Our country to be a pioneering and successful global model of

INVESTING FOR THE LONG-TERM

MAXIMIZING 

 

 

 

OUR INVESTMENT 

CAPABILITIES 

The ongoing privatization of state-owned assets, including 

leading companies, property and other assets, will bring in 

new and more diverse revenues for the Saudi government. 

This  will  further  enhance  our  financial  resources  and 

economic stability, which will be reinvested for long-term 

impact. 

We will develop further the sophistication of our investment 

vehicles,  particularly  after  transferring  the  ownership  of 

Aramco to the Public Investment Fund, which will become 

the  largest  sovereign  wealth  fund  in  the  world.  We  will 

increase  the  efficiency  of  the  fund’s  management  and 

improve its return on investment, with the aim of diversifying 

our government resources and our economy

.

The  Public  Investment  Fund  will  not  compete  with  the 

private  sector,  but  instead  help  unlock  strategic  sectors 

requiring intensive capital inputs. This will contribute towards 

developing entirely new economic sectors and establishing 

durable national corporations.

JOBS, ALTHOUGH WE ARE ALREADY 

AMONG THE 20 LARGEST ECONOMIES IN 

THE WORLD, OUR AMBITIONS ARE EVEN 

GREATER. WE ASPIRE TO HAVE AN EVEN 

HIGHER RANKING BY 

2030

, DESPITE THE 

HEADWINDS OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC 

SLOWDOWN AND THE EXPECTED IMPACT 

OF OUR STRUCTURAL ECONOMIC 

REFORMS. THIS REQUIRES US TO INVEST 

IN ALL OUR RESOURCES IN ORDER TO 

DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY, UNLEASH THE 

CAPABILITIES OF OUR PROMISING 

ECONOMIC SECTORS AND PRIVATIZE 

SOME GOVERNMENT SERVICES

Building  on  the  Kingdom’s  leading  position  and  historic 

alliances,  we  plan  to  enter  long-term  partnerships  with 

neighboring and friendly countries for knowledge transfer 

and trade.

Our Vision  is  to  maximize  our  investment  capabilities  by 

participating in large international companies and emerging 

technologies from around the world. This will ensure that we 

become market makers in selected sectors, as well as a leader 

in competitively managing assets, funding and investment.

All of this will require the formation of an advanced financial 

and  capital  market  open  to  the  world,  allowing  greater 

funding opportunities and stimulating economic growth. To 

this end, we will continue facilitating access to investing and 

trading in the stock markets. We will smooth the process of 

listing private Saudi companies and state-owned enterprises, 

including Aramco. This will require deepening liquidity in our 

capital markets, fortifying the role of the debt market and 

paving the way for the derivatives market.
