RIYADH: The normalization of Saudi-Qatari diplomatic and trade relations will have benefits for both countries, especially for the aviation industry and Saudi export-focused sectors, business experts claim.
Dr. Saleh Al-Sultan, a writer and former chief economist at the Ministry of Finance, told Arab News: “The Gulf cooperation was undermined in the previous few years but the relations between Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states and Qatar are back to normal now, which means the ties between all states will be stronger than ever.
“Before the boycott, Saudi Arabia and Qatar had many mutual economic activities but collaboration stopped. We hope that the relations return to normalcy and ties become deeper and stronger. Besides, increasing the volume of economic exchange and transactions will bring positive results to Gulf states,” he said.

The Qatari stock index close higher after deal that eased Gulf row, Asharq Al-Awsat Riyadh - Asharq Al-Awsat
The outcomes of the 41st annual summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which was held in Saudi Arabia’s historical AlUla city, have reflected positively on Gulf markets.
Affirming the importance of solidarity and stability in the Gulf, Arab and Islamic countries, Gulf leaders and participating delegations at the summit signed an agreement to open a new page for intra-Gulf relations.
The Qatari stock index closed 1.4% higher on Tuesday, leading other Gulf markets, with analysts saying that the boost stems from the deal which ended a more than three-year row between Doha and some Gulf states.
