RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has launched a new company in Egypt to drive investment in a range of sectors in the country, including infrastructure, real estate development, and health care.
The Saudi Egyptian Investment Company will improve access for the PIF and its portfolio companies, along with the Saudi private sector, to a variety of investment opportunities in Egypt.
Other sectors identified by the PIF include financial services, food and agriculture, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical.
