Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which has about $930bn worth of assets, said it intended to cut the proportion of funds invested overseas to between 18 and 20%, down from 30%.

Yasir Al Rumayyan, governor of PIF and chairman of Saudi Aramco and the FII Institute, speaking at the start of FII8 in Riyadh on Tuesday said there needs to be a global shift in focus from short term gains to sustainable growth supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI) that could benefit both economies and societies. The head of the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund added that in a world marred by uncertainty, countries which can bridge gaps between East and West are essential. He said Saudi Arabia is a “super connector” thanks to its unique resources and strategic geographic location, which enables it to drive investments in infrastructure and technology.
