UAE firms will be the biggest beneficiaries within the Mena region as a result of the opening up of the Iranian economy after the nuclear deal with world powers.

Analysts believe that UAE companies with interests in property, transport, banking and finance sectors will have better prospects to make the most from the upcoming opportunities arising from the removal of sanctions on Iran.

“The UAE is a major winner in terms of trade and inflows. In the UAE, we believe banks and marine terminal and logistics operators should benefit the most. Nine of our 20-constituent UAE Favourite List are financials stocks,” said Mubasher Trade analysts in their note on Mena Strategy equities.

Nine out of our 20-constituent UAE Favourite List are financials stocks.
