The CEO of the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), Eng. Majed Al-Argoubi, has revealed that the volume of industrial investments in textiles and fabrics within the scope of MODON exceeds SR4.1 billion.

These investments are distributed over 125 industrial contracts in 19 industrial cities, covering a total area of more than one million square meters.

Al-Argoubi's comments came on Monday at the inauguration of the second edition of the Men's Fabrics and Accessories Exhibition, which is sponsored by MODON and being held at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center for five days.

According to Al-Argoubi, the textiles and men's supplies sector is experiencing high growth in the Kingdom. Most of its raw materials are sourced from Saudi Arabia, making it an attractive sector for investments.

He added that the industrial sector in the Kingdom is going through remarkable developments, thanks to the support provided by the Saudi leadership to invest in value-added projects.

MODON has also prepared advanced infrastructure, supporting logistical services, and several ready-made products and innovative solutions in all regions across the Kingdom and different areas to build factories in various sectors.

Saudi Arabia's market regulator said on Monday it would allow foreign investment in listed companies that own real estate within Islam's two holiest sites of Makkah and Madinah.

Saudi Arabia's market watchdog, the Capital Market Authority (CMA), said in a statement the move aimed to attract foreign capital and provide liquidity for present and future projects in the two cities.

The CMA said that under Monday's move foreign investment would be limited to shares, convertible debt instruments, or both, and would exclude "strategic foreign investors.”

It added that people without Saudi nationality would not be allowed to own more than 49% of shares of the firms involved.

In 2021, it allowed non-Saudis to subscribe to real estate funds investing within the boundaries of Makkah and Madinah.
