With the world’s deepest petroleum reserves and current account surpluses consistently in excess of 20-25% of GDP, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is flush two of the world’s scarcest resources: energy and investment capital.
Secure, low-cost access to fuel and feedstock furnish excellent project economics for Saudi-based industry. At the same time, public and private-sector actors in the Saudi economy are using their strong cash positions to dramatically improve the Kingdom’s infrastructure and business facilities through projects such as the planned Economic Cities. Amid tightness in global liquidity and energy markets, Saudi Arabia remains a cash- and energy-rich investment platform where business can flourish.
