1. Openness To, and Restrictions Upon, Foreign Investment
Policies Towards Foreign Direct Investment
With the help of relieving social regulations, Saudi Arabia entertainment and sports have also called on foreign investment. Formerly banned cinemas now count hundreds of buildings throughout the kingdom, and SAG has opened a production studio for en d-t o-end film production. The SAG is aiming to hold global events such as the 2034 World Cup, and has already held the American Cup, European Golf Tour, Dilliya EPRIX, Dakar Rally, and Saudi F1 Grand Prix. Saudi Arabia has successfully invited the International Expo (EXPO 2030) in 2030 and has provided new opportunities to foreign investors. In addition, recent film festivals and concerts have shown strong demand for art and cultural events.
Saudi Arabia's Medical Private Program provides opportunities for foreign investment. Saudi Arabia also aims to be a leader in the nex t-generation technology and digital infrastructure in partnership with hig h-tech companies. Finally, Saudi Arabia is eager to invest in green projects related to renewable energy, hydrogen, waste management, and carbon recovery to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in greening and technical sharing initiatives.
Despite these investment opportunities, investors' concerns on business prediction, transparency, and political risks are persistent. With the pressure of producing no n-oil income and increasing the employment opportunities for the Saudi people, the Saudi government will implement measures that may weaken the country's investment environment in the future. Raise commissions for foreign workers and their dependents, and "Saudi" policies that require specific companies to assemble the employment of Saudi workers, reducing productivity and increased costs in some private sector activities. Connected. In addition, Saudi's policy, in which a multinational company contracting with SAG establishes a regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia, lacks the clarity of application and implementation, causing confusion of foreign investors. Since the late 2023, the Fushiist's missile attacks in the Red Sea have increased the risk of commercial ships and increased transportation costs. The US Trade Representative (USTR) excluded Saudi Arabia from the special 301 report in 2022, but there are some concerns about the execution of intellectual property rights and regulatory data.
Saudi Arabia recorded an estimated $ 27 billion surplus in 2022 and became a profit since 2014. With the rise in crude oil prices and the "expanded expenditure" on the Vision 2030 project, it was in the deficit of $ 21. 9 billion in 2023. The budget of 2024 is expected to be $ 21. 06 billion in 2024, and a further deficit in 2025 and 2026.
SAG aims to promote economic development by $ 3 trillion, relocates foreign expertise and technology to Saudi Arabia, creates employment of Saudi Arabia, and aims to increase no n-oil exports in Saudi Arabia. 。
The National Investment Strategy, released in October 2021, outlines plans for investment in sectors such as manufacturing, renewable energy, transport and logistics, tourism, digital infrastructure, and healthcare. The strategy aims to grow the Saudi economy by increasing the private sector's contribution to 65% of total GDP by 2030 and foreign direct investment to 5. 7% of total GDP.

Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority launched Saudi Seasons Initiative in 2019, attracting millions of tourists to tourism and cultural events held in 11 regions in Japan.
- SAG also demands overseas investments in the "economic cities" and "Giga Projects" at various construction stages. These projects are larg e-scale sel f-contained developments in various regions focusing on specific industries such as technology, energy, logistics, tourism, entertainment, and infrastructure. Many of these Initiative are developed by a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), a government fund of the kingdom. These projects include:
- NEOM: A lon g-term development project of $ 1. 55 trillion that built a future "independent economic zone" and a city in the northwestern part of Saudi Arabia. This concept includes the following:
The Rhine: It is an urban smart city with a total length of 105 miles, there is no car or a road, and carbon dioxide is not discharged. The project has created 380, 000 employment by 2030 and aims to contribute to $ 48 billion in domestic GDP.

Saudi Arabia's investment and partnership opportunities for the mining sector are continuing to expand, and the country's undeveloped domestic mineral resources are currently $ 2. 5 trillion.

SAG aims to increase the number of GDPs in the department by 2030, reduce imports $ 9. 8 billion, and create 200, 000 direct and indirect employment. Saudi Arabia's stat e-owned mining mining company, Ma'aden, led the country's Mining Investment Initiative.

Capital Markets and Portfolio Investment
Stakeholder consultation on regulatory issues is inconsistent. Some Saudi Arabian organizations are enthusiastic about consulting companies affected by the regulatory process, while others tend to issue regulations without any consultation at all. Proposed laws and regulations are not always published as drafts for public comment. However, an increasing number of government agencies are soliciting public comments through their websites or the National Competitiveness Center's public consultation platform "HYPERLINK" https://istitlaa. ncc. gov. sa/en/Pages/default. aspx "Istitlaa". That said, stakeholder consultation processes and procedures generally remain opaque and are not codified in laws or regulations. There are no private sector or government efforts to restrict foreign participation in available industry standard-setting consortia and organizations. There is also no informal regulatory process managed by NGOs or private entities.
Saudi Arabia uses technical regulations developed by the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO), the Saudi Arabian Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), and the Gulf Standards Organization (GSO). While GCC member states continue to work toward common requirements and standards, each member state, and Saudi Arabia through SASO, maintains a great deal of autonomy in the development, implementation, and enforcement of technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures in their own territories. Technical differences between GSO and Saudi Arabia are difficult to resolve. Recently, Saudi Arabia has been moving toward adopting a single standard for technical regulations. This standard is often based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, to the exclusion of other international standards, such as those developed by U. S.-based Standards Development Organizations (SDOs). Stakeholder consultation on regulatory issues is inconsistent.

Money and Banking System

S.-based Standards Development Organizations (SDOs).
Saudi Arabia's exclusion of these other international standards, which are often used by U. S. manufacturers, could pose significant market entry barriers to industrial and consumer products exported from the United States. The U. S. government has engaged Saudi Arabian authorities on the principles of international standards from the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade and encouraged them to adopt standards developed in accordance with those principles into Saudi Arabia's technical regulations, allowing all products that meet those standards to enter the Saudi market. Several U. S.-based standards organizations, including SDOs and individual companies, have also been involved with SASO, with varying success, to maintain market access for U. S. products, ranging from electrical equipment to footwear.
As a WTO member, Saudi Arabia must notify the WTO's Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade of all proposed technical regulations, and the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Committee on various agricultural products. Saudi Arabia has not always notified the WTO of regulatory updates in a timely manner.
Saudi Arabia's legal system is derived from Islamic law, known as Sharia. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's commercial law is still developing. In 2016, Saudi Arabia took an important step toward improving its dispute resolution regime with the establishment of the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (see Dispute Resolution section below). Through its Commercial Law Development Program, the U. S. Department of Commerce has provided capacity-building programs to Saudi Arabian actors in areas such as contract enforcement, public procurement, and bankruptcy. In 2020, the SAG approved the Commercial Courts Law, reorganizing the Kingdom's commercial courts and improving court procedures.
The Ministry of Justice Saudi Arabia has supervised the Charli a-based judicial system, but most ministries have set up a committee to judge projects under its jurisdiction. The judicial and regulations decisions can be appealed. In Saudi Arabia, many disputes that are processed in court are processed through government agencies and processes within ministries in the United States. In general, the Saudi Arabia complaint processing committee is under the jurisdiction of commercial disputes between the government and private contractors. The council also examines whether all foreign arbitration and foreign court ruling are compliant with Charia. This judging process may be prolonged, and the result is unpredictable.
