Najran municipali­ty unveils 20 investment opportunit­ies

- Arab News Riyadh

Saudi Arabia’s Najran municipali­ty has unveiled 20 diverse investment opportunit­ies across the governorat­e of Yadamah, encompassi­ng commercial, sports, recreation­al, shopping, and event activities. These prospects are dispersed across various locations within the locale, including parks, squares, main roads, and public walkways, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency.

The municipali­ty said that the investment opportunit­ies range from temporary agreements to investment deals spanning five to 25 years in various activities. It invited interested investors to review the possibilit­ies and details of the competitio­n through the Forsah platform, which translates to “opportunit­y” in English. On March 26, Prince Turki bin Hathloul bin Abdulaziz, deputy governor of Najran region, received a briefing on eight investment opportunit­ies within the province during his meeting with Saleh Al-Ghamdi, the region’s mayor, who along with other officials, visited the governor’s office.

Prince Turki stressed the importance of seizing the region’s available investment opportunit­ies through collaborat­ion among all government entities.

Observers may recall that in August 2023, Najran Municipali­ty Investment Co. was launched to boost investment activity in the region.

The new entity, a closed jointstock government firm, was establishe­d to serve as an investment arm of the region’s municipali­ty and a valuable addition to its businesses. Abdullah Al-Fadel, the official spokespers­on for the municipali­ty, emphasized that this move was expected to contribute positively to the region’s economic developmen­t.

He also explained that the new company will work on three main axes. The first is the axis of managing and developing municipal investment contracts.

The second axis includes managing municipal service contracts. The spokesman added that the third axis involves establishi­ng tourism developmen­t projects with the participat­ion of the private sector.
