The Middle East situation in 2026 has once again pushed global capital to the edge of a stress test. As the US-Iran conflict escalates, the market is focusing not only on oil prices and military dynamics but on a much more realistic question: When the flames of war approach the Persian Gulf, why is Dubai no longer an absolute safe haven?

Deconstructing the 2026 Budget Financial Secretary Paul Chan released the 2026 Budget, revealing that the Hong Kong government successfully turned a loss into a profit in its consolidated account this year, recording a surplus of $2.9 billion.
