Kamco Invest: Saudi Arabia holds the largest share of Persian Gulf debt maturities through 2030, at $167.4 billion

According to a report by the investment firm Kamco Invest, carried by Arab News on Wednesday, 29 July 2026 (7 Mordad 1405), Saudi Arabia will have the largest volume of maturing bonds and sukuk among the Persian Gulf states over the next five years. The value of instruments maturing between 2026 and 2030 is put at $167.4 billion for Saudi Arabia.

The United Arab Emirates follows with $157.4 billion and Qatar with $89 billion of maturities over the same period. According to the report, governments in the region face elevated maturity levels, particularly for issuance carried out in recent years.

The scale of these maturities means regional states will have to roll over or refinance a large part of their debt in the coming years, a process whose cost is tied to global interest rates and therefore to Federal Reserve policy, since most of these countries' currencies are pegged to the dollar.
