The survey indicates that the easing of geopolitical tensions has had a favorable impact on local economic sentiment.
The survey results come at a time when many economies are grappling with the effects of geopolitical tensions and fluctuating energy prices. The US-Iran relationship has historically influenced global markets, and any signs of stabilization can have ripple effects across various sectors.
