Saudi private sector to invest $1.3 trillion in diversification by 2030: Crown Prince

The private sector investment is part of the 12 trillion riyals worth of investments in the economy planned by 2030, Prince Mohammed said in a televised speech.

The amount also includes 3 trillion riyals from the country’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and 4 trillion riyals as part of a new Saudi investment strategy, he said.

The latest move is an effort by the Saudi government to bring in the private sector alongside the PIF to help diversify the economy to wean it off its dependence on oil.

Crude oil exports still account for more than half the kingdom’s income. ($1 = 3.7503 riyals)
