The country maintained its lead in the region, having already overtaken Saudi Arabia in Q1 2025. For the first half of 2025, total contract awards in the UAE amounted to $44.4 billion, down 12.1% year-on-year — a relatively modest decline compared to the broader regional contraction.'This notable shift reflects the successful implementation of wide-ranging structural reforms and carefully targeted investments aimed at accelerating the country's economic diversification agenda,' the Kamco Invest quarterly report sectors, the Gas Sector emerged as the most dominant, accounting for 37.6% of the UAE's total project awards during Q2 2025, with contracts valued at $5.3 billion.

Dubai's Al Futtaim buys 49.95% stake in Saudi Arabia's Cenomi Retail for over Dh2.44 billion

Al Futtaim group on Sunday said it acquired a 49.95 per cent stake in Saudi franchise retailer Cenomi Retail for more than 2.5 billion riyals (Dh2.44 billion). The Dubai-based conglomerate acquired the stake from Fawaz Abdulaziz Alhokair, Abdul Majeed Abdulaziz Alhokair, Salman Abdulaziz Alhokair, Saudi FAS Holding Company, and FAS Real Estate Company. The shares are priced at SAR 44 (Dh43) each. Under the agreement, Al Futtaim and Cenomi Retail are currently negotiating a shareholder loan agreement. Under this, Al Futtaim will extend a shareholder loan of an amount not less than SAR 1.3 billion, upon completion of the transaction, to help strengthen Cenomi Retail's balance sheet and support its next phase of growth. Al Futtaim group's expansion into Saudi Arabia reflects the strong growth of the retail market in the GCC's largest economy. According to a recent report by Logic Consulting, the GCC retail industry is on track to reach $390 billion (Dh1.43 trillion) by 2028, led by digital transformation, evolving consumer preferences, and strategic government initiatives. Saudi Arabia and the UAE dominate, accounting for over 75 per cent of regional retail sales, a share set to expand further. Al Futtaim, one of the most diversified private groups in the UAE, is operating across 18 countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia in key sectors including automotive, financial services, real estate, retail, and health. It has a portfolio of over 200 brands, employing nearly 33,000 people. Cenomi Retail is the only listed business of its type in the Middle East. Its first store opened in 1991; it now trades in 808 stores across 165 shopping malls in 8 countries, with a retail platform covering a total gross leasable area (GLA) of about 332,000 square meters. All of this is managed by a workforce numbering more than 7,000. Cenomi Retail currently represents 47 brands, spanning womenswear, kids' and baby, department stores, shoes and accessories, cosmetics, in addition to operating a series of restaurants and coffee shops. 'This investment represents substantial foreign direct investment from the UAE private sector and underscores the robust economic partnership between our countries. It strengthens our presence and customer reach in Saudi Arabia, a strategic market with solid fundamentals and a clear national vision,' said Omar Al Futtaim, vice chairman and CEO of Al Futtaim. 'We see significant opportunities to support Cenomi Retail in enhancing operations, accelerating digital transformation, and expanding its brand portfolio. This partnership also paves the way for further collaborations in the dynamic Saudi market,' he said. Salim Fakhouri, CEO at Cenomi Retail, said this deal will firmly place Cenomi Retail 'on the right strategic path towards our next phase of growth, focused on scalable, high-performing global brands that drive long-term value to our shareholders.' The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

Astronomer CEO Resigns After Viral Kiss Cam Moment in Coldplay concert With Colleague

Andy Byron, the chief executive officer of New York-based tech firm Astronomer, has officially stepped down from his role following a public incident that went viral. The video showed Byron embracing a colleague during a Coldplay concert, prompting public scrutiny and internal company discussions. According to a statement posted on social media, Astronomer's board of directors accepted Byron's resignation and announced they would begin the search for a new CEO. The tech company clarified that Byron has not made any official public statement, countering widespread online claims suggesting otherwise. In fact, Astronomer previously posted on LinkedIn emphasizing that reports stating Byron addressed the matter were false, also correcting misidentification of a third individual seen in the viral video. The incident occurred on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Byron was captured on the 'kiss cam' with Kristin Cabot, Astronomer's chief people officer. The two appeared on the screen before quickly ducking out of view. In response, the company reiterated its commitment to upholding strong values and accountability, stating, 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' Astronomer, founded in 2018, focuses on solving problems in data and artificial intelligence. The company acknowledged that public awareness about them 'may have changed overnight' due to the viral clip but stressed that their mission remains unchanged. On Friday, the company announced that Pete DeJoy, Astronomer's co-founder and chief product officer, will take over as interim CEO. Following the announcement, Byron's LinkedIn account was made private and he was removed from the company's leadership page. However, he still appears on the company website as a member of the board of directors. CNN noted that they were unable to reach Byron for comment. The story has since been updated with additional content.
