Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF swung to a profit of 138.1 billion riyals ($36.81 billion) in 2023, it said on Monday.

Total revenues at the Public Investment Fund more than doubled to $88.5 billion last year from $44 billion in 2022, according to a regulatory filing.

The rise in revenues was driven by factors including an improvement in both investment and non-investment activities in sectors like banking, telecommunications and gaming, as well as increased dividends.

Morocco's Tanger Med Port said on Wednesday it maintained its position as the Mediterranean's leading port handling 10.24 million containers, up 18.8% from a year earlier.

Reuters had reported in June that the port was expecting to exceed its nominal processing capacity of 9 million foot equivalent units (TEUs), this year.

Citing reduced waiting and maneuvering times, Tanger Med processed a total of 142 million tons of freight, up 16.2%, the port's authority told Reuters.

The number of vehicles exported through the port grew 4% to 600,872, mostly produced by Renault and Stellantis plants in the country, the port authority said.
