A GFS market note on where receivables finance, equipment leasing, and compliance pressure will shape Omani and GCC corporate treasuries this year.
Global Fine Solutions has circulated a concise 2026 outlook for corporate treasurers in Oman and the wider GCC. The note focuses on three themes the GFS desk expects to define the year: structured receivables finance, equipment-led capex, and tighter counterparty compliance.
On receivables finance, the firm expects invoice-discounting and accounts-receivable programmes to continue displacing pure unsecured overdraft usage for mid-market exporters. GFS attributes this partly to longer debtor cycles on regional infrastructure and petrochemical contracts, and partly to treasurers seeking structures that grow with order books rather than relying on static working-capital lines.
On capex, Global Fine Solutions sees equipment leasing remain a preferred route for metalworking, pipe production, and refrigeration buildouts across the GCC. Aligning principal repayments with asset productivity — rather than front-loading debt — continues to match how these assets actually earn.
On compliance, the note flags that AML/CFT and sanctions-screening expectations are moving in one direction only. GFS encourages clients to assume that counterparty due diligence packs will be requested earlier and in greater detail, and to keep beneficial-ownership and sanctions records live rather than rebuilt deal-by-deal.
The outlook closes with a reminder that Global Fine Solutions operates strictly within the scope of its Commercial Registration and licensed activities in Oman. The document is informational and does not amend any client's contractual terms.
