Video game industry helping to reshape Saudi economy, experts say

RIYADH: The booming video game industry in Saudi Arabia is expected to play a crucial role in materializing the economic diversification goals of the Kingdom by the end of this decade, according to experts. 

Speaking to Arab News, Povilas Joniskis, managing director and partner at Boston Consulting Group, said that the gaming industry is steadily evolving in Saudi Arabia, with the Kingdom’s young population considering it an effective social communication tool. 

The comments from Joniskis support the Kingdom’s National Gaming and Esports Strategy, which aims to ensure the sector creates jobs and contributes $13 billion to the country’s gross domestic product.

“Vision 2030’s economic diversification aims to unlock potential beyond oil and gas with a broad array of growing industry sectors. The gaming industry is rapidly emerging as one of them. The sector shows strong long-term potential, currently positioned as one of the largest entertainment verticals globally, second only to video and TV streaming services,” said Joniskis. 

He added: “Saudi Arabia’s gaming market benefits from both demand and supply advantages. On the demand side, a young, vibrant population — predominantly under 35 — views gaming not just as entertainment but as a key social interaction platform.”

In July, a report released by US-based online gaming platform Mobile Premier League revealed that Saudi Arabia has secured the second-highest global ranking for average daily time spent playing video games. 

Joniskis added that the video gaming industry in Saudi Arabia will create a multiplier effect across the broader economy, as it will attract global developers to come and invest in the Kingdom’s gaming sector, as well as create opportunities for local talent. 

Federico Pienovi, chief business officer and CEO for Asia Pacific and Middle East and North Africa at Globant, echoed similar views and said the video game sector is creating new jobs in technology and creative fields while broadening the Kingdom’s entertainment landscape beyond traditional offerings.

“The growth of the video game industry is being integrated into major development projects like NEOM and Qiddiya, which aim to establish entertainment and cultural hubs in the region. Globant’s Games Studio is one of the companies working in this growing market, collaborating with Saudi giga-projects through their expertise in AAA game development and immersive experiences,” Pienovi told Arab News. 

In November, Globant inked a deal with Qiddiya Investment Co. — fully owned by the Public Investment Fund — to turn Qiddiya City into an immersive hub for entertainment, sports, and culture. 

Under the deal, Globant will work with QIC to develop the “PLAY LIFE Connected Experience,” a digital ecosystem designed to transform how visitors and residents interact with the destination’s wide range of offerings. 

Pienovi added his firm is investing in gaming infrastructure and talent development, fostering both international partnerships and local initiatives as part of its strategy to become a key player in the global gaming market, as outlined in Vision 2030. 

Soham Thacker, founder and CEO of esports gaming platform Gamerji, said that has been making long strides in promoting gaming and esports by conducting events like the Esports World Cup, Next World Conference and Gamers8. 

“Saudi Arabia has successfully put itself as the epicenter of the video game industry. These events along with the upcoming Esports Olympics to be held in the region will boost the tourism as well as economic development of the country,” said Thacker.

Factors driving Saudi Arabia’s video game industry

Joniskis said that Saudi Arabia’s predominantly young population, with a majority under 35 years old, has embraced gaming as a primary form of entertainment and socializing, and it is driving the growth of the industry in the Kingdom. 

The BCG official added that high disposable income among Saudi citizens also plays a crucial role, enabling access to premium gaming devices and extensive leisure time for entertainment pursuits. 

“This purchasing power translates directly into enhanced gaming experiences through top-tier hardware,” said Joniskis. 

He added: “Equally significant is the Kingdom’s robust technical infrastructure. Despite Saudi Arabia’s vast territory, the country maintains impressive network performance with CST reports showing low latency rates under 40ms across major titles including League of Legends, ML:BB, Call of Duty on both PC and mobile platforms, and PUBG Mobile.” 

Pienovi said that high smartphone penetration rates and widespread access to high-speed internet have made mobile and online gaming easily accessible across the Kingdom. 

“This infrastructure has helped establish gaming as a mainstream activity, supported by growing interest in esports tournaments, social media gaming communities, and live streaming platforms. 

