In this AGBI feature, Abhishek Datta, Vice President at Continental Group, explains that the current trend is focused on improving liquidity, strengthening cash flow, and maintaining greater control over exit risk, rather than reducing long-term growth opportunities. He also highlights that Gulf investors are increasingly exploring diversification across India, Southeast Asia, Europe, and regional markets while continuing to view the US as an important part of their investment strategy.
