UAE: 3 expats from Kerala win Dh150,000 each in Big Ticket's weekly e-draw
Three lucky winners take home Dh150,000 each in this week's Big Ticket e-draw.
Suseel Kumar Chittari Thodikayil, an HR assistant from Kerala, who has been living in Saudi Arabia with his family for the past 32 years, first learned about Big Ticket five years ago through friends. Since then, the 58-year-old has been purchasing tickets along with 24 colleagues and friends. His winning ticket came through the Buy 2 Get 2 promotion.
'I came across the Buy 2 Get 2 offer during the Eid holidays and decided to take the chance and purchase the tickets. When I received the winning call, it felt completely unreal; it was such an exciting moment. I plan to split the prize with my group, and we will continue participating in upcoming draws," Suseel said.
A 35-year-old sales employee from Kerala, Vishnu Unnithan, has been living in Dubai for 10 years. He has been regularly purchasing Big Ticket entries with a group of seven friends over the same period.

'When I received the winning call, I was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. I plan to share the prize money with my friends and use my portion to support my family," shared Vishnu.
Another expat from Kerala, Sreeja Nandakumar Yezhuvath, has been purchasing Big Tickets with her husband for the past 10 years. An Abu Dhabi resident since 2002, the couple bought tickets each month, sometimes on their own and other times with a group of friends. This time, the winning ticket was purchased by her husband just a day before the draw, without informing her.
"To be honest, I was never the one really into Big Ticket, it was always my husband who made sure we bought our tickets every month. When I received the winning call, I was in complete shock and disbelief. I genuinely thought it was a scam at first. That's when my husband told me he had bought a ticket for this draw, and I was overwhelmed with happiness. It still feels like a dream.
"We haven't yet decided how we'll use the prize money, but I do have a few ideas in mind, so hopefully everything works out. I've started believing in Big Ticket more now and will continue entering future draws. My husband always says, 'One day, your time will come.' So my advice to others is: never give up.'

This month's promotions include a grand prize of Dh25 million, 3x Dh150,000 weekly e-draws, The Big Win Contest, and more. Even more exciting, Big Ticket is offering a special ticket bundle all month long.

Israel–Iran conflict could impact GCC IPO pipeline and valuations, warn analysts
The escalating tensions between Israel and Iran will likely hit business confidence in the GCC region, according to the latest geopolitical risk report by S&P Global Ratings, while analysts have warned of a trickle-down effect that could impact the region's IPO pipeline and put valuations at risk. While no IPO has been delayed since the conflict escalated last week, analysts are braced for choppy markets. Nishit Lakhotia, Group Head of Research at Bahrain's Sico Bank, told Zawya that 'it makes prudent sense to not list in a hurry if the macro environment is not conducive and TASI [Tadawul All-Shares Index] itself is trading at June 2021 levels.' Lakhotia's comment comes in wake of the Saudi Exchange closing on Sunday at its lowest level in 20 months, at 10,731.59. It opened almost 4% lower, at 10,429.67, before recovering most of its losses. George Pavel, General Manager at trading platform added that the uncertainty markets have faced in 2025, triggered by April's US tariff turmoil, coupled with recession fears, could result in a deferred IPO pipeline in the region. 'The direct Iran–Israel conflict has acted as an acute shock on top of this fragile environment. Its immediate effect was to trigger sharp market sell-offs and extreme volatility. This instability is making new IPOs more challenging as investor confidence declines,' he stated. All eyes are currently on two major listings coming out of Saudi Arabia: Specialized Medical Company, which closed its retail offering for 15 million shares on the Main Market at 25 Saudi riyals ($6.66) per share on Monday, and budget carrier flynas, which will start trading on Tadawul from June 18. Kate Leaman, Chief Market Analyst at AvaTrade, said the current escalation has introduced fresh uncertainty into the region's IPO plans and that the tone has shifted. 'For large, state-backed deals in particular, this conflict is forcing a rethink,' she said. 'Some issuers may delay. Not indefinitely, but enough to wait for volatility to ease. Deals planned for Q3 may slip into Q4, and a few could even push into 2026, depending on how this unfolds.' According to Leaman, it's not a total freeze, as several smaller IPOs, 'especially those focused on local markets, are moving forward' as they are less exposed to global capital flows and investor sentiment tied to geopolitics. 'In essence, the IPO window isn't shut; it's just narrowed. Big-ticket deals may hold off for stability. But domestic, sector-resilient names could still see strong demand. Unless the conflict escalates further, expect IPO activity to continue in a more cautious, targeted fashion,' she said. Investor sentiment Valuations have also come under scrutiny, with Lokhatia noting this will play a 'central role' in determining the success of the IPOs hitting the market in the coming weeks. Pavel cautioned as well that investors could also use their position to negotiate pricing. 'The conflict forces an immediate and rational repricing of risk, making investors more price-conscious. Investors could demand a significant 'geopolitical discount' to compensate for the new risks of wider tensions. This means issuers must accept lower valuations to attract capital. Speculative, high-growth companies, particularly in tech, could find private market valuations intensely scrutinised and likely unattainable in the current market.' Vijay Valecha, CIO at Century Financial, had a different take, drawing parallels with US President Donald Trump's 'back-and-forth trade policies threatening global supply chains', which sparked expectations of an inflationary environment and caused analysts to expect valuations of IPOs to be affected. 'Despite that, Dubai's Holdings' REIT was priced at the top end of the range and listed at a market valuation of 14.3 billion UAE dirhams ($3.9 billion), firmly positioning it as the largest listed REIT in the GCC,' he said. According to Valecha, GCC markets have become habituated to geopolitical escalations, 'with market participants seeing them as short-term interruptions to rallies and using the dips to enter the market.'

