Jadwa Investments has partnered with the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development to launch two investment funds for the local non-profit sector.

The launching ceremony was held in the presence of Deputy Minister of Human Resources and Social Development and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector Majid Al-Ghanimi.

Jadwa will provide an investment platform that is compliant with the provisions of Islamic Sharia and dedicated to non-profit organizations licensed by the National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector.

In a statement on its website, Jadwa said the funds will provide the non-profit sector with a Sharia-compliant investment platform to preserve and grow its capital over the long term through balanced and conservative investments across asset classes.

Jadwa will also provide the strategic and operational support to ensure that the funds are managed in line with the investment objectives, risk appetite and liquidity requirements of participating non-profit organizations.

Riyadh Air Willing to Buy Boeing Planes from Cancelled Chinese Orders

Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas on Monday said that the Saudi startup carrier would be ready to buy Boeing aircraft destined for Chinese airlines if they are not delivered due to the escalating trade war between the United States and China.

Boeing is looking to resell potentially dozens of planes locked out of China by tariffs after repatriating a third jet to the United States in a delivery standoff that drew new criticism of Beijing from US President Donald Trump.

"What we've done... is made it quite clear to Boeing, should that ever happen, and the keyword there is should, we'll happily take them all," Douglas said in an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the Arabian Travel Market conference.

Boeing took the rare step of publicly flagging the potential aircraft sale during an analyst call last week, saying that there would be no shortage of buyers in a tight jet market.
