by helping organisations extract valuable insights from customer data to anticipate needs, tailor experiences, and drive upsell opportunities. Businesses will leverage AI to create hyper-personalised journeys that seamlessly transition between automated and human-assisted interactions, enhancing CX and fostering long-term loyalty. A key element of this transformation is proactive communication. Brands that engage customers with timely, automated messages will reduce friction, resolve issues before they arise, and strengthen relationships. As AI adoption grows, these proactive, personalized experiences will set new customer expectations, with CX leaders already leveraging AI at a significantly higher rate than their competitors. It is notable that 61% of CX Leaders deliver proactive communications using AI. Rich Communication Services (RCS) adoption will skyrocket Rich Communication Services (RCS) will see a surge in adoption as its support on both iPhone and Android expands its global reach. With its ability to deliver rich media, interactive messaging, and two-way engagement, RCS is poised to become the industry standard for business communication. Brands will leverage its advanced features for promotions, reminders, and seamless interactions while benefiting from improved security through end-to-end encryption and verified sender profiles. As businesses recognize its value, RCS will play a crucial role in building customer trust and elevating digital engagement. CX data will have to become unified Unifying customer data will be essential for delivering AI-driven, hyper-personalised experiences across multiple channels, including RCS. While large organisations face challenges in consolidating data from disparate sources, achieving a holistic customer view will be fundamental to optimizing CX. By integrating data from various systems, businesses will empower AI and human agents with real-time insights, enabling faster resolutions and more seamless interactions. Moreover, a comprehensive understanding of customer needs will maximize AI's potential, allowing brands to anticipate issues, proactively engage customers, and provide trust. With unified data, organisations can identify trends, reduce friction points, and refine experiences at every touchpoint. As the CX landscape and customer expectations continue to evolve, Webex by Cisco is helping to bridge the digital divide with an AI-powered, self-learning contact center that delivers unmatched self-service, empowers agents with essential tools, and connects data to drive real business results. By equipping agents with real-time insights, journey data, and context for each customer, organisations can strive to not only meet but exceed expectations, delivering the best experience, every time.
