saudi arabia efficiency
With 26 years of experience in the banking and government sectors, Al Saif is no stranger to the term investment. He led the public investment fund’s strategy department, successfully developed the Green Finance Framework, and authorized the fund to become the world’s first sovereign fund to issue a 100-year green bond.
This action was not just an agreement, but a clear declaration of Saudi efficiency’s ability to innovate generational financing solutions.
Planner’s mindset
From working in the banking sector to setting up the National Debt Management Center at the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Al Saif has gained experience combining the flexibility of the private sector with the discipline of government operations.
He has now moved to the ministry from his seat on the boards of NEOM, ACWA Power and Emaar Economics, where he is accumulating important files aimed at turning Saudi Arabia into one of the world’s leading investment destinations.
Mr. Al Saif joins the new office with the spirit of a “financier” and a “planner”, with a view to facilitating the flow of foreign capital and localizing quality investments. We will lead a new phase of “sustainable investment” and its compass of “visible results.”
