Saudi VC Market Surges Past 2024 Total in Six Months
Saudi Arabia has attracted SR3.2 billion in venture capital funding for startups during the first half of 2025, overtaking the Kingdom's total VC investment for the whole of 2024. MAGNiTT data show Saudi accounted for 56 per cent of all VC inflows into the Middle East and North Africa region in that period. Investor confidence in the Kingdom is heightened by its alignment with Vision 2030 reforms and concerted government backing. The 114 venture capital deals completed in H1 represent a record for Saudi Arabia, underscoring robust market momentum. This performance marks a 116 per cent annual increase in dollars invested compared with H1 of 2024, and a 31 per cent jump in the total number of deals year‑on‑year. The Kingdom's dominance is even more pronounced considering the UAE, its closest competitor, secured only $447 million across an identical number of transactions. ADVERTISEMENT Fintech continues to lead the investment wave, with payment and lending platforms drawing substantial capital. Yet new segments such as enterprise software and edtech are emerging rapidly, supported by local VC funds and international investors chasing mid-stage opportunities. A premium MAGNiTT report highlighted that Saudi Arabia surpassed both the UAE and Singapore during the first quarter. Early- and growth-stage funding increased significantly, buoyed by local investors and sovereign capital rolling out fresh programmes and accelerators. The government's role is clearly evident. Public investment vehicles such as Saudi Venture Capital Company continue to provide foundational support. SVC's CEO, Dr Nabeel Koshak, emphasised this intervention: 'The Kingdom's leading position…comes as a result of many governmental initiatives…launched to stimulate the VC and startups ecosystem within the Saudi Vision 2030 programmes. We at SVC are committed to continuing to lead the development of the ecosystem'. Sovereign-led schemes including LEAP and a series of early-stage programmes funded by the state have helped attract both domestic and overseas capital. MAGNiTT noted the interplay between public-sector drive and private-sector participation as a key factor behind the surge. Growth-stage rounds are now dominating the landscape. Local funds have broadened their spectrum, actively backing Series A and B startups. International investors are following suit, particularly in fintech and enterprise solutions tailored to market-specific needs. Comparatively, Singapore led emerging markets with $1.28 billion across 120 deals in H1, yet its funding volume fell by 37 per cent year‑on‑year and deal numbers declined 31 per cent. This contrast points to Saudi's sustained upward trajectory amid weakening growth elsewhere. Other emerging markets in the MENA and adjacent regions lagged behind: Türkiye raised $226 million, Vietnam $216 million, Egypt $185 million, among others.

Egypt's PALM Secures Funding to Expand Goal-Oriented Savings Platform
Egyptian fintech startup PALM has closed its pre-seed funding round, led by 4DX Ventures with participation from Plus VC and several international angel investors. The company provides a goal-based savings platform that integrates traditional investment tools with behavioral nudges to support users in meeting financial goals such as education, healthcare, marriage, or major purchases. PALM was founded by Mazen El Kerdany and Ahmed Ashour. El Kerdany is an investment executive with experience managing approximately US$2 billion, previously holding senior roles at EFG Hermes, Beltone Financial Holding, and Post for Investment. Ashour brings a background in technology and finance, with prior roles at Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and several fintech startups in EMEA and the US. 'The challenge isn't the ability to save but the lack of accessible tools that deliver real returns, diversification, and align with personal goals,' said El Kerdany, who also serves as CEO. 'PALM enables that by embedding investment into the spending process, making it more mindful, goal-driven, and outcome-focused.' PALM's platform allocates savings across asset classes such as fixed income, equities, and precious metals. It also partners with merchants to offer users exclusive deals, aiming to reduce out-of-pocket spending while improving returns. According to the company, this model supports financial planning while promoting broader goals like financial inclusion and capital market participation, as outlined in Egypt's Vision 2030. With the new funding, PALM plans to scale user acquisition, expand product offerings, and grow its network of partners. The company aims to make saving more accessible and aligned with everyday life in Egypt. PALM plans to expand its reach beyond Egypt in the long term, targeting users across the Mediterranean.

Saudi Arabia's annual inflation accelerates to 2.3% in June
Inflation in Saudi Arabia accelerated to 2.3% in June compared to the same month last year and was also up slightly from 2.2% in May, government data showed on Tuesday. Inflation has hovered between 2% and 2.3% since the beginning of this year, mainly driven by rises in housing rents. It stood at 1.5% in June last year. Rents for housing increased by 7.6% due to villa prices rising by 7.1%, the General Authority for Statistics said. Housing was the primary reason for prices in the combined housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels category climbing to 6.5%. The Saudi government last month announced steps to balance Riyadh's real estate market, including setting aside some price-capped plots for Saudi citizens. Saudi Arabia also recently approved a new Real Estate Ownership and Investment Law, which will ease property purchases by foreigners when it takes effect next year. Saudi Arabia is in the process of building several massive new developments around Riyadh as part of its Vision 2030 program of diversifying the economy away from oil and boosting both tourism and the private sector. The new law is expected to balance out supply and demand in the long term, but is dependent on the success of the city's real estate projects getting completed on schedule. The International Monetary Fund expects Saudi inflation to remain steady at around 2%, supported by the riyal's peg to the U.S. dollar, domestic subsidies and "an elastic supply of expatriate labor".
