Zain KSA reports 28% increase in H1 net profit
With revenues Reaching SAR 5.344 Billion Zain KSA, a leading provider of telecommunications and digital services in Saudi Arabia, announced its financial results for the first half of 2025. The Company reported a 5% year-on-year growth in total revenues to SAR 5.344 billion. This drove a 28% y-o-y surge in net profit, reaching SAR 220 million for the period. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) also rose by 7%, to SAR 1.664 billion. These results reflect the Company's sustained positive financial performance, driven by revenue from growing business operations and ongoing investments that aim to deliver a superior user experience. The sustained growth stems from Zain KSA's expanding portfolio of 5G products, solutions, and services. This is also a result of the broader reach of 4G and 5G networks across the Kingdom, as well as a higher demand for direct consumer offerings, particularly through the all-digital service Yaqoot. The Company continues to see strong performance from its investments in adjacent markets, including FinTech, led by the increasing demand for services offered by Tamam. Commenting on the results, Eng. Saad bin Abdulrahman AlSadhan, CEO of Zain KSA, stated: 'Innovation and progress centered on national and human development are at the heart of Zain KSA's strategy. Our commitment is to support nationwide progress and enrich the lives of people, and we place these priorities at the forefront of every strategic investment, in line with Saudi Vision 2030's economic, social, and digital goals.' AlSadhan added: 'Our H1 2025 financial results reaffirm the continued growth of our operations and financial metrics, anchored in sustainability and effective governance. This performance has further cemented our position as the telecoms and digital services provider of choice in the Kingdom. During Hajj season 1446H, Zain KSA demonstrated its digital leadership by enhancing pilgrims' experiences through AI-powered services, delivering a truly exceptional digital journey backed by our advanced 5G infrastructure. We began deploying 5G Stand-Alone network over the 600 MHz low band and successfully extended 4G and 5G coverage within Riyadh's Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Tunnel, one of the longest tunnels in the Middle East.' 'Within Zain KSA, we remain focused on building a healthy, sustainable workplace that prioritizes employee wellbeing and supports professional growth. Our efforts were honored at the Council of Health Insurance (CHI) Excellence Awards 2024, where we received two accolades for Best Employer Health & Wellbeing Program for Large Enterprises and Health Awareness Excellence for Large Enterprises.' Committed to delivering a best-in-class digital experience, Zain KSA has launched a pioneering service enabling visitors to Saudi Arabia to register and verify their SIM cards through Yaqoot, using the Ministry of Interior's 'Absher' app authentication service (WTHIQ). This innovative integration makes Yaqoot the first digital telecom service in Saudi Arabia to offer online SIM verification.

Saudi Arabia Unveils New Real Estate Ownership Law for Foreigners
Saudi Arabia has revealed the complete details of a groundbreaking law that regulates real estate ownership by non-Saudis, following its approval by the Cabinet earlier this month. The law, which will be enacted 180 days from its publication, signals a significant shift in the Kingdom's stance towards foreign ownership of property, opening up new opportunities for individuals, companies, and non-profit entities abroad. The law, published in the official gazette Umm Al-Qura, outlines a comprehensive framework allowing non-Saudis to acquire property or establish real rights over land in the country. The key element of the reform is its establishment of specific geographic zones where foreign ownership is permitted, a move expected to attract considerable international investment. The Cabinet will play a pivotal role in defining the boundaries of these designated areas, which are likely to be concentrated in key urban and economic hubs such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province. While the precise locations are yet to be announced, officials indicate that the decision will be based on strategic economic priorities, aiming to stimulate growth and diversification in critical sectors like tourism, hospitality, and logistics. ADVERTISEMENT One of the core principles of the new law is its flexibility. Unlike previous regulations, which were highly restrictive, the law grants non-Saudis the opportunity to own real estate in various forms, including commercial and residential properties. The legislation outlines conditions under which foreign entities can acquire land, offering them the chance to leverage the Kingdom's thriving economy and vibrant business environment. This legal shift is expected to have a transformative impact on Saudi Arabia's real estate market. Analysts predict an influx of foreign capital as investors look to take advantage of the Kingdom's growing appeal as a regional hub. The move is also seen as a step towards diversifying the economy, in line with the objectives set out in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to reduce the Kingdom's dependence on oil revenues and foster sustainable growth through non-oil sectors. Experts note that while the law represents a major departure from previous policies, it does not open up the entire country to foreign ownership. Instead, the policy is focused on ensuring that foreign property holdings contribute meaningfully to the national economy. The Cabinet will likely impose further regulations to balance the interests of local stakeholders with the benefits of foreign investment. The move could foster job creation, provide a boost to construction and development projects, and potentially increase the demand for high-quality infrastructure in designated zones. The new law also highlights Saudi Arabia's efforts to modernise its regulatory environment, providing clarity for international investors who have long been wary of the Kingdom's real estate market due to its complex legal framework. While non-Saudis have previously been able to invest in real estate through specific channels like joint ventures and special economic zones, this new legislation offers a more straightforward path for foreign ownership, which could position Saudi Arabia as a competitive player in the global real estate market. For real estate developers and global companies, this development could mean greater opportunities to tap into a burgeoning market. Large-scale projects, such as the NEOM city and Red Sea tourism initiatives, could see increased international interest as foreign ownership regulations become more transparent and accessible. ADVERTISEMENT However, there are still questions about the long-term implications of these changes. While the law offers new avenues for foreign investment, there are concerns about the potential impact on local property prices and the availability of affordable housing for Saudi citizens. Critics argue that an influx of foreign capital might inflate property values, making it harder for Saudis to purchase homes. The government is expected to address these concerns through policies that safeguard the interests of the local population, ensuring that housing remains affordable for citizens. The government's strategy also includes efforts to ensure that foreign investments contribute to the broader goals of economic diversification. By allowing foreign ownership in select zones, the Kingdom hopes to align property investments with its broader economic objectives, particularly in sectors like tourism, entertainment, and high-tech industries. For non-Saudis looking to invest, the new law provides a clearer roadmap for property ownership. Investors will need to navigate a system that offers greater transparency and less bureaucratic red tape than previous regulations. While specific details on the process of acquiring property remain to be fully clarified, the law marks a significant shift toward openness, making it more appealing to foreign capital.
