The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's flag

Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to Saudi Arabia rose to $13.8 billion in the second quarter of 2021, hitting their highest level since late 2010, according to the Ministry of Investment.

 

The huge value of FDI inflows came after the $12.4 billion infrastructure deal closed by Saudi Aramco with a global investor consortium.

 

Despite the major contribution of the deal to the total value, FDI inflows saw a remarkable growth in Q2 year-on-year (YoY), with 56% to nearly $1.4 billion (excluding the deal).

 

Total FDI in the first six months of 2021 amounted to $15.6 billion.

 

The following table shows the quarterly FDI inflows to Saudi Arabia since the beginning of 2017:
