Foreign Investments in Saudi Arabia Rise 16% to Over SAR 3 Trillion
Foreign investments in Saudi Arabia surged 16% in early 2025, surpassing SAR 3 trillion for the first time, with net inflows rising 44% and direct investment hitting nearly SAR 1 trillion. Foreign investment in Saudi Arabia rose in early 2025, reaching SAR 3.05 trillion by the end of the first quarter - a 16% increase compared to the same period in 2024, according to the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). This is the first time the Kingdom's foreign investment stock has crossed the SAR 3 trillion mark. Direct foreign investment accounted for SAR 995.5 billion, or roughly a third of the total. Portfolio investments, including shares, equity funds, and debt instruments, reached SAR 1.24 trillion, while other forms of investment contributed SAR 808.4 billion. The Kingdom also saw a 44% increase in net inflows, which reached SAR 22.2 billion, fuelled by a 24% rise in inward flows and a sharp 54% drop in outflows, down to SAR 1.8 billion. In 2024, Saudi Arabia attracted USD 26 billion in foreign direct investment, exceeding the government's annual target. However, the figures reflect growing global confidence in the Kingdom's economic reforms and investment climate as part of Vision 2030.