The cultural shift toward digital entertainment has been complemented by Vision 2030’s focus on expanding the entertainment sector,” said Pienovi. 

Can Saudi Arabia become a global video game hub? 

According to experts who spoke with Arab News, Saudi Arabia’s target to become a global video game hub by the end of this decade is an achievable goal thanks to the Kingdom’s National Gaming Strategy. 

“Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a global gaming hub, while bold, appears achievable through its unprecedented National Gaming Strategy. This coordinated approach ensures orchestrated delivery across various stakeholders and entities, setting a new standard for industry development,” said Joniskis. 

The BCG official added that the Kingdom has aligned key market elements: strong local demand coupled with strategic initiatives, which include targeted incentive packages for global companies and talent, strategic investments through PIF and Savvy, and major infrastructure developments like Qiddiya and NEOM. 

Thacker also underscored the pivotal role being played by PIF to turn the Kingdom into a global gaming destination by the end of this decade. 

FAST FACT

Saudi Arabia’s predominantly young population, with a majority under 35 years old, has embraced gaming as a primary form of entertainment and socializing, and it is driving the growth of the industry in the Kingdom.

“Most of the gaming companies have the PIF as either their partner or an investor. Hence, it is very clear that the country aims to be the hub of the gaming industry and with the millions of dollars spent on events and tournaments in the region, Saudi Arabia is definitely poised to be the hub of gaming in the next few years,” said the Gamerji founder. 

In January, Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund strengthened its investment in the video gaming sector by increasing its stake in Japan-based Koei Techmo from 5.56 percent to 6.6 percent. 

Koei Tecmo is known for developing several popular video games including Nobunaga’s Ambition, Dynasty Warriors, Atelier, and Ninja Gaiden. 

In 2023, PIF also raised its stake in Nintendo to 8.26 percent, making it the largest outside investor in the Japanese gaming company. 

Nintendo is one of the most prominent names in the global video games industry, with a portfolio of titles including Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda, and Mario.

The role of Savvy Games

It was in September 2022 that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched the Savvy Games Group’s strategy, with an investment budget of $37.7 billion. 

Savvy is currently accelerating talent in the Kingdom and catalyzing Saudi Arabia’s unique geographical location to build the dominant global hub for games and esports.

“Savvy Games, backed by the PIF, represents a significant step in developing Saudi Arabia’s gaming industry. With $38 billion allocated for investments, the initiative aims to attract international developers and publishers to establish local operations,” said Pienovi. 

He added: “This substantial funding could accelerate industry growth by enabling partnerships between international gaming companies and local institutions. The investment strategy focuses on building technical capabilities, fostering innovation, and developing gaming infrastructure that aligns with global
industry standards.” 

Echoing similar views, Joniskis told Arab News that Savvy Games has rapidly ascended to become one of the top 10 gaming companies globally by revenue, marking Saudi Arabia’s emergence in the global gaming industry. 

The BCG official added that Savvy is strategically localizing game development activities within Saudi Arabia, creating opportunities for domestic talent. 

“Through strategic acquisitions — ESL, FaceIt, and Vindex — Savvy has established itself as a global esports leader. Partnerships with industry leaders like Niantic and XSolla are strengthening the regional ecosystem through talent academies and incubators, supporting global companies’ regional expansion,” said Joniskis.

Areas of improvement

Joniskis also highlighted some of the areas that could be strengthened to accelerate the growth of Saudi Arabia as a global gaming destination. 

“The Kingdom can strengthen its position by aligning game production incentives with established hubs like Montreal, Austin, and others, enhancing cost competitiveness to attract global developers and investment,” said Joniskis.

He added: “Education represents another crucial focus area. Expanding beyond traditional degree programs to include vocational training would create more accessible pathways for existing talent to enter the gaming industry. This comprehensive approach to talent development supports both immediate and long-term industry needs.” 

For his part, Pienovi said that Saudi Arabia’s gaming presence requires a multi-faceted approach focusing on sustainable growth and innovation. 

