Saudi FDI Net Inflows Jump 90% to SAR 48.4 Billion in Q4 2025

Saudi Arabia’s foreign direct investment net inflows rose 90% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2025 to reach SAR 48.4 billion, according to a report published by the General Authority for Statistics.

The quarterly trend also strengthened. Net inflows increased 82% compared to the previous quarter. Total foreign direct investment inflows stood at SAR 50.6 billion in Q4 2025, a 29% rise from the same quarter a year earlier and a 69% increase from Q3 2025.

Outflows decreased sharply over the same period. Foreign direct investment outflows fell 84% year-on-year to SAR 2.2 billion in Q4 2025, and were 33% lower than in the previous quarter. The report indicated that the combination of higher inflows and lower outflows underpinned the strong net inflow performance during the quarter.
