Forbes revealed their annual list of top 100 Middle Eastern companies for 2022, it included a multitude of industries that aren’t only recovering but thriving in the current tumultuous economic climate.
One of the biggest benefits in the region is the Gulf, which saw a surge in income thanks to the ever-increasing prices of oil. Trying to recover the balance of oil power in the world, at least for the time being.
In almost a mirror image of last year, Saudi Arabia took the lion’s share of companies on the list, with 33 spots overall, dominating the platform’s list, marking its territory for the second time in a row.
The UAE takes the silver medal with an impressive 25 spots, denying Qatar which got 16 spots second place, followed by Kuwait with eight, and Egypt, unfortunately, with three.
Like last year, the top company in the Middle East is Saudi Aramco which decided not to leave that spot for anyone else.
It held on the first spot with a mind-boggling market value of $2.3 trillion, $400 billion in sales, and compiled a net profit of $110 billion.