The Globant official also underscored the vitality of cultivating local talent through specialized education programs and strategic partnerships with global technology leaders. 

“Innovation zones and dedicated gaming districts could serve as catalysts for industry growth, providing spaces where technology companies, startups, and creative talent can collaborate. This infrastructure development needs to be complemented by investment in competitive gaming facilities and events that can attract international attention,” added Pienovi.

Saudi banks extend $2.4bn in home loans in Feb.; demand broadens across nationals and expats

Saudi banks extend $2.4bn in home loans in Feb.; demand broadens across nationals and expats

Updated 04 April 2025

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s banks issued SR8.91 billion ($2.37 billion) in new residential mortgages to individuals in February — a 28.33 percent annual increase, according to official data.

Figures from the Saudi Central Bank, also known as SAMA, show that apartment lending recorded the highest growth during this period, rising by 46.45 percent to SR2.9 billion.

While houses continue to dominate residential real estate financing with a 62.6 percent share, this is down from 65.24 percent in February 2024 as demand gradually shifts toward apartments.

House loans posted strong growth of 23.05 percent, reaching SR5.57 billion, yet land financing stayed modest at SR436 million, with a minimal increase of 0.61 percent.

This momentum comes as Saudi Arabia pushes toward its Vision 2030 target of achieving 70 percent home ownership.

Demand is being fueled by citizens and a growing expatriate population. A March report by Knight Frank revealed that 72 percent of Saudis and expats aspire to own homes, with the figure soaring to 93 percent among high-income citizens earning more than SR50,000 per month. Among expats, 77 percent now express a desire to buy property in the Kingdom.

Despite the strong demand, affordability remains a challenge, according to Knight Frank — particularly in cities such as Riyadh, where apartment prices have climbed 75 percent since 2019 and villa prices are up 40 percent.

To address this, Saudi authorities are rolling out a wave of regulatory and urban planning reforms. In March, the Royal Commission for Riyadh City and the Council of Economic and Development Affairs unveiled initiatives aimed at stabilizing prices and expanding access to homeownership.

These include lifting restrictions on land transactions and development in key zones of northern Riyadh, unlocking 81.5 sq. km of land for new housing and commercial projects.

At the time, Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan said the move was expected to reduce price volatility, with new plots priced at no more than SR1,500 per sq. meter and made available to Saudi citizens over the age of 25.

As part of its broader Vision 2030 strategy, Saudi Arabia has also been liberalizing real estate laws to attract more foreign investment, especially in fast-growing sectors such as tourism, housing, and special economic zones.

In 2024, officials confirmed that new regulations are underway to expand foreign ownership rights in strategic projects such as NEOM and the Red Sea.

While foreigners can already own residential property in specific zones and access 99-year leases according to the Real Estate Saudi platform, most residential mortgages are concentrated among Saudi nationals, supported by programs like Sakani and Dhamanat.

​Foreign investment in Saudi Arabia’s commercial real estate sector is subject to specific regulations and approval processes. Foreign investors are llowed to own real estate necessary for conducting their licensed business activities, including property for offices and employee accommodation, provided they obtain the requisite approval from the Ministry of Investment.

Additionally, for real estate intended for investment purposes — such as buying, selling, or leasing — the investment must meet a minimum threshold of SR30 million, with a commitment to develop the property within five years, according to the Saudi Embassy website in the US.

These measures ensure that foreign investments align with Saudi Arabia’s broader economic objectives and development plans.

Lebanon central bank must counter money laundering and terrorist financing, new governor says

Updated 04 April 2025
Reuters

BEIRUT: Lebanon’s central bank must focus on fighting money laundering and terrorist financing, its newly appointed governor said on Friday, as he began the job of salvaging the fragile banking sector and getting it off a global watchdog’s “grey list.”

The Financial Action Task Force placed Lebanon on its list of countries requiring special scrutiny last year in a move many have worried could discourage the foreign investment it needs to recover from a 2019 financial crisis that is still felt today.

