The Ministry of Investment (MISA) serves as Saudi Arabia's central authority for promoting and enabling investment activities, coordinating support for both international and domestic investors. Based in Riyadh and led by His Excellency Minister Fahad Al-Saif, the ministry connects investors with high-growth opportunities in priority sectors. It provides end-to-end investor assistance, ranging from market-entry guidance and licensing to strategic introductions, regulatory support, and aftercare as part of a modernizing business environment. Established as the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority and reconstituted as a ministry in 2020, MISA reflects a transition to a formal government entity focused on investment promotion. In 2026, the ministry announced digital enhancements—developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce—that greatly simplified the pathway for company incorporation. Operating within the international trade and development landscape, it seeks to foster regulatory reform and targeted incentives to attract and retain investment in the Kingdom.
