The Saudi National Development Fund is preparing to launch a new fund targeting infrastructure projects in the Kingdom.

The capital of the new fund could “reach several billion riyals”, Asharq Business reported, citing unidentified sources.

Muhammad bin Mazyad Al-Tuwaijri, deputy chairman of the National Development Fund said in February that the Kingdom had started to work  on the launch of an infrastructure fund.

Saudi Arabia launched an ambitious SR12 trillion ($3.2 trillion) program in March to boost the role of the private sector in diversifying the economy.
Under the ‘Shareek program’, private sector businesses will be helped to invest SR5 trillion between now and 2030, along with SR3 trillion from the country’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and SR4 trillion as part of a new national investment strategy.
