Saudi Minister of Finance Mohammed Aljadaan participated in the fourth edition of the FII PRIORITY Miami 2026 summit, which took place as part of the Future Investment Initiative in Miami, United States, from March 25 to 27.
The summit brought together business leaders, policymakers, and investors from around the world to discuss changes in the global economy and future directions for investments amid evolving economic and geopolitical conditions.
Aljadaan spoke during a panel session titled “The Changemakers Board: A New Geography of Investment.” He said that investors evaluate opportunities based on stability, resilience, growth potential, clarity of long-term vision and planning, along with risk-adjusted returns. “Countries best positioned to attract investment are those with strong foundations that enable them to respond effectively to change and external challenges,” Aljadaan said. He added that Saudi Arabia has established this approach through a clear vision and long-term objectives. According to him, resilience is embedded in its economic model rather than being a short-term response.
He cited strategic long-term investments as key for building economic sustainability. As an example, he mentioned the East-West pipeline’s role in supporting global energy supply reliability. Aljadaan also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s ability to absorb global shocks while maintaining spending below G20 averages but achieving higher growth rates than other G20 countries after COVID-19.
Aljadaan emphasized that clarity of direction and consistent policymaking strengthen confidence among investors. He underlined investing in human capital as essential for competitiveness and growth. Pointing out Saudi Arabia’s young workforce and positive social momentum, he described these factors as signs of vitality within its development path.
