Future Investment Initiative 2025: Saudi Arabia’s Policy Reforms and Global Competition
Lubna Olayan, representing Olayan Holdings and a prominent Saudi business figure, highlighted the kingdom’s recent investment law reforms granting equal treatment to foreign and domestic investors—a structural upgrade that levels competitive dynamics and enhances investor confidence. She cited booming sectors including real estate, data centers, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy as evidence of diversification momentum across Saudi Arabia’s economy.
The Future Investment Initiative 2025 functioned as both showcase and strategy session—a platform for Saudi Arabia to demonstrate its economic transformation while global financial leaders assessed capital allocation opportunities amid technological disruption, geopolitical realignment, and the acceleration of digital financial systems. As the conference concluded, consensus emerged: the next era of global finance will be defined not merely by capital flows, but by technological adaptation, policy agility, and the integration of emerging markets as central rather than peripheral actors in shaping worldwide economic strategy.​
