A joint private equity fund has been proposed by Saudi and Pakistani investors, as per a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed on November 9, 2026. The agreement was brokered by the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council, an entity established by both nations to foster private-sector trade and investment. The fund's initial size is projected to be several hundred million dollars, with contributions from investors in both countries.
In line with the proposed structure, 75 percent of the fund's investments will be directed towards Pakistan, while the remaining 25 percent will be allocated to Saudi Arabia. The portfolio will encompass private businesses in various sectors such as agriculture, mining, construction, and other industries. Additionally, the fund will explore investment prospects tied to the Pakistani government's initiative to commercialize public land and assets, including airports, motorways, ports, and maritime development projects.
In Saudi Arabia, commercial investments in projects within the holy cities are also under consideration.
The MoU enables institutions from both countries to participate in the equity of the fund management company. However, the finalization of the fund’s structure and initial investments hinges on obtaining regulatory approvals in both nations. Once these approvals are secured, the fund’s establishment and investments will be put into motion.
