Saudi Arabia opens real estate investment in Mecca and Medina to foreigners to boost economy.

Saudi Arabia's Capital Market Authority (CMA) now allows foreign investment in listed companies that own real estate in Mecca and Medina, aiming to attract foreign capital and support economic diversification from oil. Foreign investment is limited to shares or convertible debt instruments, with a cap of 49% ownership by non-Saudis. This move aligns with Vision 2030 goals to increase pilgrimages to 30 million annually, boosting the economy.
