New $5.3 billion entity to invest in equity at home and abroad.

Saudi Arabia is close to announcing the strategy and business plan for a $5.3 billion new state investment vehicle.

The new concern will be able to invest in assets, including companies’ equity, directly and indirectly, abroad, as well as within Saudi Arabia. The chairman of the board will be the minister of finance, Ibrahim Al Assaf.
