Attracting international capital into advanced manufacturing is central to the UAE's long-term economic vision, said Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, UAE Minister of Investment.
Qatar's inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) increased 7% at the end of Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025, reaching approximately QAR157 billion ($43.26 billion).
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's 40% budget and expenditures are now being financed by non-oil revenues, and notably, 90% of FDI in the country is non-oil, said its senior minister at the Future Investment Initiative (FII9) summit in Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia has launched a new National Privatization Strategy to significantly expand the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in delivering and operating large-scale projects and advancing economic diversification in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
As global investment flows slow, Saudi Arabia is moving in the opposite direction. The Kingdom’s disciplined approach to reform, policy certainty and execution under Vision 2030 have created a rare strategic edge in today’s volatile world: stability that investors can trust.
The UAE attracted over $45 billion in foreign direct investment last year, up nearly 50% year-on-year, even as global FDI declined by 11%, said a senior official.
Saudi Arabia’s foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflows for the third quarter of 2025 surged to SAR24.9 billion ($6.6 billion), up 34% over the previous year. The Q3 figure also showed a 5.2% jump when compared to the previous quarter, said a report.
