Why it matters in Riyadh

Europe buys the Gulf's energy. Its banks fund the Gulf's projects.

Europe is the marginal buyer of rerouted Gulf crude and Qatari LNG, European banks and insurers are core lenders and sukuk investors in Saudi projects, and the euro sets the second leg of the dollar. Awraq Capital reads these signals to time and structure capital for developers, landowners and companies.
