Participating in the fourth edition of the FII PRIORITY Miami 2026 summit, Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Aljadaan joined a global gathering of business leaders, policymakers, and investors, held from March 25–27 in Miami, United States.

His participation came within a session titled:
“The Changemakers Board: A New Geography of Investment,”
which explored shifts in the global economy and the future direction of investments amid rapidly evolving economic and geopolitical dynamics.

Determinants of Investment Decisions

According to the Saudi Ministry of Finance, Minister Aljadaan emphasized that investors evaluate opportunities based on key fundamentals, most notably:

• Stability
• Resilience
• Growth potential
• Clarity of long-term vision and planning
• Risk-adjusted returns

He noted that countries best positioned to attract investment are those with strong foundations enabling them to respond effectively to change and external challenges.

Saudi Arabia.. A Model of Resilience

Minister Aljadaan stressed that Saudi Arabia has embedded this approach through a clear vision and long-term objectives, making resilience an integral part of its economic and development model, rather than a short-term reaction.

He added that the Kingdom has demonstrated its ability to build the foundations of economic sustainability through strategic long-term investments, highlighting the East–West pipeline as a key example supporting the reliability and stability of global energy supplies.

Performance Beyond Expectations

He also noted the Saudi economy’s strong capacity to absorb global shocks, delivering solid performance in the post-COVID period, despite government spending as a share of GDP being below the G20 average, while achieving growth above the group’s average.

Human Capital.. A Core Driver

The Minister emphasized that clarity of direction and long-term policymaking are essential to strengthening confidence and enhancing investment attractiveness.

He also highlighted the importance of investing in human capital as a key pillar for competitiveness and growth, pointing to Saudi Arabia’s young national talent and positive societal momentum as indicators of the vitality of its development path and growing confidence in its future.
