Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — The Federation of Saudi Chambers and the U.S.–Saudi Business Council have launched a joint action plan to deepen Saudi-U.S. investment cooperation. The plan focuses on high-growth sectors such as artificial intelligence, fintech, clean energy, healthcare innovation, and the broader green economy.
The discussions were led by Hassan Al-Huwaizi, Chairman of the Saudi Chambers, and Charles Hollab, CEO of the U.S.–Saudi Business Council, during the recent U.S. presidential visit to the Kingdom. The meeting emphasized the importance of building resilient, long-term commercial ties between both nations.
Regulatory Coordination and Business Matchmaking Initiatives
As part of the joint initiative, both sides committed to increasing engagement through targeted trade delegations, investment forums, and direct business matchmaking. They also discussed strategies to reduce regulatory friction and improve the ease of doing business between Saudi and U.S. companies.
Al-Huwaizi highlighted the role of the Business Council in launching strategic initiatives that have already sparked several partnerships. Hollab emphasized the momentum gained from high-level political support and the importance of seizing this opportunity to scale bilateral projects.
The Saudi Standard’s View: Reinforcing Bilateral Investment Infrastructure
This agreement signals a shift from dialogue to execution in Saudi-U.S. business ties. The structured approach to investment promotion, sector targeting, and regulatory alignment reflects the Kingdom’s maturing economic diplomacy under Vision 2030.
Historically, Saudi Arabia and the United States have maintained a robust economic relationship spanning nearly a century—anchored in energy, security, and trade. What began as a strategic alliance in traditional sectors has evolved into a multifaceted partnership extending into innovation, clean energy, and financial services.
By channeling capital and expertise into transformative industries, both nations are strengthening a relationship that is no longer transactional but strategically integrated. The deepening of institutional frameworks and the growing footprint of U.S. businesses in the Kingdom reflect a shared commitment to economic resilience and diversification.
With a rising number of American firms eyeing long-term regional operations based in Saudi Arabia, Saudi-American investment is now positioned not just as a bilateral growth engine, but as a cornerstone of broader Gulf economic integration.
