GASTAT defines FDI as the investment that reflects a long-term relationship and permanent interest of economic entities residing in an economy other than the Saudi economy. This means that the foreign investor individually, or a group of foreign investors, owns 10% or more of the voting power of the shareholders, enabling them to control or influence the decision-making process to serve their interests. Such process is called FDIs.

 

FDI survey covers all major economic activities according to the national classification of economic activities ISIC4.
