PIF contributed 11% of Saudi non-oil GDP in 2025, cumulative SAR 1.28 trillion since 2021. Net profit doubled, AUM hit SAR 3.4 trillion.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund contributed the equivalent of 11% of the kingdom's non-oil gross domestic product in 2025, Vice President and Head of the PIF's Corporate Strategy Sector Reem Al Johani said Monday.
The cumulative contribution of the PIF to Saudi Arabia's real non-oil GDP since 2021 reached SAR 1.28 trillion ($341 billion), Al Johani said in a statement marking the release of the fund's annual report.
A share that size means the PIF is now a primary driver of economic activity outside the oil sector. Non-oil GDP covers industries such as tourism, entertainment, and logistics – areas where the fund has been the lead investor through giga-projects like NEOM and the Red Sea development. The 11% figure shows how much of that growth is directly tied to PIF spending and portfolio company output.
Al Johani said the PIF strengthened its global footprint by opening offices for three portfolio companies in Europe and Asia, and made selected investments in key markets. International investments rose 12% during the year, she said. That expansion gives the fund a broader base beyond its domestic mandate.
CFO Yasir Alsalman said the fund's net profit more than doubled year-on-year in 2025, while assets under management reached SAR 3.4 trillion. Cumulative domestic investments over the 2021–2025 period stood at around SAR 750 billion, he said.
Doubling profit while keeping domestic spending on track suggests the PIF is generating returns from its portfolio even as it funnels capital into long-term projects. Alsalman also highlighted several agreements signed with leading global asset managers, part of what he described as efforts to strengthen strategic international partnerships.
For the next phase, Al Johani said the PIF will advance six integrated domestic economic ecosystems under the Vision portfolio, alongside its strategic and financial investment portfolios. The goal is to create sustainable value domestically while investing internationally in high-return opportunities aligned with long-term global trends.
Those six ecosystems – which include tourism, entertainment, and logistics – are the same sectors the fund has been building through portfolio companies such as the Red Sea Development Company and the Diriyah Gate Development Authority. By tying its domestic strategy to specific ecosystems, the PIF is creating a structure where each portfolio company operates within a defined economic cluster rather than as a standalone investment.
Al Johani said the PIF continued its transformation into a fully digitally enabled investment institution, using artificial intelligence. The fund also maintained its position among the world's leading sovereign wealth funds in adherence to the Governance, Sustainability and Resilience Index standards issued by Global SWF for 2025.
The annual report, released Aug. 17, covers a year in which the PIF deepened its role as the main vehicle for Saudi Arabia's economic diversification. The 11% non-oil GDP contribution and the SAR 1.28 trillion cumulative figure are the clearest measures of that shift.
