His Excellency the Saudi Minister of Finance and Chairman of the Financial Sector Development Program, opened the second edition of Money20/20 Middle East, affirming that the gathering of financial sector leaders, investors, and innovators in Riyadh reflects the Kingdom’s attractive financial and investment environment and its ability to navigate change with confidence and resilience.
Minister Aljadaan noted that Saudi Vision 2030’s entry into its third phase, focused on maximizing impact and building on the gains achieved, reinforces this direction and raises the level of ambition for the period ahead. This includes enhancing market efficiency, enabling the private sector to grow and compete, strengthening the Kingdom’s ability to attract capital, and expanding investment opportunities.
Minister Aljadaan explained that, throughout its journey, the Financial Sector Development Program has contributed to establishing a deeper, more diversified, and better-prepared financial environment by advancing legislative and regulatory frameworks, deepening markets, expanding financing and investment options, and preparing the financial infrastructure to accommodate emerging technologies and innovative business models.
He added that the progress achieved across the financial sector is an extension of the transformation launched under Saudi Vision 2030 and the enablers and reforms it has introduced. These efforts have contributed to improving market efficiency, broadening the scope of investment and innovation, and reinforcing the financial sector’s role as a key enabler of economic growth. He stressed that the sector’s ability to support growth is closely linked to its capacity to navigate change efficiently while preserving confidence and stability, pointing to the resilience demonstrated by the Saudi financial sector amid recent economic and geopolitical developments, underpinned by robust regulatory and institutional frameworks and strong levels of capital and liquidity.