CICC's Barry Chan on bridging China-Gulf investment flows
Image: CICC China International Capital Corporation ( In an interview with Gulf Business , Barry Chan, head of Asia-Australia Region, outlines how the firm aims to drive two-way capital flows within the China-GCC corridor, tapping into the Gulf's trillion-dollar investment potential and growing appetite for cross-border collaboration. What prompted CICC to establish a presence in Dubai's DIFC, and how does this move fit into your global growth strategy? CICC has long monitored the economic landscape of the Gulf region. The overall macroeconomic performance of Gulf countries has been impressive year on year, historically driven by the prominence of the oil and gas sector. More recently, strong performance has also been increasingly supported by non-oil sectors. Investment activity has surged, with sovereign wealth funds and private investors actively deploying capital internationally and domestically — into infrastructure, real estate, technology, healthcare, and energy transition projects. Gulf sovereigns are projected to reach $18tn in assets under management by 2030, reinforcing their global influence. Attracted by the Gulf market's scale and growth, CICC has been keen to establish a presence in the DIFC to develop capital flows both ways within the China-GCC economic corridor. By leveraging Dubai's role as a gateway to regional markets, we aim to provide comprehensive financial solutions that foster cross-border collaboration and long-term economic partnerships. What specific markets and sectors across the Middle East and Africa are you prioritising, and what is your outlook on the region's investment landscape? Two key structural changes stand out in the Gulf's investment landscape. First, Gulf sovereign wealth funds have significantly increased allocations to China and the broader Asia-Pacific region, investing $9.5bn into China in the year ending September 2024. This reflects a diversification strategy amid global uncertainty and the pursuit of higher growth. Second, the Gulf is emerging as a preferred destination for Chinese companies seeking global expansion. China's strengths in manufacturing, infrastructure, the digital economy, and innovation align well with Gulf diversification goals. Looking ahead, we are highly optimistic about the region's trajectory. Its strategic location, professional economic management, and proactive government policies create a dynamic, business-friendly environment ripe with investment opportunities. What core services will the Dubai office offer, and who are your primary target clients — sovereign wealth funds, corporates, or family offices? CICC has been approved by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) for a Type 4 license, enabling us to provide arranging and advisory services within the DIFC. Our offerings are tailored exclusively for institutional clients, including sovereign wealth funds, governments, SOEs, private corporations, financial institutions, and accredited family offices. We aim to serve as a trusted financial bridge between China and the Gulf, delivering investment, advisory, and financing solutions that address the evolving needs of our clients on both sides of the corridor. How will CICC facilitate cross-border investment flows between China and the Middle East, and what role will the firm play in supporting initiatives like the Belt and Road? The Gulf is known for its appetite for high-value, strategic transactions — often exceeding global deal sizes. CICC is uniquely positioned to facilitate these cross-border flows, thanks to our deep market expertise in China, established client relationships, and regional insight. We also play an active role in the evolution of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), identifying emerging opportunities and supporting our clients in navigating these investments. CICC strives to foster strategic partnerships that drive sustainable, long-term growth between China and the Gulf. What are your short- and long-term goals for the DIFC office, and how do you define success for CICC in the region? Our short-term goal — becoming the first China specialist investment bank with a presence in the Gulf — has been achieved. The next phase is to leverage our platform to deliver China-based solutions to regional clients and execute larger, high-impact transactions across capital markets, private markets, and strategic advisory. In the long term, we aim to cultivate a dynamic financial ecosystem that enables Chinese and Gulf players to form strategic partnerships and engage in sustained capital flows. Success for us means becoming the trusted China-focused financial partner for regional governments, SOEs, institutions, sovereign funds, corporates, and family offices — driving mutual growth through well-structured, long-term solutions.
