PIF: Investing in the world, delivering at home
When the Governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) Yasir Al-Rumayyan addressed the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., the discussion went beyond numbers.It offered a window into how Saudi Arabia sees the future of its economy and its role in global markets.The message was clear: investment is not a passive tool for profit, but a national instrument for transformation.The figure that drew attention—PIF, already surpassing the one-trillion-dollar mark, is on track to reach two trillion dollars in assets by 2030—illustrates more than scale.It signals a deliberate strategy to build one of the world’s most influential sovereign wealth funds, global in scope and ambitious in outlook.Selecting the United States as the Fund’s largest external market reflects confidence and maturity in...

PIF: Investing in the world, delivering at home

MBS and the formula behind Saudi Arabia’s rise
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman turned forty, a milestone that highlights the rapid pace of change he has overseen in Saudi Arabia.In less than a decade, the Kingdom has shifted from an oil-dependent state with entrenched social conservatism into a country positioning itself as a global investment hub and a more assertive political actor.At home, the Crown Prince has pursued an agenda of accelerated reform. Restrictions on women’s participation in public life have been eased, while the influence of religious conservatism has been sharply curtailed.These shifts were implemented with a decisiveness that surprised both domestic and international observers. What was long assumed to require gradual, generational change has unfolded within a few years.The foundation of this transformation is...

The annual royal address... an epitome of unprecedented reforms and achievements
The annual royal address before the Saudi Shoura Council has become a well-established tradition; an occasion for the state to unveil its major plans, aspirations, and ambitions in front of the Saudi people. This is in the context of the "unprecedented" structural reform process initiated under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman. One of the most striking features of the royal speech, delivered by the Crown Prince on behalf of the King, was the Saudi leadership's candidness in affirming its commitment to reform, as well as in diversifying the economy, and bringing down dependence on oil revenues. For the first time, non-oil activities account for 56 percent of the Kingdom's gross domestic...

Legal challenges and regulatory responses vis-a-vis anti-dumping in Saudi market  
Since the launch of Vision 2030 by the Crown Prince, the Saudi economy has witnessed a remarkable transformation, positioning the Kingdom as a key destination for foreign investment. A recent report by the Ministry of Investment revealed that over 600 global companies have established their regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia, a figure that underscores the growing confidence in the strength and stability of the Saudi economy. This rapid economic growth has been accompanied by a comprehensive set of regulatory reforms aimed at fostering sustainable development and promoting fair competition within the Saudi market.However, this significant economic appeal was not without its challenges, the most prominent of which were the unfair trade practices employed by some foreign companies. These...

The key to happiness
Humans inherently strive for happiness. They work hard to earn money, embark on adventures, pursue advanced degrees, seek prestigious positions, and aim for great salaries to build large houses, buy magnificent cars, and wear fashionable clothing. Yet, despite having wealth, amenities, and fame, many fail to experience genuine happiness.People take different routes in their search for happiness. Some find it in money, others in physical pleasures. A third group discovers it in fulfilling the soul’s desires, while a fourth finds it in acquiring knowledge, building communication, and serving the needs of others.It is therefore essential to distinguish between pleasure, which is often temporary, and happiness, which is a lasting feeling.Happiness can be puzzling. We often find it more in...

Security, rights, and growth
The Human Rights Commission’s recent meeting hosted at Okaz brought the Commission together with a circle of opinion writers for an open exchange on rights in Saudi Arabia.What stood out was not the venue itself, but the substance: a national institution engaging directly with voices from the media, underscoring that human rights are treated as a subject of public dialogue rather than a closed administrative file.The discussion was both rich and reassuring, highlighting how the Commission’s initiatives extend to foreigners in the Kingdom — residents, workers, visitors, tourists, and investors alike.For any foreigner, security is the first guarantee. Saudi Arabia has positioned itself as a safe destination, welcoming millions of pilgrims annually while also opening its doors to...

Stability first: Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic message to the world
From the early days of its statecraft, Saudi Arabia has adhered to a clear diplomatic doctrine: the pursuit of regional stability, respect for national sovereignty, and a firm stance against interference in the internal affairs of other states.That guiding principle has remained consistent — even as the region has undergone profound transformations.Today, the Kingdom is advancing this doctrine with renewed confidence and broader global engagement. In war-affected Syria, Saudi diplomacy has steadily advocated for humanitarian relief and a political process that maintains state cohesion without legitimizing oppressive outcomes. In the Palestinian territories, Riyadh has worked to revive international momentum toward a just and enduring resolution to a conflict that has long been sidelined...

AI governance… A necessary good
Artificial intelligence is no longer a purely technical matter, nor merely a development in tools of administration and productivity. It has gradually become an influential actor in shaping public decision-making and a silent component embedded within the fabric of policy, economics, and communication.As AI is increasingly deployed across critical sectors—from justice to education, from security to media—the urgent need arises to recalibrate the relationship between humans and algorithms, not only through the lens of efficiency, but also through the imperatives of sovereignty, accountability, and fairness. In this context, AI governance is no longer an optional regulatory step; it is a national and strategic priority.Notably, Saudi Arabia—positioned at the forefront of future-focused...