Terrorist financing and money laundering are top concerns for the US, which wants to prevent Hezbollah from using the Lebanese financial system and cash flows through the country to re-establish itself.

Karim Souaid, who was appointed last week, listed his main priorities during his official handover with the outgoing acting central bank governor who preceded him.

“The most important of these are combating money laundering and terrorist financing, and identifying and disclosing politically and financially influential individuals, their relatives, and those associated with them,” he said.

Souaid replaces interim chief Wassim Mansouri, who has been overseeing the bank since long-serving governor Riad Salameh’s tenure ended in disgrace in 2023 due to the financial implosion and accusations of embezzlement, which Salameh denies.

Triggered by widespread corruption and profligate spending by the ruling class, the financial crisis in Lebanon brought the banking system to a standstill, creating an estimated $72 billion in losses.

Souaid said the central bank would work to reschedule public debt and pay back depositors, while calling upon private banks to gradually raise their capital by injecting fresh funds.

Those banks unable or unwilling to do so, should look to merge with other institutions. Otherwise, they would be liquidated in an orderly manner, with their licenses revoked and depositors’ rights protected, he said.

Souaid also pledged to safeguard the central bank’s independence from political pressure and prevent conflicts of interest.

“I will ensure that this national institution remains independent in its decision-making, shielded from interference, and grounded in the core principles of transparency and integrity,” he said.

Office returns: Up to 59% of firms to increase investment in workplace fit-outs by 2030, says JLL

Office returns: Up to 59% of firms to increase investment in workplace fit-outs by 2030, says JLL 

Updated 04 April 2025
REEM WALID 

RIYADH: The global office sector is rebounding as companies scale back hybrid employment options, increasing demand for workspaces, a new survey shows.

The study by JLL, featured in the Global Office Fit-Out Costs Guide 2025, reveals that 59 percent of organizations are increasing investments in design and fit-outs. 

The report, which analyzes data from 68 cities across 40 countries, also highlights that office fit-out costs have risen in the past 12 months across all regions surveyed, with varying degrees of increase.

According to JLL, as in previous years, the highest fit-out costs are found in the US, Canada, and the UK, as well as Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Singapore and Japan also feature high in the list.

This correlates with the global office spaces market, which was valued at $3.1 trillion in 2022 and is projected to grow to $4.9 trillion by 2032. According to Allied Market Research, this represents a compound annual growth rate of 4.6 percent.

It also aligns with the growth of the office space market fueled by a rise in infrastructure projects for the commercial sector, including the development of new office buildings, business parks, and the renovation of workplaces in urban areas.

In a statement reflecting on the study, JLL’s CEO of Project and Development Services at Work Dynamics Cynthia Kantor said: “Five years following the start of the global pandemic, we continue to see the evolution and growing momentum toward the office sector.”

The JLL analysis further highlighted that multinational corporations must understand regional disparities in office fit-out costs to inform strategic planning.

Regionally, North America commands the highest office fit-out premium, with an average cost of 3,070 per sq. meter, well above the global average of 1,830 per sq. meter.

In Latin America, the average cost is 1,790, while in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the average price is 1,970. The Asia Pacific region offers the lowest average fit-out cost at $1,460.

Significant variations in office fit-out costs also exist between major urban areas. US cities lead the top 20 municipalities with the highest office fit-out costs, alongside prominent locations like Vancouver, Tokyo, London, and Dubai.

Fast-growing cities in India, South Africa, Vietnam, and China offer some of the lowest fit-out costs despite the fact they are seeing rapid construction growth and an evolving cost landscape.

Macro-economic impacts

The JLL report further sheds light on how, in the markets evaluated, increases in fit-out costs over the past 12 months were primarily driven by inflation, rising material costs, and currency fluctuations. 

Additionally, 75 percent of the markets saw a rise in raw material prices, while 50 percent experienced labor shortages that contributed to higher construction costs.

“Organizations need to factor in these potential cost factors throughout global construction when developing their fit-out budgets,” the JLL statement said.

