Project Finance in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has developed one of the most active and sophisticated project finance markets in the emerging world, driven by decades of experience financing large-scale petrochemical, power, water, and industrial projects. The Kingdom’s project finance market has historically closed between USD 15 to 25 billion in new financings annually, and this volume is expected to increase substantially through 2030 as Vision 2030 infrastructure projects reach financial close.

Saudi Sukuk Market

Saudi Arabia has established itself as one of the world’s preeminent sukuk markets, reflecting both the Kingdom’s centrality within the global Islamic finance ecosystem and the deliberate policy choices made under Vision 2030 to develop a deep, liquid domestic fixed-income market. Sukuk, commonly described as Islamic bonds, are Sharia-compliant financial instruments that provide returns to investors through contractual claims on underlying assets or business activities rather than through interest payments, which are prohibited under Islamic law. The Saudi sukuk market encompasses sovereign issuances by the National Debt Management Centre (NDMC), quasi-sovereign issuances by government-related entities, and a growing volume of corporate sukuk from Saudi private-sector issuers.
