The importance of retirement planning is gaining unprecedented attention in the GCC and globally. A recent survey by Arabian Gulf Business Insight (AGBI) revealed that 88% of expatriates in the GCC are actively prioritizing retirement savings over other expenses, and 82% consider having sufficient funds for retirement as 'very important'.[1]At the same time, persistent inflation, higher interest rates, and ongoing market volatility are reshaping the retirement planning landscape.
