Saudi wealth fund plans major strategy shift to focus on industry and AI

The Saudi wealth fund is set to unveil a strategy shift focusing on industry and AI. This move aims to recalibrate mega projects amid fiscal pressures.

Saudi Arabia SASA is preparing to announce a new 2026-2030 five-year strategy for its $925 billion Public Investment Fund (PIF), marking the largest recalibration to date of the Vision 2030 program led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The upcoming plan, which is currently under discussion and follows a soft launch with key investors at a Riyadh conference, shifts the kingdom's investment emphasis toward industry, minerals, artificial intelligence, tourism, and clean energy. This strategic pivot involves scaling back or reconfiguring expensive mega projects such as The Line to optimize capital allocation amid reported fiscal pressures.
