Saudi Arabia has introduced new legislation aimed at modernizing its business and regulatory environment. In late October 2026, the Cabinet approved a 271-article Commercial Transactions Law. This framework replaces existing laws regarding commercial papers, books, and general commercial activity to consolidate the legislative structure and support the investment environment.

Following this, in November 2026, the Council of Ministers approved a new consumer protection law. This regulation is intended to align with Vision 2030 by regulating relationships between consumers and suppliers, ensuring market transparency, and preventing unfair trade practices or monopolies.
