AI to Generate $1 Trillion in Value Across the Middle East by 2030
The World Economic Forum and Bain & Company report that artificial intelligence (AI) will generate more than $1 trillion in economic and sustainability value in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by 2030. Opportunities include sustainable finance, energy, public investment, asset protection, and business-government partnerships. The report highlights tools like Sustainable Finance Market Pulse, which is expected to deliver returns of 50 to 135 times its investment over five years. Wider adoption in MENA is projected to unlock around $200 billion in additional sustainable lending by 2030.
