Energy
Unlike previous investment cycles, the current round of investment projects is marked by heavy private sector participation with US$79 billion in private-sector energy projects under development. Private investment is expected to grow even further as the economy expands and the Saudi business environment continues to improve.
Activity in the world’s premier energy economy will develop rapidly as large-scale capital spending is applied to building new capacity and expansion of existing facilities.
Refining projects by private investors are also under consideration. In addition to direct energy-related investments the sector will be supported by an estimated US$140 billion in general infrastructure outlays including the Economic Cities and transport links.
With the world’s largest oil reserves supported by a highly developed energy infrastructure, Saudi Arabia offers investment opportunities across the value chain in a number of energy and energy-related subsectors. These include:
- Crude Oil Refining
- Petrochemicals
- Fertilizers
- Power and Water
- Mining and Metals Processing
