Renault Koleos 2026 makes regional debut in Diriyah
Wallan Trading, the exclusive distributor of French automotive brand Renault in Saudi Arabia, officially launched the Renault Koleos 2026 in Diriyah in a grand event attended by notable guests, media persons and auto enthusiasts. The launch marked the model's debut in the Middle East region.
The event featured an interactive reveal enriched by dynamic audiovisual effects, culminating in the unveiling of the new Renault Koleos. Guests had the opportunity to explore the vehicle up close and discover its distinctive design and advanced technological features.
Fahad Al-Wallan, chairman of Wallan Holding, emphasized the strong partnership between Wallan Trading and Renault, united in their vision to deliver a premium ownership and driving experience through vehicles known for their elegant design, innovative technology, and high performance.
'The Renault Koleos 2026 represents a significant milestone in the automotive world and is the perfect choice for those who value elegance, refinement, quality, and innovation,' Al-Wallan said.

This new generation of Koleos offers a truly exceptional option for car lovers, thanks to its innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and advanced features.'
The new Koleos is a pivotal launch within Renault's International Game Plan 2027. It belongs to the D-segment of midsize SUVs and reflects the brand's new design language and its guiding philosophy 'voitures à vivre,' meaning 'cars for living.' The model offers a bold, premium driving experience while prioritizing safety for drivers, passengers, and other road users.
Measuring 4.78 meters long, 1.88 meters wide, and 1.68 meters tall, Koleos delivers the proportions of a high-end SUV. A generous 2.82-meter wheelbase ensures ample interior space, with boot capacity of up to 589 liters.
The cabin features three panoramic 12.3-inch openR screens stretching across the dashboard, premium materials, and high-comfort seats, all contributing to a luxurious onboard experience. The front seats are heated and ventilated, with the front passenger seat adjustable in six directions, controlled via the dedicated passenger display.
Koleos is equipped with an intelligent four-wheel drive system that seamlessly adapts to changing road conditions without manual intervention. On smooth roads, it switches to 2WD for enhanced fuel efficiency. The intelligent torque distribution system adapts seamlessly to slippery, muddy, or sandy environments, providing optimal traction.
The 8-speed automatic transmission adjusts to the driver's style, improving over time for smoother performance. It is powered by a 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine generating 235 hp and 350 Nm of torque, ensuring a dynamic and refined drive.
Koleos includes six drive modes, including off-road mode, and features 29 advanced driver assistance systems, three of which enable Level 2 autonomous driving. The vehicle uses a 180-degree interface to display nearby traffic in real time.
Koleos is also fitted with next-generation active driver assist, combining adaptive cruise control with lane centering technology. This system maintains the vehicle's lane position using sensors and cameras, while an emergency lane-keeping function anticipates collisions and assists in avoidance maneuvers.
To ensure maximum safety, 18 percent of Koleos' body structure uses hot forming technology, enhancing rigidity and crash protection. This also reduces vibrations and road noise for a smoother ride.
The Renault Koleos 2026 is now available across Saudi Arabia with prices starting from SR112,900 ($30,100), excluding VAT. It comes with a five-year or 100,000-km warranty and free servicing for two years or 40,000 km (whichever comes first).

Israeli Assets Slide as Regional Tensions Escalate
The cost of insuring Israel's debt against default rose on Thursday, and its bond prices and stock indexes slid, as regional security concerns spiked and the country's own government wobbled. Israel's five-year credit default swaps rose nine basis points (bps) from Wednesday's close, to reach 107 bps, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, while its international dollar bonds slid more than 1 cent, Reuters reported. The 100-year issuance, which matures in 2120, shed more than 1.3 cents before retracing some of the loss to be bid at 67 cents on the dollar, Tradeweb data showed. "A possibility of a more pronounced geopolitical deterioration may take its toll on the local economy and the fiscal deficit, and also make it more challenging for Bank of Israel to lower its rates later this year," said Ronen Menachem, chief markets economist with Mizrahi Tefahot Bank. The United States has restricted government employees' travel outside certain Israeli cities, and pulled some personnel out of the Middle East, due to escalating tensions with Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu more time resolve its worst political crisis yet and avoid a ballot that polls suggest he would parliament rejected early on Thursday a preliminary vote to dissolve itself, giving the ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Israel's stocks also slid, with the blue-chip and the broader indexes down roughly 2%. The shekel currency fell just less than 1% versus the US dollar, to 3.56, but remained up 2% year to date. Still, Menachem noted that local indexes are near all-time highs, and assets have rebounded from other recent security related declines. Markets broadly moved into risk-off mode, with oil prices spiking and fixed income instruments in other emerging markets coming under downward pressure.

