    How hard has the war hit GCC economies?
    May 20 2026
    Arab Digest editor William Law welcomes the Gulf banking and finance analyst Andrew Cunningham onto the podcast to talk about the extent to which the Iran war is impacting the economies of the GCC states. They discuss the metrics used to measure economic damage and explore just how quickly Gulf economies can rebound once the war has ended. Given that the regime in Tehran has survived and will continue, both the West and the GCC will need to find what Andrew Cunningham calls a grand bargain with Iran.
