He added: 鈥淭his will empower these institutions to effectively implement their strategic projects and expansion plans, thereby increasing their contribution to economic growth and supporting the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.鈥�

In a separate statement, Al-Rajhi Bank announced that the deal with NDF is valued at SR3 billion for a 12-month duration.

In a post on its official X account, the NDF said that the agreements are part of its 鈥渃ommitment to supporting development projects and empowering funds and banks within its ecosystem.鈥�

Speaking to Arab News in February, Jaber Al-Salah, chairman of the academic chapter and member of the steering committee of the World Association of Public-Private Partnership Units and Professionals, explained how the deals align with the Vision 2030 drive to boost the private sector鈥檚 contribution to gross domestic product from 40 percent to 65 percent by the end of the decade. 

鈥淧PPs offer several benefits to the private party, making them an attractive option for collaboration. These partnerships also support government objectives by improving public asset efficiency, enhancing service coverage, quality, and rationalizing spending,鈥� he said.
