Saudi Arabia-China economic and financial cooperation

Overview

Saudi Arabia and China are working to deepen economic and financial ties through expanded market connectivity and strategic industrial partnerships.

Initial efforts focused on financial integration, with Saudi Tadawul CEO Mohammed Al-Rumaih outlining plans to connect Chinese investors to Saudi equity and debt markets. This includes cross-listings and capital raising to facilitate two-way capital flows, building on previous ETF launches in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Subsequent discussions at the Select Financial Markets Forum in Shanghai emphasized broader strategic cooperation. Dr. Saad Al-Shahrani, Deputy Minister of Investment, highlighted the goal of building industrial value chains and invited Chinese firms to invest in next-generation industries. These efforts align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which has seen significant growth in foreign direct investment and a rise in non-oil local investment.
