Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund Pledges $70 Billion Annually for Vision 2030 [TheGuru=HongSungHwan Lee] Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), plans to invest KRW 90 trillion annually starting in 2026 to fulfill its Vision 2030. "We plan to increase our annual capital deployment to $70 billion (about 93 trillion won) after 2025," PIF Governor Yasir Osman Alumayan said at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference in Miami, U.S., on Nov. 22, according to industry sources. Currently, PIFs invest between $40 billion and $50 billion (about $53 trillion and $67 trillion) annually. The fund invests 70 percent of its funds in Saudi Arabia and 20 to 25 percent abroad. "The share of foreign investments has decreased, but the volume has continued to grow," Alumayan said. "PIFs invested $100 billion (about $133 trillion) in each country between 2017 and 2023, creating more than 103,000 jobs," Alumayan said, emphasizing that "we have made a significant contribution to the U.S. economy." The PIF is the world's sixth-largest sovereign wealth fund with $600 billion in assets under management and is a key source of funding for Vision 2030 reforms. It is chaired by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, the country's de facto ruler. Saudi Arabia is implementing Vision 2030, a mid- to long-term development plan to move away from an oil-centric economy. It is a strategic national evolution plan to reduce the Saudi economy's dependence on oil, diversify its economic structure, and promote healthcare, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. The goal is to expand non-oil exports from 16% in 2016 to 50% in 2030...