Supporting Syria's entrepreneurs a regional responsibility
Six months after the fall of the Assad regime, and weeks after the formal lifting of US sanctions, there is now an open door for a potential economic and social revival that could reshape Syria's future. But the path ahead remains fraught with challenges, competing interests and proxy battles — and the question of how Syria rebuilds, and which stakeholders lead that process, is more urgent than ever. At the heart of Syria's recovery is its youth — more than half of the population is under 25, a generation defined by years of conflict and deprivation but also incredible resilience. Traditional employment opportunities have collapsed, pushing many young Syrians to seek alternative livelihoods. Entrepreneurship has become not only a means of survival but a vital response to soaring unemployment and widespread poverty. The entrepreneurial spirit among Syrians is unmistakable. In a survey conducted in 2024 by Ahmad Sufian Bayram, a general partner at Blackbox and advocate for entrepreneurship in conflict zones, more than 80 percent of Syrians described entrepreneurship as 'extremely important.' This is a dramatic rise from just 26 percent in 2015. However, only 3 to 5 percent are actively involved in starting or running businesses — a participation rate well below international norms and one that highlights an enormous gap between ambition and opportunity. Despite these challenges, a remarkable wave of startups has emerged, reflecting the urgent needs of Syrian society. Fintech companies like Cashi are revolutionizing digital payments in a cash-strapped economy. Educational technology firms such as Quizat are expanding access to learning in a country where schools have been devastated. E-commerce platforms like are connecting local merchants with customers, fostering commerce in a fractured market. Entrepreneurship has become not only a means of survival but a vital response to soaring unemployment and widespread poverty Khalid Abdulla-Janahi In addition to these sectors, entrepreneurship in agriculture, healthcare and energy is critical. The destruction of infrastructure has left food security, basic health services and energy supply in urgent need of innovation and investment. Startups addressing these challenges not only create jobs but also lay the groundwork for rebuilding essential services. Yet the obstacles are immense. Syria's economy has shrunk to less than half its preconflict size. Nine out of every 10 Syrians live in poverty and unemployment has tripled since the onset of war. Infrastructure remains severely damaged, regulatory environments are complex and often opaque, and logistics chains are fragile. Most pressingly, international sanctions and funding constraints have severely limited access to capital. Many foreign investors and support organizations are either unable or unwilling to send funds into Syria, choking off growth opportunities for startups and limiting their ability to scale. Although the easing of some EU restrictions in February and the partial lifting of US sanctions have sparked cautious optimism, the financing gap remains vast. While some startups have secured small investments — ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 — these amounts fall far short of the capital required for scaling and sustaining businesses in a difficult environment. In a report titled 'The Impact of the Conflict in Syria' issued in February, the UN Development Programme estimated that Syria's economy would need to grow between 5 and 13.9 percent annually to recover to preconflict levels within a reasonable time frame. At current rates, some projections suggest Syria may not regain its pre-war gross domestic product until well into the latter half of the century. Political instability, fragmented governance and ongoing security risks further complicate the investment landscape and business operations. In this challenging context, grassroots initiatives like startup bootcamps, hackathons and mentorship programs — including organizations such as Sanad ScaleUp and Takween — have been critical in nurturing entrepreneurial talent and fostering resilience. The involvement of the Syrian diaspora and international impact investors is also increasingly being recognized as vital to supporting ecosystem growth. Yet, for the rebuilding effort to be truly sustainable, leadership and investment must come from within the region. While international partners play a valuable role, regional actors have the greatest stake in Syria's success. Efforts led by the Arab world — backed by private capital and focused on creating jobs that strengthen local economies — offer the best chance of sustainable recovery. There are roles for both the private sector and state capital to play, particularly in the case of the Gulf Cooperation Council states that are supporting the interim government. For the rebuilding effort to be truly sustainable, leadership and investment must come from within the region Khalid Abdulla-Janahi While the Gulf states are seeking confidence-building measures, they are also well placed, not only in terms of capital but also in terms of technical assistance, to lend expertise and intellectual capital from their vibrant community of innovators and diverse ecosystem of corporate sponsors, startups and investors who have been developing 'Silicon Wadis' in the Gulf for years. Examples include the Misk Accelerator, the King Abdullah University for Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center and Flat6Labs in Saudi Arabia, Hub71 in Abu Dhabi, Area 2071 in Dubai and the Fazaa Center for Business Incubators and Accelerators across the UAE, and Tamkeen in Bahrain. The establishment of dedicated funds with sovereign and state-owned companies and the support they can offer can also benefit Syria's entrepreneur cohorts. The Arab world has a responsibility that extends beyond economic opportunity. Supporting Syrian entrepreneurs is a strategic imperative for regional stability and peace. While the sanctions were removed on Syria from the outside, the solutions for the future must come from within both Syria and the wider region. The entrepreneurial generation represents Syria's most promising resource for creating inclusive growth, social cohesion and resilience in a postconflict society. Moreover, entrepreneurship serves as an incubator for responsible leadership and bootstrapping in business. It nurtures individuals who are proactive, adaptable and capable of addressing the complex challenges facing Syria. These qualities are essential for guiding the nation through its next chapter. The future of Syria rests with its next generation — and now is the time for those in positions of leadership across the region to empower them to build that future.
