Preqin published a report about the expanding private debt market in Saudi Arabia. At PFG, we are honored to be featured as a growth debt provider in the local ecosystem. 🔑 Key drivers detailed in the report 1. Favorable regulatory advancements 2. Regional and global investors are showing increased confidence in Saudi Arabia's private debt market with foreign direct investment (FDI) accelerating 3. Investor demand for diversification is driving interest in private credit as a less volatile alternative to public equities 💬 From Armineh Baghoomian, Managing Director and Head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa, and Co-Head of Global Fintech at PFG: "Since completing the first deal in Saudi Arabia four years ago, we’ve seen tremendous momentum in the market. From equity capital to regulatory advancements, the ecosystem is flourishing. As demonstrated by companies like Tabby and TruKKer, alternative financing solutions such as venture debt and asset-backed lending are critical tools for fueling growth. We’re proud to support dynamic entrepreneurs with flexible capital solutions and look forward to continuing this journey as the market deepens." 📈 Why It Matters: Private debt is becoming a cornerstone for Saudi Arabia’s economic transformation, offering more robust funding opportunities and diversification opportunities for institutional investors.
