Dan Simkowitz, co-president of Morgan Stanley, stated that a resolution or stabilization of conflicts will likely lead to a rebound in the UAE's IPO marketplace. He expressed confidence in the country's financial infrastructure and leadership, noting the bank's ongoing investment and commitment to the region.

Simkowitz also highlighted the potential for a boom in the UAE's credit markets, which encompass bonds, government debt, private credit, and bank loans. He indicated that global trends are also positive for credit markets, with asset managers and owners playing an increasingly crucial role.

While acknowledging the temporary risk premium introduced by regional conflicts, Simkowitz emphasized that these events are not expected to alter long-term investment perspectives or investor interest in the UAE. Morgan Stanley, which has been in the region for two decades and recently opened an office in Abu Dhabi, plans to expand its operations and workforce there.
