Saudi Arabia, UAE lead sustainable bond issuances in MENA
Saudi Arabia topped the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) for sustainable bond issuances in the first six months of 2025, driven by Vision 2030 infrastructure spending, according to Bloomberg's Capital Markets League Tables. Issuances from the kingdom reached $6.25 billion in H1 2025, a 25% increase year-on-year (YoY) and accounting for 66% of total green, social, sustainable, and sustainability-linked (GSSS) bond activity in the region. The Saudi government led with a $1.58 billion issuance, while Al Rajhi Bank issued two sustainable sukuks totaling $1.7 billion. Additional issuers included Saudi Electricity Company ($1.25 billion), Alinma Bank ($500 million), and Saudi Awwal Bank with a $650 million additional tier 1 (AT1) sukuk. Annual regional GSSS issuances fell 4.4% to $9.47 billion in the first six months of 2025 from $9.91 billion a year earlier, impacted by higher global interest rates and a pause in deals from Egypt and Qatar. The UAE contributed the remaining 34% of the total, with $3.22 billion in GSSS issuances. Notable issuances were from National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed) at $700 million and real estate developer Omniyat, which raised $500 million, according to Bloomberg. Islamic instruments dominated the regional sustainable debt issuances, totaling $6.8 billion — a 17% YoY increase. AT1 issuance reached $3.15 billion — the highest first-half total in the past five years. AT1 issuances help banks comply with the Basel 3 framework ahead of the initial phase implementation in 2026. 'The sustainable bond market in Saudi Arabia and the UAE continues to mature and evolve,' Venty Mulani, Data Specialist - Sustainable Fixed Income, Bloomberg, said.

Rising AI-Driven Cyber Attacks and Geopolitical Tensions Shaping Asia Pacific Cyber Risk Landscape, Aon study
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 July 2025 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, has released the Asia Pacific (APAC) findings from its 2025 Cyber Risk Report. The report underscores the increasing complexity of artificial intelligence (AI) driven cyber attacks and the prevalence of geopolitical tensions on cyber risks in the region. This report is based on Cyber Quotient Evaluation (CyQu) scores from 3,226 Aon clients in 2024 across APAC, EMEA, LATAM and North America, which analysed more than 1,400 global cyber events to identify trends in the evolving cyber threat landscape. The CyQu database benchmarks over 10,000 clients and has 20,000 client users. From these insights, the report signals that the APAC region is experiencing significant growth in cyber claims notifications, driven by the rising frequency and sophistication of cyber incidents. Geopolitical forces, such as trade tensions, territorial disputes and reconfigurations of the global supply chain, is shaping how APAC companies manage cyber risk. Key Findings: In the APAC region, cyber incident frequency rose 29 percent year-over-year and up 134 percent over the past four years (2020-2024). There was a 22 percent rise in cyber insurance claims notifications in 2024. The rise in AI-driven deepfake attacks resulted in a 53 percent increase in social engineering incidents year-over-year. Claims involving social engineering and fraud increased by 233 percent. Of the 1,414 global cyber events analysed, 56 developed into reputation risk events, which are defined as cyber incidents that attract significant public attention. Companies affected by these reputation risk events experienced an average shareholder value decline of 27 percent. Globally, malware and ransomware attacks were ranked most likely to trigger reputational damage, accounting for 60 percent of all reputation risk events, despite making up only 45 percent of total cyber incidents. "In 2025, global and regional geostrategic tensions remain a key driver of cyber risk for companies in APAC. This trend is likely to accelerate with nation-state-backed threat actors continuing to employ cyber campaigns to facilitate conflicts or instigate grey-zone operations for the purposes of economic coercion, corporate espionage, or to harm regional rivals by targeting strategically important economic infrastructure," said Adam Peckman, head of risk consulting and cyber solutions in APAC and global head of cyber risk consulting at Aon. "As cyber threats grow more complex and interconnected, companies need a clearer view of their exposure, stronger alignment between cyber security and insurance strategies, and the tools to make better, data-driven decisions." Aon's 2025 Cyber Risk Report draws on proprietary data from the firm's CyQu platform, a patented global e-submission tool that streamlines the cyber insurance intake process and empowers organisations with actionable insights into their cyber exposures and insurability, helping to strengthen both underwriting outcomes and cyber risk management strategies.
