Growing Modernisation and Industrialisation Behind Hike in Gulf Defence Spending, Says Jane’s by IHS Markit - Seite 2

Regional technical planning

“As we approach the end of the decade, a number of governments in the Gulf region are in the process of updating their economic plans and strategies. As part of this, they are considering how new, disruptive technologies can be leveraged,” Forrester said. “As civil-sector demand for technologies such as artificial intelligence and cyber security grows, the acquisition of defence equipment can help to deliver further investments and capabilities in these areas as offset is leveraged.”

Economic plans that have been launched or are underway include Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030 and Oman Vision 2040.