It added that builder works or construction account for the largest component of fit-out costs  — 37 percent —  in all regions except Latin America. 

These costs can be most susceptible to raw material prices and supply chain risks. Mechanical and electrical expenses account for the second-largest cost, varying from 20 percent to 45 percent.

Sustainability continues to fuel growing demand

The study by JLL explains that as interest in healthier, energy-efficient workspaces surges and supply struggles to meet demand, the need for sustainable fit-outs is growing.

According to the survey, 60 percent of markets have seen a rise in client inquiries for more sustainable fit-outs over the past year.

This aligns with recent JLL Future of Work research, which revealed that 66.66 percent of organizations worldwide plan to increase their investment in sustainability over the next five years.

“A large part of sustainable fit-out costs are dedicated to mechanical and electrical services, which, across all countries, were found to account for an average of 29 percent of total fit-out expenses, with some regions reporting 40-50 percent of costs,” the JLL report said.

“However, these upfront costs are often where the greatest long-term cost efficiencies can be found, as research has also shown that investing in upgrades to M&E services can save between 10 percent - 40 percent on operational energy costs, depending on the level of investment and upgrade,” it added.

Investing in energy-efficient components during fit-outs and consulting with sustainability experts early in the planning phase can help incorporate sustainability requirements and costs into decision-making, thereby minimizing the risk of late adjustments, the JLL statement justified.

Optimism for offices amid caution over potential challenges

Despite a positive outlook, office fit-out development faces several challenges.

That said, the report underlines a need for global firms to address local and regional issues such as labor shortages, talent acquisition, and material availability, as well as liquidity to ensure project success.

The report also suggests that economic and political uncertainty, particularly trade and tariff implications, continue to create instability.

Consequently, early planning for lease expirations and strategic investment in existing buildings is set to benefit both landlords and occupiers, helping to manage costs and navigate the tighter timeframes caused by hesitancy around investment.

“The global office sector faces a complex landscape of challenges and opportunities in 2025,” the Director of Research and Strategy at Work Dynamics Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Ruth Hynes, said.

“As corporate clients grow and expand their footprints, we anticipate the office construction will remain active even amid market uncertainty, and encourage early, strategic planning to ensure the success of fit-out initiatives,” Hynes added.

Oil Updates — crude tumbles 8% as China retaliates with tariffs on US

  • Brent and WTI set for lowest close since April 2021
  • China to impose retaliatory tariffs on US
Updated 04 April 2025
Reuters

LONDON: Oil prices plunged by 8 percent on Friday, heading for their lowest close since the midst of the coronavirus pandemic in 2021, as China hit back in an escalating global trade war with the US after President Donald Trump’s barrage of levies this week.

China announced it will impose additional tariffs of 34 percent on all US goods from April 10. Nations around the world have readied retaliation after Trump raised tariff barriers to their highest in more than a century, leading to a plunge in world financial markets.

Brent futures dived by $5.30, or 7.6 percent, to $64.84 a barrel by 3:54 p.m. Saudi time. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures lost $5.47, or 8.2 percent, to $61.48.

Both benchmarks were on course for their biggest weekly losses in percentage terms in more than two years.

“China’s aggressive countermove to US tariffs all but confirms we are heading toward a global trade war; a war that has no winners and which will hurt economic growth and demand for key commodities such as crude oil and refined products,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank.

Fuelling the oil sell-off was a decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known collectively as OPEC+, to advance plans for output increases, with the group now aiming to return 411,000 barrels per day to the market in May, up from the previously planned 135,000 bpd.

Imports of oil, gas and refined products were given exemptions from Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, but the policies could stoke inflation, slow economic growth and intensify trade disputes, weighing on oil prices.

Goldman Sachs analysts responded with sharp cuts to their December 2025 targets for Brent and WTI by $5 each to $66 and $62 respectively.

“The risks to our reduced oil price forecast are to the downside, especially for 2026, given growing risks of recession and to a lesser extent of higher OPEC+ supply,” the bank’s head of oil research, Daan Struyven, said in a note.
