His Excellency Eng. Saad bin Abdulaziz Al-Khalb, CEO of Saudi EXIM, said: “Saudi EXIM is working to expand its partnerships with local and international entities to support and diversify innovative financing products and credit solutions that meet the objectives of our partners and beneficiaries. These developments will enhance the competitiveness of Saudi products, increase the economic impact of non-oil exports on the GDP, and reinforce the growth of the alternative economy in support of the Vision 2030 goals of building a prosperous and sustainable economy.”
Commenting on the occasion, Mohammad Abunayyan, Chairman of ACWA Power, said: “As a Saudi national champion with extensive expertise in project finance, including working with export credit agencies from across the world, we have firsthand experience in driving knowledge transfer and using it effectively to build national project financing capabilities. We value this agreement with Saudi EXIM and look forward to partnering with their teams on our projects, as we continue on delivering solutions that create economic benefits within the country and support the ambitious Saudi Vison 2030 goals.”
Saudi EXIM provides export financing, guarantees, credit insurance and other facilities to enhance confidence in Saudi exports and facilitate entry into new markets. The organisation was conceptualized under the framework of Vision 2030, under the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, to diversify the Kingdom’s economy, expand its non-oil exports, and increase the ability of Saudi companies to compete in global markets in diverse sectors.
