Offsets in the GCC

Executive Summary

GCC, the practice of offsets in the defense arena was pioneered by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Between 2013 and 2025, the GCC is expected to spend about $1 trillion for defense purposes. Off this, 30% is expected to be dedicated to the sphere of capital expenditures. Though offsets in the GCC have resulted in defense and non-defense enterprises, they display varying degrees of experiential success. For many countries in the GCC, the objective of offsets is to develop indigenous manufacturing capabilities, provide skills development opportunities for nationals and to create jobs. Especially, the UAE has been able to drive through relatively more success via its offset programmes. From being just a large defense items purchaser, the UAE has started taking the first steps towards becoming a defense exporter of repute.
