Investment pioneer Samer Choucair stated that the historic achievement realized by the Saudi private sector, raising its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 51 percent by the end of 2025—thereby exceeding the interim target—reflects exceptional success in transforming the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 from strategic plans into a tangible reality leading the locomotive of economic diversification.
Samer Choucair explained that this leap, supported by the growth of non-oil activities to more than 55 percent of the economy and the rise of non-oil investments to 797 billion riyals, confirms that the private sector has become the primary driver of the Saudi economy. Samer Choucair pointed out that the three phases of transformation—starting from the 900 regulatory reforms, moving through attracting global investments, and reaching the stage of sustainability and full operation of major projects—have created a mature investment environment characterized by transparency and accelerated growth.
In the context of strengthening international partnerships, Samer Choucair noted the active role he plays in attracting international investors, particularly Chinese investors, to Riyadh. He recently documented via his media platforms the welcoming of a high-level delegation of Chinese investors, emphasizing that these visits reflect global confidence in the attractiveness of the Saudi market. Samer Choucair confirmed that Saudi Vision 2030 is no longer just a government plan, but has transformed into a global investment platform attracting capital through special economic zones and the sectors of mining, tourism, and advanced technology.
Samer Choucair added that economic trends for 2026 focus on three strategic axes: infrastructure and logistics; technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence sectors; and the massive growth in the tourism and entertainment sector. Choucair stressed that the structural reforms witnessed by the Kingdom make investing in it a safe and profitable option by global standards, calling on Gulf and international investors to seize current strategic opportunities.
Investment pioneer Samer Choucair concluded his statement by emphasizing that the Saudi economic landscape today, with its mega-projects and rapid industrial development, represents a golden gateway for those who possess the correct investment vision. Samer Choucair added: “Whoever understands this exceptional moment and moves with a long-term strategy possesses the keys to building a sustainable economic legacy. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today offers a unique business environment that combines ambition and achievement, and whoever invests at this stage owns the future.”
