Saudi Arabia begins enforcement of higher localization rates in pharmacy, dentistry, and engineering sectors
RIYADH — The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) announced the implementation of updated Saudization targets in key professional sectors, starting Sunday, July 27, 2025. The move comes in collaboration with supervisory bodies including the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing. The updated Saudization plan targets pharmacy, dentistry, and technical engineering professions as part of ongoing efforts to expand the participation of Saudi nationals in the labor market and create productive employment opportunities across the Kingdom. In partnership with the Ministry of Health, the Saudization rate for pharmacy roles has been raised to 35% in community pharmacies and medical complexes, 65% in hospital pharmacy operations, and 55% in other pharmacy-related activities. This applies to establishments with five or more employees in pharmacy roles, with a minimum wage threshold of SR7,000 to count toward localization quotas. Dentistry jobs are now required to meet a 45% Saudization rate in the first phase, also effective today. The decision applies to facilities employing three or more dental professionals, with the minimum salary for inclusion in the quota set at SR9,000. Meanwhile, in coordination with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing, technical engineering professions must now meet a 30% Saudization target in establishments with five or more employees in these roles. A minimum monthly wage of SR5,000 has been set to qualify for localization compliance. The ministry said it has published procedural guides on its official website detailing the required quotas and application mechanisms, urging all establishments to comply in order to avoid penalties. The update continues the Kingdom's broader nationalization strategy within the private sector. While the Ministry of Health will oversee the implementation of Saudization in dental and pharmacy professions, the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing will monitor compliance in technical engineering fields. Private sector entities will also benefit from support programs offered by the Human Resources and Social Development system, including recruitment incentives, training, job retention, and priority access to Saudization assistance through the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF). © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.

The CMA approves an incentive measure to support credit-rated debt instruments
The Capital Market Authority's (CMA's) Board approved an incentive measure for public offerings of debt instruments, granting priority in the review of public offering applications to issuers or issuances that have obtained a credit rating from a CMA-licensed credit rating agency. This measure will remain in effect until the end of 2026. This initiative comes as part of the CMA's commitment to enhancing the efficiency and transparency of the debt instruments market and supporting its role as a primary source of business financing and economic growth. It also aims to encourage issuers of publicly offered debt instruments to obtain credit ratings to broaden investor participation and strengthen the market's depth and efficiency. This measure forms part of the CMA's strategy to deepen the Saudi capital market and enhance its attractiveness and transparency, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to diversify funding sources and promote financial sustainability. A credit rating is not merely an indicator of the issuer's creditworthiness; rather, it serves as an effective tool enabling investors to make well-informed investment decisions. Through this measure, the CMA aims to build a more mature and stable debt instruments market with a diversified investor base and strengthened confidence among all participants. It also seeks to expand the investor base by enabling them to assess the risks of investing in publicly offered debt instruments, in addition to accelerating the review procedures by the CMA. This measure is expected to enhance companies' access to the debt instruments market to meet their financing needs, stimulate the number of issuances, and increase the attractiveness of offerings to investors. A credit rating facilitates the financial advisor's ability to market the offering, particularly to institutional and qualified investors who rely on such ratings in their investment decisions. A credit rating is defined as a forward-looking opinion on credit risk, which reflects the likelihood of issuers defaulting on their financial obligations in the short or long term, as well as the potential severity of financial losses for creditors in the event of default. Issuers use credit ratings to signal their creditworthiness and attract investors, while investors rely on them to support their credit analysis of issuers and debt instruments.
