BlackRock Highlights Saudi Arabia as Top Investment Destination
The report focused on the transformation of the capital markets in the Middle East, led by Saudi Arabia, from being a region primarily exporting capital to a burgeoning investment destination. This shift is supported by economic transformation programs and increased spending on infrastructure and technology. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the pioneers in market growth, with greater local capital deployment and rising investments from sovereign wealth funds. Saudi Arabia accounts for 61% of the region’s funds and leads in capital-raising activities, with Gulf company profits increasing by 23.1% in the first half of 2026. Future growth is expected to be driven by a focus on infrastructure, data centers, and artificial intelligence, benefiting from government policies and economic diversification—especially as family offices and investments in non-traditional sectors continue to grow.
