Opportunities for private real estate debt in the UAE and KSA
27 May 2018
Private debt is rather limited in the Middle East, with the vast majority of debt being provided by commercial banks. Challenges with respect to foreclosure/bankruptcy laws, lack of market data and understanding of risk and reward metrics have been some of the key reasons for its limited use in the region.
